Even my avatar has gray hair.
Zwifted 40km on Zwift's Tempus Fugit (a favorite, partly because it has the lowest elevation, and the Latin has a nice ring to it). I've been cycling virtually in Watopia and Makuri Islands for a year now. Imaginary islands where I genuinely treasure some peace, playfulness, a sense of safety and a sense of living out a fantasy, while literally gaining power. Since it's Sunday, and there is time I can pass, I decided to go for a 5km run outside. I hop off the ride and went on to run. I just took off from the street outside the house. A young man's been following and running along, he calls me Sir and he asks if he can follow along. He looks really young and he says he's 18. Turns out we are neighbors. He's in Manila to study but he's really from the South, he says. We talk about Zwift, compare Hoka and Nike and our Garmin devices. We paced 5"27 for around 5k, and I feel that time really just zips by.
