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

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

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.

Throwing back to the early 2000s and using MapQuest again because, so far, they haven’t bowed to utter stupidity. I’m really sick of stupid. #itsthegulfofmexico
