Had this on my "to read" list for like 15 years. Really, I remember being curious about it back in undergrad. Casually mentioned it to a friend during a convo and he mailed me his old copy. I guess it's time now!

Last Wednesday run before District Running Collective winds down for the winter and it was great. Big up to me for locking tf in this fall and pulling up to the run 11 weeks in a row. Pushing myself and seeing progress.

Doesn't end there tho, got to get race ready this winter.

10 weeks in a row doing the Wednesday run with the District Running Collective! I'm gonna miss it when wraps up for the winter, getting ready for the half in April and it'll be some lonely winter runs.

Everything is disappointing but not the sky tho. Chevy Chase, Md.
An intense red horizon between two buildings as night falls in Maryland. There's an intersection below with cars waiting at a light. It is dusk.

A few from Jamaica. Old Harbor, St. Catherine, 2019. 🇯🇲
A road in Old Harbor, Jamaica. The road is empty, there is a car parked on the shoulder next to a long fence. On the right of the picture is a power line, with moss growing on the lines. There are trees in the background and the day is a bit cloudy. The southern coast of St. Catherine Parish in Jamaica. There are boats and fishermen on the rocky beach, and rolling mountains and sea in the background. A busy street in Old Harbor on a night in January 2019. Cars on the road and people around a cart with green bananas and fruits. There is a wall with a mural for a phone accessories shop. Sitting on the veranda of my uncle's house. Chairs and plants line the tile floor, with a parked SUV in the background. There's a gate enclosure for security.

Fifth week in a row I made it out to run with the District Running Collective. This one was dope. Paced myself well, tackled the hills with ease, and the last half-mile I went all out and sprinted to the finish and it felt great. If you're in NE DC on Wednesdays, come out.

Finally went to the Air and Space Museum out by Dulles before it closed for the shutdown and it's really, really cool, and it made me think of that skeet again
A bunch of planes in a massive hanger including the fucking Concorde! This is so cool bro.

Another Wed run with the District Running Collective. It poured rain right as the run began and then it got hella humid after, which went well with the hills we did. I was saying "fuck the frail shit" on repeat like a mantra for that last mile. I'm more sweat than man rn but we did it tho 🫡.

Slow morning, and thankful for that

One thing I can always count on is for the sky to show out. And I appreciate it. NE DC.
A sky at sunset. The clouds reflect orange and blue. There are a silhouette of trees to the left and lower right. A scraggly tree under orange red skies, positioned in front of solar panels. The sky is a bit cloudy. A large, mostly barren tree in a field, with solar panels in the background. There are solar panels in the background and flowers in the foreground.

A break for your mental. NE DC, from the last few days.
Blue skies over a house and backyard in NE DC. There is an old blue car parked next to a garage. We see the car from a low angle. Birds flying over power lines, under clouds. It is late afternoon and there are trees towards the bottom of the frame. The setting sun through trees and grass and shrubs of someone's front yard. Clouds amassing over a church with a spire in NE DC.
