Completed a beautiful 8.6 mile hike from Oceano to Pismo Beach and back.
Also officially hit 50 miles of hiking since I started getting outdoors. Excited to see that number continue to grow.

Running Man was a blast to watch.
I thought it hit the right mix of elements from King’s book and the 1987 film.
Also appreciated a couple fun King universe Easter eggs in the movie as well.
