it was good, i'm glad i went. shut down a couple of intersections along the way, rallied outside the police precinct and chanted at the cops. it was pretty well organized: lots of water and snacks, medics on hand walking around with sunscreen and hand sanitizer, bikers riding ahead to block traffic, no question about who was leading (except for the chanting/singing, which got a little discombobulated). the leaders all looked like kids to me (early 20s at oldest), which is cool.

left the run too late today. conditions were brutal in the afternoon: 97/36 air temp and 75/24 dew point, so i decided to wait until after painting. then that took longer than i expected, and now there's a thunderstorm coming that i'd rather not get caught out in. might could violate my normal principle of not making up missed workouts and just do the long run tomorrow. it's not gonna kill me.

brutal.

based on that video, you can 100% do a muscle up right now. i wouldn't do it on a ring, though, would probably hurt your ribs/sternum.

you should get this: 

i love having tattoos but i'm glad i waited so long to start getting them (was 29 when i got my first one). i think i'll go in for my third once covid calms down here. thought about getting it in london but the thing i want to get is super tied to where i grew up so seems more appropriate to get it done here.

What was your first one and what are you planning to get?

first one is on the inside of my left bicep: a representation of the folds in a paper airplane i learned to make in preschool. looks like an origami diagram, but rectangular. it's a reminder to play and be imaginative and open-minded, and to revere good teachers like the guy who taught me that particular way of making airplanes. second one is on my left ankle: five interlocking circles (around one axis, not like the olympic rings), which my brother and parents all got after my youngest brother died a couple years ago. it commemorates him and the fact that our family of five is no longer intact except in ourselves. both pretty simple geometric designs.

the third is going to be a cross-section of the bedrock underneath the neighborhood where i grew up and am sitting right now. it'll be based on one i found by the maryland geological survey, just grayscale/fine-line rather than colored.* only thing that's holding me back right now, other than covid, is deciding where to put it. it's between wrapping it around my right thigh, right-side ribs, or right bicep/forearm.
