The "we did it Joe" meme but modified. A picture of Lego Flash, a Lego mini figure of the superhero The Flash, is on top of Kamala Harris. Text on top of the image reads "we did it Lego Flash". Text on the bottom of the image has 3:58 crossed out with 3:46 written on top of it. 3:46 is now crossed out with 3:44 written on top of it. Final text reads 3:44. Marathon PR

Full race report coming later, but suffice it to say, Lincoln was an EXCELLENT experience, I will be speaking highly of this race to friends

Then it was off to the expo! A fun time where a very nice lady told ⚡Lego Flash⚡there would be a lot of crowd support on the hills on course. Very sweet, I didn't want to be an ass who said I run up mountains for fun

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

Lego Flash, a Lego mini figure of the superhero The Flash, with the unicameral building. It's a big square base with a tower sticking up out of the middle

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

My mind is beyond boggled. I cannot BELIEVE this happened. What are the ODDS?!

We also saw the unicameral building which was cool.

Lego Flash, a Lego mini figure of the superhero The Flash, with 6 little buns about the same size as him filled with cheese? Made with cheese, at least. There's a Brazilian toothpick flag sticking out of one of the buns

⚡Lego Flash⚡ is enjoying some pão de queijo, aka Brazilian cheese buns. The pizza oven is broken and this place is out of tofu, so this was basically the only thing on the menu to eat. It was tasty.
