Field notes

The project records each run as a single mark in a growing visual log, with distance represented by the height of the mark. The page reports 2,973 kilometres across 362 completed days, no missed days, and a 36-kilometre longest run. It also preserves family photographs and a first-person account connecting the routine to grief, sobriety, physical health, and the memory of Rafaël, who died at age two in 2018.
