My Halloween costume this year captures my essence pretty well:

Ultimate Waaaaaaaaaaario
Been trying to balance my constant need for approval and validation with my role as a group organizer lately.

I think when I make leading my run club look effortlessly people don't realize the effort that it actually takes.

But also I shouldn't expect constant thank yous or external validation

15 min PR!!

I went from thinking that I may not even run this morning as I was so sick yesterday to cracking sub 3:30 (barely at 3:29).

Can't describe how proud I am right now.

Last night we had a huge showing for my run club.
It always brings me joy to realize that I have had a hand in creating a community for people. First with my meetup group and now with this running group.
(We were doing shoe decorating for our upcoming race)

Spider-Man essence captured in one page.

He'll get beat done and get to again.

I was today years old when I learned that Panda Express created orange chicken.

Get you a friend who will suggest an impromptu photo shoot so you can have a new dating profile picture..

Tonight's session:

"I'm going to try my project"

"Do you want to record it?"

"Nah, I'm not feeling strong, I doubt III get far"

And of course I finally finish it.
Took a really good lead fall during last night #leadclimbing session.

I been rewatching Happy Endings and it's insane how talented ElishaCuthberth is in it and how no one ever took advantage of her hilarious timing again.

New half marathon PR!

I'm now part of the 1:35 half marathon club. Fantastic motivator for my upcoming full in 3 weeks, I'm more confident in aiming for a 3:30 now.

And got to run out with great friends.

The Ultimates 18 may be my favorite comic of the year.

Speaks to the moment with all the lack of subtlety that is needed, but in a way that still had empathy.

And it never forgets it's a big superhero comic.

Taking a much needed Saturday in, so watching Kevin Smith The 4:30 Movie, since it's streaming on Pluto.

Seems pretty solid so far.

Been single for almost my entire life, and I made peace with it. I rather think about everything I do have (and lucky to do so) than dwell on that one thing.
That said I went to a wedding over the weekend and it hit me hard how much I still want that feeling and realistically I'll never have it.

One of my favorite pictures of me in a while.

Gives both "promo shot for a debuting late night show" and "cool principal at photo day" vibes.

Over the weekend I went out and became an ultra marathoner.

First 50k, under 5 hours and good enough to take 2nd place.

The heat was killer but the people were amazing. Every runner from 10k to 100k was grinding and encouraging and the volunteers kept pushing us.

Amazing experience.

Rewatched 40 Year Old Virgin.

I think it's even more relevant now?

The three friends all have toxic masculinity traits and are not happy, and it ends up being Andy, someone that is kind, respectful and thoughtful that has the best relationship and teaches them that.

I don't know if I'm the first one to think it, but Netflix should get Tango studios to make a #kpopdemonhunters game.

Hi-Fi Rush already shows they can do a game mixing music and action, so it's a perfect fit.

Scary moment last night, got a call from a friend telling me they were having a mental health struggle and were afraid of hurting themselves. Needed company.

Drove down and spent time with them. They thankfully seemed to do , we talked a lot.

Remember when Craig of the Creek did an end of Evangelion riff?

The story that Dan told on this week's Bombcast about his dad (who they just had on the Dump truck last week!) paints him like such a horrible person that I'm amazed they thought it was a good idea to leave it in

Been rewatching Cougar Town and it's genuinely underrated but man, Travis and Laurie ending together feels all sorts of wronh still.

Thursday night run.

Weather was almost 90s so I dialed it back and just listed to an audio book.

Anxious People is one of my favorite books but My Friends may top it.

I was tearing up already in the first chapters.

End of an era.

Been lurking/posting on the PA forums since the 2000s till now, long after I even stopped checking the strip.

It was a bastion of civility when compared to other forums of the era. A lot of my progressive evolution is because of stuff that would get discussed there.

Ultimates continues to be so fucking good.

I'm not perfect but I like to think I always been pretty accepting and inclusive.

I think it's bc I been the outcast and the bullied, so it formed empathy and not wanting others to feel that way.

Maybe we should teach bullying more. Just gotta tread the needle so they don't become chuds/incels.
