Gotta love these "bike lanes" in Prague 🙄 wonder why they all run over pedestrians on the sidewalks instead 🤔

Thursday evening 7km, ending up in Strossmayerovo Náměstí. Shuffle hooked me up with a good set of tunes to keep the legs moving. #running #runsky #prague #music

Tuesday 10k in perfect weather and feeling great. I'm 100% ready for fall - just hoping it sticks around for more than a week or two this year. 😎🏃‍♂️💨

Was on a roll. Then new job stress and long days hit. Today felt almost like starting from scratch, but I got out there.

also, always good to see this in front of the Pooty embassy 🔥

Not feeling 100% today, but still managed 6.6km at a good pace. Shoulda pushed it for another .06km! 🏃‍♂️🤘🦇

Finished up with this great view from the Holešovice-Karlín bridge over the Vltava.

Knocking the midweek cobwebs off with an 8km run around P7 & P6. And a typically random #playlist to keep me going.

Saturday morning ~8.7km run. Bit of a rough one. Sausage, egg, and cheese sammich breakfast did me no favors. 🙄 Also thought I'd start sharing my playlists. What do you all listen to out there?

Found a near-perfect condition hardback copy of Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage on a used bookstore's website. Set me back only 59 CZK (under 2.50 USD), *and* it even came with the original stickers sheet shown in the second photo. Cats for scale/relevance.

Exhausting, outrageous times. But here's a good beer I had last weekend - What Are You Doing Here? - 6.8% NEIPA from Sibeeria Brewery in collab with Lancashire's Rivington Brewing Co. Enjoyed at Pivotéka Base Camp here in Prague 🍻

Instagram is dead. So be it. I do miss the arts community that used to exist there, though. Anyway here's a sketch. #drawing #art #sketchbook
