portland part one

i'm actually in harrisburg, PA right now, all the following photos are from last weekend, but i have to tell you this first:

as i was going through security, a TSA guy admired my nike dunk high AC world cup netherlands shoes (big up, jayro). these things are basically safety cone orange and still bright as day since i've only had them one week... long story, short: the dude is blabbing about how he would've loved them in college, team colors were red, white, blue, he was the only one that wore all-red shoes...

i can not tell you how hard it was for me to keep from blurting out "that's cool, also, you're completely colorblind."

anywayzzzzz... P! D! X!























portland part 2...

hooked

the five previous posts were sent during the race. i thought they had been lost in the ether forever but they suddenly appeared today, hooray technology.

as the title of this post suggests, i am now rather keen on competitive running races. for more on these developments, we go to an excerpt from an email sent out to the team i ran with:

i had myself so psyched out about leg 20 that the experience of finally running it was nearly mystical. starting in pitch black, no one ahead, no one behind for at least the first mile - just the sound of my feet and the sight of the fog of my own breath in the headlight - gives one a moment to clear one's head... then, as the sun cracks the sky, turning up a gravel road and starting to make a few roadkills. finally, full sunlight, barreling downhill into the mayhem of the exchange point to pass it off to my little brother (i say "little," is anyone else blessed with two younger brothers nearly twice their size?). that was one run i will never forget.

it's goofy, but HTC was truly a life-changing experience, i'm pretty sure i'll be running in a marathon sooner rather than later. you may now click on the images below in order to view:
