One year ago, I ran my first 5K at an average pace of 8:18/mile. This fall, I ran my personal best half marathon at an 8:24/mile pace. I'm on track for 1,000 miles of running this year.
I've learned a lot about myself, my body, and my mind. It's made me a better partner, person, and writer. 🏃🏻♂️💨🏅

Final Fantasy Tactics is a very serious political drama about the long-term ramifications of economic and social inequality.
It’s also a game where two squids named Salami and FedEx Kinko’s kick your ass.
