I love to get outside: run, hike, and bike.
It started like any other #run this week, nice and mellow. But by the time I'd passed through the uni, my tits were getting chafed, and something about going topless opened up the throttle 🤷♂️ and then began the charge homeward.
Into the sunrise. To the holiday. To family! To glory everlasting!

I joked with my wife "I tried to run to 1996, but only made it to 2024". New memories are taking precedence in my mind and the city is no longer only a place I *have* been, but a place I am now in, too.

There were some fun murals I'd previously missed.

Good evening, Wednesday! I had a blast chasing a ½ Marathon in #Tucson today, but I had a strict finish time and couldn't make it fit. Downtown was great as ever. But I was most glad that I found myself enjoying the city without leaning on nostalgia, but just enjoying it (mostly) for what it is.

And so much color this week, too!

Goodnight, Friday! Dang-diggity, what a week! Tuesday was the last day of my infirmity, ending with a 2-miler in the field, followed by a sweet little coffeeball #ride in the fog Wednesday, a bike shop parts #run Thursday, and retracting my Wednesday steps on Friday.
I'm ready for a feast day!

Good morning, Sunday! Well, my hip, shoulder, and arm are all feeling much better today. Head and neck are still good, but those ribs are bad. So I stayed in and made another rest day rainbow with the help of my 8yo, up from a nightmare. Bad things happen, but the world is full of good things.

I'm ok, but sore. Thankfully, my helmet did its job perfectly (thank you, #SmithHelmets!) And my lovely partner was up early enough to come collect me and Stinger - turns out there's a bit too much deflection in that front wheel to retrue it 🙃

Good evening, Saturday! Well, shucks howdy today didn't go to plan. Started off nicely #biking through NoPo and the waterfront, but that darn unpainted curb jutting into my lane sure cut that short. This was my first time really going OTB, and it was a heck of an experience.

Good morning, Monday! Thank you for a grand romp through the #RoseCitypark neighborhood this morning!

Good morning, Saturday! Thanks for a nice #bikeride. The air was a cool 45⁰, but windless and dry, with a few whispery gaps in the clouds to reveal a glimpse of a star or the moon now and again. It was a lovely time to visit the waterfront and the Broadway and #Tillikum bridges.

How do you get a runner to hushup about #running? Give them a bike, apparently. I was so focused on cycling this week that I missed out thanking Wednesday and Friday for wonderful runs, focused on #MtTabor. Wednesday was also my 1st #halfmarathon since getting hurt in july

Thank you for the perfect storm of a break in the rain and the workday at the same time 😮 and for this lovely ##bikeride around NE #Portland. I was amazed to find a magical alley between Alberta and Wygant streets - for all the time I've been around there, I'd never noticed it before

Goodnight, Monday! Thank you for today's delights. A superb tour of NE Portland to wake me up and a scenic 10k before lunch were lovely. And the busker outside the grocer. How stoked he was to get my tip. How his joy spread to the people waiting for the light change.
Today was a good day.

Good morning, Sunday! It's been a busy week, and Im happy to take a rest day today. I wanted to share a rainbow of sights along the way this week's adventures. I so often think of autum as the return of the Gray Blanket, and was happily surprised by the rich diversity of color.

Thank you for a delightful coffeeball #run this morning, Wednesday! ❤️ Today, between last call and first shift, I crossed an interstate 2x, lapped a major hospital, skirted an industrial district, faced no danger, and the scariest thing I saw in #Portland were those inflatable baby vampires.

Good morning, Saturday! Thank you for a delightful ride 'round 'bout town! Kenton and Saint Johns were fabulous as ever, and downtown was peaceful and serene. About the scariest thing I faced in #Portland was taking this trip on these $20 no-name tires i got off Amazon.
And they did fine.

Good morning, Wednesday! Thankbyou for a perfect morning for a #longrun! Cool and clear with a brilliant half moon! It was super fun to meet up with my undead running group, the Spooksters, along my way to Coffeeball victory and glory this morning.
