⚡Lego Flash⚡ made a new friend, Acadia. We paced her to a 25 minute marathon PR (3:55). It was a good time. Strange not to race a race, there are a lot of feelings to work through, but still a good time.

It's time for #TheAdventuresOfLegoFlash! In which our hero decides the best way to handle *gestures at this week* right now is to THRIVE and spite it. So here we are in Indianapolis, ready to tackle another marathon

I love this perspective, going to try to adopt it today

In this spirit, check out #TheAdventuresOfLegoFlash today!

Kamala Harris "we did it Joe" meme except on top of Harris is Lego Flash, a Lego mini figure of the superhero The Flash. Text above Lego Flash reads "We did it Lego Flash". Text below Lego Flash has 3:58 typed, crossed out, and replaced with 3:46, which is crossed out and replaced with 3:44, which is crossed out and replaced with 3:30. Together, this text reads "3:30. Marathon PR"

One of the highlights from this weekend.

If anyone is ever thinking about running Steamtown, WOULD RECOMMEND. It's an excellent race, very well done in every aspect! What a weekend!

Me with Lego Flash, a Lego mini figure of the superhero The Flash, and one of my closest friends from high school. I cannot BELIEVE we ran into each other here. The series of events that led to this meeting is so improbable, it's unreal. The kind of thing that happens in fiction, not real life

Went for a walk AND RAN INTO ONE OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS FROM HIGH SCHOOL, WHAT EVEN--

We also saw the unicameral building which was cool.
