Not that its really news, but here's OMB saying that we should promote patronage relationships in Federal contracting and grants management.

I took this photo during my Sunday run. I love seeing the leaves change here in town and love having cooler weather for running.

The Stardew Valley RNG got me today.

One change isn't going to fix everything. Upzoning is necessary, but not sufficient, to build a future with lower private car use.

Olde Town Arvada only has a parking issue if you pretend that the RTD garage doesn't exist. There is plenty of parking, all of it is free. IMO, Arvada needs to get a clue about charging for street parking spaces to encourage folks to carpool or take transit.

My running progress for the year is not going as well as I had hoped. A week with a mean cold, another week with a minor sprain, and the return to office order have left me well behind my goal track.

And, with the start of bike commute season, I'll likely fall further behind.

Celebrate your victories...
... And your defeats.
Had a fun but unprofitable weekend at Ghengis Con.

Homemade pork ramen tonight.

I don't typically run in the evening, so this sunset was a real treat.

I'm slow on posting this, but I went for a run yesterday, on what is likely to be the coldest day of the year in Denver. The cold didn't bother me nearly as much as trying to push through the snow.

Updated running progress. I won't be running tomorrow due to the bitter cold temperatures expected tomorrow, so this will reflect my progress through this week.

Last year, I ran 1,980 miles. This year, I'm trying to run 2,000 miles. I'll be regularly posting updates on my website and periodically posting notes here. After 11 days, I'm about 5 miles ahead of schedule. Let's hope I can maintain that momentum. 🏃

My annual physical is later today, so I got up early to eat a big breakfast before fasting. Huevos Rancheros with brown rice and pinto beans.

Presents are wrapped and under the tree at our house.

Excuse me, how many degrees?

I have rewarded myself with some beans and brown rice with fried eggs for breakfast.

Before heading out for my run this morning, I started some brown rice, then topped it with some furikake, and fried eggs when I got back.

It's rainy today in Tokyo, so let's look back at the sunrise yesterday. I love the reflection I was able to get on the Asahi building.

Spent the day climbing the steps at Yamadera.

I feel like Sendai was looking extra nice today for my run.
November 16, 2024 at 12:24 AM
Early morning run in Sendai followed by a nature walk in Rairaikyo Gorge.

Some early morning shots from Kakunodate before the train whisks us off to Sendai.

Touring around the old manor houses of Kakunodate.

Departed Morioka today to head into the mountains of Akita Prefecture.
November 10, 2024 at 11:09 AM
I had a run in Morioka this morning down near the river, and later did some walking around the town.
