What’s happening in B.O.’s world?

As of 2/18/25

Galleys are out for The Front Runner, it’s available for pre-order.

The final, final, final draft was turned on on Feb. 4 and now we hustle.

I won’t be doing any travel outside the region, so I suspect the farthest I’ll travel for the book is Seattle and Portland. Everything else will be podcasts, podcasts, podcasts.

If you’re someone who does running-related stuff, deliver me an email.

It’s pretty silly how excited I am about this old-school book cover I made for my Field Notes journal. Made it with a grocery story paper bag. Gen Xers unite!

Also, where did all the fun blogs and websites go? YouTube? I miss the old casual browsing of blogs and websites.

Don’t you hate that feeling when you click on a link thinking it’s a story, but it’s a 90-minute podcast and you’re like, “Damn, not everything has to be a podcast.”

Turned in my book for the final time today. I can’t tell you how excited I am to not look at it for four months. You reach a point where you hate your words SO fucking much.
