Action nerd, runner, knitter, dog-owner, and a professional geek. Democrat from DC (we should be the 51st State). Married to The Roomie (I didn't know what to call him when we moved in together). No DM's.
So I know I've been MIA, that's because I was in Portland doing a thing (half-marathon). Here I am not too far before hitting Sellwood and its many hills.
DAMN YOU AND YOUR HILLS SELLWOOD (though thank you to the residents, and Nixie the German Shepherd...y'all rock).
Oh and this is my SIL.

Oh yeah. She's mad at us now that she no longer gets three meals a day (she's aged up to two) and regressed slightly in house training out of spite (I have petty dogs). But she's just the sweetest thing who just wants love--and the comfy chair.

Lunchtime run and stretch today--without the run club (too warm for them, they got a quick walk).
Post run selfie during my cool down.

Why is the tiny puppy, who spent the week at doggy daycare, the beach, and playing with her brother, lounging and sighing like she’s been working so hard?

Hey DC Peeps, if you or someone you love is looking for a dog, let me introduce you to Baxter; I found this little guy Tuesday. While I couldn’t keep him (we have two dogs already) he is the sweetest boy. He will be available for adoption shortly at the SPCA Brandywine in NE. Spread the word!

Run with the cutest run club ever this morning. We went out late, and it was not a great run...but it's done. Followed by pilates. Now off to get a massage (and maybe a mani/pedi).

The Run Club in question. It's the little one who I had to sort of nudge over to keep from tripping on her. She's cute, but no spatial awareness!

3rd Grade in Honolulu HI. We arrived at school knowing that the accident had happened, and having seen it on the news, to see our teacher setting up the TV roller cart to watch the news and discussion. Just because you didn’t experience something, doesn’t mean that was universal…

I was able to tire them out on the run this morning. Of course, now I’m a pillow.
Weights later today.

I took two dogs for a run this morning, and one of them had her sassy pants on. She had to be put in air jail 4 times.
I present to you the dog in question, and her "innocent" big brother who egged her on.

Y'all. Look at what was uncovered during the asbestos abatement in our bedroom this week. Those are 105-year-old wood floors, I think still in good condition. I'm hoping we can refinsh them, rather than covering them back up.

Yes. They love the hotel life. The staff adores them, and they can get up on the bed.

Tread Bootcamp and leg day today. Plus walking around Annapolis. Which is great as I’m the lobby of the hotel with my siblings, eating cookies.
