The most read post this month was our group review of Nyad on Netflix. It was a sickly weekend but a lovely one with Sarah and me visiting Catherine in Boston. We recommend the movie and we also recommend catching up with old friends over Middle Eastern food, throat lozenges, walks around Walden Pond, and meeting new babies for the first time…New England autumn is awfully lovely.
Alison Conway ran the NYC marathon and then blogged about it for us. Her post which touched on running, but also on the subway and community and connections, was the second most read post in November. Did you miss it? You should go read it!

Awhile back (in 2020) I got annoyed at the appearance of my Zwift avatar and blogged about the absence of representation of large muscular women’s bodies in general. That post was the third most read this month.

Tracy’s 2013 (!) post The Shape of an Athlete is also on the theme of the diversity of athletic bodies and it’s still rocking along, this month as our fourth most read post.

I think Christine’s post on finishing 2023 soft struck a note with many of us around the blog. I loved it. I needed. Thanks Christine. It’s a great message. And it was the fifth most read post in November.

The sixth most read post in November was Cate’s classic, I’m 53 and a half and I’m still menstruating: is this a good thing?
Another classic, Yoga poses I simply can’t do, and what I do instead by Catherine, was our seventh most read post.
Cate’s Grief in Three Movements was eighth.
Is Enough Abundance? by Mina was ninth.
Guest blogger Cheryl wrote our tenth most read post, Racing at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona.
