A brief pause in politically-oriented postings to show my progress of the city I love to hate painting the skyline of. Still lots to go, but alas, it’s Sunday, and I’ve got to get everything ready for the week before the finale of Task starts.

What a beautiful night in Ward One to head with my spouse to the council member candidate forum. I’m all in on the candidate that actually lives here in this fabulous ward!

If the idea of running around Bde Maka Ska with friends in an “as competitive as you want it to be” exchange zone on Thomas Beach on a Friday night in July AND benefitting Minneapolis Parks Foundation sounds fun, check out Twilight Relays, twincituestwilightrelays.com

A special treat to hear Verna Volker of Native Women Run talk about community, running, and her work (interviewed by Olympian Carrie Tollefson). A heartwarming bonus that @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov introduced the pair (and dazzled us with her “running” jokes). #community #twincities #runsky

Slugger is my accountability partner for carving out some time to slow down and reap the rewards of existing. Picking Crossroads back up this morning, taking sips of coffee, and (most importantly) giving Slugger some slow loving pets as he snoozes by my side. #📚 #JoieDeVivre

Windom Park’s “Fire and Ice” community get-together. Was a balm to share s’mores with my neighbors last night. (And the wintry backdrop could not have been more fitting.) Public spaces ftw! #northeastminneapolis #minneapolis #community #publicparks

Community not despairing. Love seeing the rinks at Windom Park in Minneapolis abuzz (askate?) on crisp Sunday in the thick of winter.
