Half marathon no. 34 - 2025 Berkeley HM
Six days ago, I fell down some stairs and banged up my back pretty bad. God bless the EMT at mile 4 who took one quick look at my bruises and gave me well beyond the recommended amount of ibuprofen. Don’t think I would have finished today without it.

Signing up for the 2026 race while I’m waiting at the starting line for the 2025 race. Sigh. I guess there are more destructive addictions.

Update: It was the rain that blinked first. Chihuahua stubbornness remains undefeated. (As if there was ever any doubt.)

Got our first mailer for the June 2026 primary election today. This is going to be a long campaign season.

I’ve been hopped up on painkillers and propped up in an armchair all day after last night’s trip down the stairs. My biggest accomplishment today has been seeing Walter Koenig in an episode of Mannix.

Our daughter reports that our 10yo chihuahua didn’t appreciate having her nap interrupted for a walk and decided to just keep sleeping through it.

Much like toddlers, dogs do not understand the end of daylight saving time. They just know the sun is starting to go down and OMG WHERE THE HELL IS OUR DINNER?!?

This race in particular seems big for first-time half marathon runners. They’re all very excitedly taking selfies at the starting line.
This is my 33rd, so the excitement of the start line selfie isn’t exactly the same. But I’ll take one anyway.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Fantasia broadcast on tv. And here it is on basic cable on a random Saturday morning. What a time to be alive.

After nearly six years, it’s time for my beloved Jabra headset to cross the rainbow bridge. These got me through countless hours of Zoom meetings, but they’re finally falling apart to the point where I can’t mend them again. Goodbye, old friend.

The next time I think a 5 a.m. flight sounds like a good idea, I need to remember that means a 3 a.m. wake up time for a 3:30 a.m. Uber pickup. Decidedly less than good.

I hate coffee but I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t start a workday without one of these.
Probably works for me because it tastes like a milkshake that was maybe in the same room with a cup of coffee for a few minutes.
