Ran my first half marathon race around the beautiful Monterey Bay environs.
Me running at the ~8 mile mark, waving. Selfie at the start of the race. Strava screengrab showing the rout, 1 hour 56 minute time. Also personal record.

Periodically, I like to reread my favorite Scottish poem: Batman's Aff His Nut by Robert Florence.
Batman's aff his nut Have you seen the way he cuts aboot Dressed up as a mad fuckin bat Batterin guys I was lit at: "Mate, I'm worried aboot ye I know yer ma and da died But everybody's ma and da dies And we're no aw runnin aboot Hookin muggers and Kickin psychopaths in the baws." And that was when Batman went "Aye, but do you ever FEEL like it? Do you ever look at the world and FEEL like it? Like having a big mad base under your hoose? Do you ever feel like drivin a big mad motor that turns intae a tank? And leather fuck oot of guys aw night? Scarin' the fuckin SHITE oot of them?" And that was when I was lit at: "Aye. Fuck it. Ah dae." And that's the Secret Origin of Robin and everybody else.
