First time in a month that I have ran this far and it felt like it. Slow going on the hills back and exhausted after. Still, only came in a few seconds behind my pace from last run of this route. Beers during tonight's game will cure all 🍻

While it wasn't as scenic as running in SD, getting back to long runs made it well worth it. The mask definitely kept me from getting plenty of air while I was in the park sections. Still, not bad time considering the circumstances and lack of running consistently. Finally earned my medal from the cancelled race and kept the legacy status going. Cheers! 🍻

Five years of running LA and I still get nervous the night before. Always difficult to turn off my brain so I can sleep well. Always feel a rush of nervousness as I wait in my corral for the starting signal. And as always, none of it would be possible without the support of the Pasadena pacers, friends, and family. Meghann surprised me with this awesome shirt that I'll proudly wear from dodgers stadium to the sea. Cheers to another year I get to run the city I love 🍻

Signed up for the 15k but since I was still a bit

Signed up for the 15k but since I was still a bit stiff from yesterday, made the choice to stick to the 5k. Finished in about 9:45/mi. Felt good, not very sore just tired. Time to put my feet up for the rest of the weekend.

While I didn't feel as great as Brandy Chastain, I did feel very happy about getting back under two hours in a half marathon. Maybe not the best idea since it is quite a bit faster than my marathon pace but sometimes you just feel like pushing out of the comfort zone. Still, I feel great post race and already had a few celebratory pints. With tomorrow off, I might have a few more. 🍻

After spending a week in a hotel conference room, I needed this. Such a beautiful morning. Now time to rest up and hit the mean streets of Pasadena tommorow.

Pin day! This time is to commemorate the final operations of one of the most impactful telescopes, Spitzer. So long Spitzer and thanks for the science!

Currently only a few chapters in but it does valid

Currently only a few chapters in but it does validate some of my training habits (picking Meghann over miles) and gives me hope that I can still set long term running goals without having to go pro.

Enjoying the last day in Bellingham. Got in plenty

Enjoying the last day in Bellingham. Got in plenty of walks and two runs. Always love running along the bay trail. You can get lost in the miles while taking in the gorgeous views and crisp air. Found plenty of good food, beer, and cider. Cheers to a great break 🍻

Pin and ornament day! The pin commemorates the 10t

Pin and ornament day! The pin commemorates the 10th anniversary launch of WISE (Wide field Infrared Survey Explorer). A mission that did such a great job that it was brought out of hibernation for a second mission: NEOWISE.
The ornament this year is a nod to the successful launch of InSight and MarCO I & II. The card says: Happy Holidays to those near... (Inside) And far.

Love these little bits of recognition to our past, present, and future work.
