Here’s another photo from our trip, of the strange and wonderful fruit on a “strawberry tree.”

The car decision has been made: within the week I will be picking up a brand new Nissan Versa. I’ll also be bidding a happy farewell to The Exploder.

I ran the Bolder Dash 5k race, back on September 22, and finished first in my division, with a time of 24:30! I beat my current PR by .01, so am slowly inching toward that 7:30 split goal. That said, I’m taking a short break from running, aside from an easy jog 1-2x a week. I’ll ramp the training back up again sometime this winter, to prepare for a 10k or 12k in the early summer-maybe the Boulder Bolder or the Sound to Narrows.
