This scares the hell out of the so-called “tough guy” in the White House. Donald Trump, you and your ridiculous sycophants are incompetent and pathetic. #nokings #nokingsprotest #chingatumaga

Last weekend I did my first half marathon in a decade…for this weekend’s adventure I did my first triathlon ever. Next weekend’s adventure is going to be sleeping in. #triathlon #swimbikerun #swim #bike #running

If this little bit of speculation turns out to be true then the Dems are idiots too. Musk doesn’t belong anywhere near ANY government (or any business for that matter but c’est la vie).
This timeline that we’re on is so damn stupid.

Finished my first half-marathon in 10 years today. I felt great after the race but now I’m ready to rest for the remainder of today! #running

Well, I’m either super motivated or simply insane. I’ve got my first half-marathon in 10 years on June 1, and today I registered for my first ever triathlon, which will occur just a week later.

First race of the year! This one was a 10K and I’m not as fast as I used to be BUT I’m happy to find that I am faster than I thought I’d be after such a long break from running races.
