*Not necessarily in that order
Day three of Kenzie being the most sweet and curious girl while the new kitties acknowledge her existence with suspicion

Find someone who wants to cuddle you so hard that you can hardly hear the TV over their snoring

The husband got the #NFLdraft on the TV. The wife got a French wine. The #corgi got cheese. It’s one hell of a Friday in this household

We did it! Our #firstmarathon completed in #Paris of all cities. This truly is our #ArcdeTriomphe @jlasher.bsky.social

Yes, I am openly weeping in this photo. Yes, those are tears of relief and joy and pride. Soooo different from the tears shed at miles 18, 19, 22, and 23

Aaaand the general sentiment of how the second half of our first #marathon went.

It got better after I took my next two GUs. After that, it was an emotional march to the gulag and a lot of questioning of life decisions.

The #MarathondeParis was a story with two halves: How that story started

First half of our #firstmarathon: singing to the jams in our ears (not to brag, but I have an EPIC running playlist), power-ups and unbridled excitement.

Not pictured: me doing a little #Mario jump after tapping the power up!

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to be the last wave of the last corral of #marathon starters, here are some visual aids. It’s surreal, like a zombie movie in reverse.

#Strava is broken and just like the time I lost my mood ring, I don’t know how I feel about it, but I have a strong sense it’s dark.

The perfect restaurant birthday celebration: candle in dessert, no singing, clapping, or other extroverted fanfare

I believe:
💖 In a thing called love
🧦 In the healing properties of compression socks after a long run
🍪 I will have a third — no, fourth — cookie after that run

Recently dusted off my old favorite camera.

And I suddenly remember why it was my favorite:

Last year, I wasn’t even sure if I could run the Dash for the Beads after fighting a horrible infection the weeks prior. This year, clocked a PR and broke the top 10 in my division! The work adds up! #running #5k #Dashforthebeads

Today Kenzie got to enjoy her very first Bishop Arts Mardi Gras parade, and we got to experience our first one that wasn’t rainy and gray!

I legit would love for this neighborhood to close down certain blocks to vehicle traffic every weekend, it’s just a totally different vibe

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Driving hours to pick out exotic orchids demands some #roadtrip treats for the bestest #corgi #adventuredog around

The weird thing about participating in today’s big vendor #boycott was that it changed absolutely nothing about my Friday. #Shopsmall y’all. All the time!

Amazon’s checkout is broken. Reroutes to “Top picks for you” instead of cart checkout. Amazing. I wonder how many millions they’re losing by the minute. QA is the most undervalued discipline of web. Completely invisible until it’s not.

Three weeks ago I changed my #running shoes from the balanced Hoka Skyflow to the super plush Bondi 9.

For the last week-ish my #Achilles has been barking at me… so much that I skipped this week’s long run, which I hate 2 months out from my #firstmarathon.

Is this coincidence or is this a thing?

This guy voted for RFK Jr. to lead HHS.

The hypocrisy would be comical if it wasn’t so tragic.

Expectation going into training for my first marathon:

“As I run more, I’ll become faster and shed a few pounds.”

Reality: My pace keeps slowing and I’ve gained weight from fueling.

I am a slow, thicc runner.

I am the corgi of running.

Sound on for what @jlasher.bsky.social experiences the last couple of miles as my running partner every time we extend our long run distance.

For clarity: I’m Roy, he’s Ted. And Beard.

Don’t need a finish line or medal or free banana to celebrate a hard-fought win. New long run distance of 16 miles AND put on the afterburners the last mile to lower overall pace by more than ten seconds.
