A very special speaker today for one of my daughter’s classes. (I watched over her shoulder…)

Getting back into the swing of things. Just had time for a short neighborhood loop. Really need to get my time back down though! 🏃🏃🏃

Got a run in today before it got too smoky. This is one of my favorite runs because it hugs the Alameda ridge and has some great views. 🏃

Finally made it out to Adelsheim today to pick up my CJ McCollum wine. One for now, one for later! 🍷

After two weeks off because of smoke, this one was TOUGH especially the last mile. 🏃🤕

Just a short “maintenance” run 🏃 today. Too much going on to go for a long one.

To make the play-in, the Blazers 🏀 need to win their last game OR 2 of the following teams to lose: Grizzlies, Spurs, Suns. If they win their next game, they only need to win 1 play-in game. If they lose, they need to win 2. Unless all 3 of those teams lose. Nutso!!! 🤪

Damian Lillard. That is all everyone else can sit down. 🏀🔥🏀🔥

Took a day off yesterday so decided to hit it hard tonight. Was able to get my 8 mile pace under 10 mins/mile. My headlamp ran out of power around mile 6 though so the last two were a little scary in the dark. 😳😳😳 🏃🌜🔥

There is very little in the sports world that is more difficult or gut wrenching than being a Portland Trailblazers fan. Also, I got to be a virtual fan today! 🏀🏀🏀

Finally hit one of my goals which is a sub-hour 10k! 🏃🔥

This is the largest spider I have ever seen not in a zoo. This was in our basement… 😱😱😱

At 96 degrees I wasn’t going to make it for a long run so I did a couple mile sprints. Best one was 7:40 which is a PR but still short of my interim 7:30 goal. I can’t believe I ran a 5:50 in high school. That’s not coming back! Getting old sucks. 🏃🔥🏃🔥
