I recently realized that it's been over 6 months since I shared anything here that isn't marathon/Ironman training-related, and now seems like a good a time as any to change that. I can't figure out if I've gotten more boring or just less prone to sharing boring things - or maybe both?
I grew up a 30-minute drive from the beach and even though I heard DC people say that the beach is a good 2.5-3 hours away, I don't think I ever really heard them until I moved here. That fact has been, to put it mildly, absolutely killing me in the summers. What do you mean I can't just pack up, get in my car and drive a few miles down the interstate until I hit the ocean?! It's just not right.
Fortunately, DC is not without some body of water! Ben and I recently discovered a newfound paddleboarding hobby bought an annual membership to a local paddleboard/kayak rental place so we can go whenever my innate need to be in water strikes. Bonus points for the fact that I can run there, and frequently do so on my long runs. It's not the beach, but it will do in between trips back home. And we've even gotten Bane in on the action!
June was Pride month and I swear that every single shop and restaurant that lines our street flew their flags for the entire month. Some are still up, actually. So much color and so much love literally everywhere I looked brought so much joy to my heart. I've only lived
I had a work meeting after work one night in June at DDOT, which is located adjacent to Nationals Park so, naturally, after the meeting my company took us out to a ballgame. It just so happened that my Braves were in town!
