It's almost bedtime for me, as the Valencia Marathon will be underway in less than 11 hours. I've got some big goals, but admit that I'm not sure how things may turn out given the weather conditions. Regardless, I'm going to do my best to race smart and finish strong. #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun

Exploring Toledo, Spain, yesterday was a wonderful treat. I walked way more than I expected, even knowing that I'd walk a lot. The contratto between past and present was very intriguing to see. #StevenExploresSpain
A bronze statue of Migel Cervantes holding a book in his left hand with his right hand on his hip. An immaculately decorative column in the Toledo Cathedral. There are carvings of various saints and other Christian religious figures. At the top is a skylight with a painted scene that is equally impressive. A wooden stand selling spiced wine, known as glühwein, at a small Christmas market in Toledo, Spain.

Today's run through a dog-safe neighborhood was really enjoyable, as I found more than a few Halloween scenes. #StevenRuns #StevenExploresLBK #RunChat
View of two creep female dolls sitting on swings in a tree in front of a house. The dolls resemble Annabelle from the eponymous movie. A mock construction scene with workers in safety vests that are plastic skeletons. On the right side, one holds a sign that says, "Nightmare on 19th Street."

I have a TON of baseball programs from the games I've attended over the years. I am sadly discarding them, but thoroughly enjoying the walk down memory lane with some of my finds.
Page 87 of the 1994 Cincinnati Reds Yearbook. It lists all six of the team's Minor League Baseball affiliates with photos of their home ballparks. First row: Indianapolis Indians at Owen J. Bush Stadium and Chattanooga Lookouts at Engel Stadium. Second row: Winston-Salem Spirits at Ernie Shore Field and Charleston (WV) Wheelers at Walt Powell Park. Third row: Billings Mustangs at Cobb Field and Princeton (WV) Reds at Hunnicutt Field.

Everything came up Millhouse on my run this morning. #RunChat #StevenRuns
An intersection with a stop sign and two roads signs above it. The road signs say: Millhouse Run and Millhouse Landing. There is a house in the background with some large trees, too.

A reminder for the @therunchat.com family that we need to listen to our bodies during hot days and walk as needed. #RunChat

On my run today, I got to pass by this lovely personal garden that was overflowing with sunflowers. #StevenRuns #StevenRunsLBK #RunChat

The sky is the limit!

#StevenRuns #StevenRunsLBK
A power box on a pedestal with a mural painted on it. The mural has broad stripes of yellow, red, light purple, and black. Text says "the sky is the limit" in the yellow stripe with a yellow sun on the red stripe and black bison on the light purple stripe. Immediately behind the power box are some tree leaves. A red plot of land sits behind it with some rundown houses in the distance.

You can always find something new, even when walking around a town, you know well. #StevenExploresTulsa #VisitTulsa #TravelOK
A red-brick building with a mural on the side. The mural says, "Living on Tulsa Time." The mural features a lot of bright, vibrant colors with a microphone, a paint brush, and a movie camera.

Running every street in Lubbock means I get to see cool things like Buddy & Maria Elena Holly Plaza. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to stop and explore the site. #StevenRuns #StevenRunsLBK
A metal sign in front of a metal fence says, "Buddy and Maria Elena Holly Plaza." Behind the fence is a stone monument with a bronze statue of musician and Lubbock, Texas-native Buddy Holly.

In honor of #NationalDiveBarDay, @travelingtvi.bsky.social & I hit up Robbins Nest in Lubbock, TX. It was perfect and got even better when I found out they served Malört, so we did a Texas Handshake! #StevenExploresLBK
A wrought iron fence in front of a few steps with signage that says, "Robbins Nest." The building is made of red brick with a res, metal roof. View behind a bar with multiple bottles of liquor, including an infamous bottle of Jeppson’s Malört. A shot glass with Jeppson’s Malört sits next to a bottle of Lone Star Beer. Both sit on a white cocktail napkin with a bar counter top in the background full of liquor bottles whole a set of metal tubs of iced bottles of beer are in the foreground.

Today, I logged my first official run as a resident of Lubbock, TX. I got 5 miles in the books and completed 2 streets in my quest to run every street in town. #StevenRuns #StevenRunsLBK
A large stone sign with an interlocking set of T's above text that says, "Texas Tech University." There are some trees in the background. A quartet of colorful stick-figure, metal statues. From left to right, they are red, turquoise, pink, and yellow. Each is playing a different musical instrument (left to right: they are a stand-up bass, singing, a guitar, and a fiddle).

I officially checked off 4 streets today. I chose not to complete one street because of signage that let me know OSM needed some corrections. #StevenRuns #RunChat
A large maroon sign in front of an open gate says, "This site is property of the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. All areas restricted to the public. Etc." To the left is a gravel road surrounded by some tall grasses with a bright sun beaming down overhead.

I found some tiger lilies during my run today. They're a pretty popular option in the area because I found them by multiple houses. #FridayFlowers #StevenRuns #RunChat

Did you know #Superman was created in @thisiscle.bsky.social and welcomes you at the airport?! #WanderlustWednesday
A display showing Superman-related items along with a statue of the iconic character. Behind him, it says, "Welcome to Cleveland - where the legend began." There is a skyline with air bubbles noting important connections to the city. To the left is a black-and-white TV showing the TV show.

#TravelTuesday is brought to you by a view from my flight between #ORD and #LNK. It was a rather uneventful flight, so I enjoyed the landscape. #StevenExploresTheMidwest
A mostly green landscape with multiple perpendicular roads as seen from an airplane. In fact, a wing of a CRJ 200 is visible on the right side. The view is somewhere over the Midwestern United States, west of Chicago.

Every damn time I register for a marathon, this though goes through my mind.

#MondayMotivation #StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun
A sign on a brick building says, "Become someone no one thought you could be. NOT EVEN YOU." The sign is yellow text on a green background. Beneath the sign is a black, metal mailbox.

Today's run in Downtown Cleveland was outstanding. The temperature was fantastic, and I got to pass by some beautiful public buildings. #StevenRuns #ThisIsCLE
A tall skyscraper towers over a square with a fountain in the center. Flags fly at half mast atop a neo-Classical building that is the Cuyahoga County Courthouse. Flags fly at half mast over a Neo-Classical building that is the Cleveland City Hall.

Today, I ran 3 easy miles as part of Shoes & Brews at a local brewery. I ran in a demo pair of Brooks Ghost 17s. I enjoyed a pale ale with carnitas nachos afterward. #StevenRuns #RunChat
A gravel trail with grass on either side underneath a blue sky with a few clouds. In the distance you can see a few other runners. A Styrofoam container of carnitas nachos sitting on a bar top with a line of beer taps in the background. A full beer glass sitting on a bar top with glassware and various liquors in the background.

Cheers to starting Year 8 of marriage to @travelingtvi.bsky.social with a delicious local craft beer. #TeamEricson #TeamBeerPros #SparklyHearts
Two beer glasses full of a delicious barrel-aged stout flank a pair of beer cans that say, "Year 8." In front of the glasses are a male and female hand wearing wedding bands.

I didn't run as far as I hoped or initially planned today, but I did conclude my run by seeing not one, but TWO bunnies this morning. The second rabbit was behind me, as I snapped this photo. Both were a bit startled by me, although I tried to assure them that things were OK. #StevenRuns #RunChat
A small rabbit sits in some green grass as view between a brown, metal fence. In the background is some bright sun on the concrete of the street.

Last week, @travelingtvi.bsky.social & I took a road trip to Fargo, ND, and played the license plate game each way. On the way north, we saw 17 states plus 3 Canadian provinces (MB, ON, and SK). On the way home, we saw 21 states plus 1 Canadian province (SK). #WanderlustWednesday

Today, I logged 3 easy miles for my first run since my races last weekend. As usual, I found something to brighten my day. #StevenRuns #RunChat #HappyEaster
A chalk text drawing that says, "Happy Easter." The image also features a few colorful Easter eggs on the edges of the text. The text is written in different colors.
