Journal
Every run, reflection, plan change, and setback — in the order they happened
The Journal is the primary content of this project. Runs are one entry type among several: reflections, plan updates, doctor conversations, test updates, injuries, gear decisions, and explainers all get equal billing here. Not every run makes the homepage; every run is published.
