To kickoff the voting period we'll have chat on for a bit as we are simulcasting our pop-up to the video/chat channel. The community will announce more hangouts fo the week.
Another cloudy day with rain starting soon. I'm happy I got out for my walk before the rain, but I really wish we would have a sunny day.
Today will be a day of writing and chores, then reading and relaxing in the evening. Right now, though, I'm just sitting and sipping and scrolling. Grab a cup of coffee and #JoinIn.
Thread to share some #TrailRunning#ParkRun#Communities and #Charities that constitute the actual broad ranging “culture” and “scene” (🤮hate those words) of trail running in the US for ordinary masses of humans across countless cities and 50 states beyond just 2 elite niche races in the tiny towns of Auburn California and Silverton Colorado (👀 Western States & Hardrock) that people seem to think represent trail running in the US. #JoinIn

It was a gray, drizzly morning for my walk today, but it wasn't cold and I enjoyed walking in the rain. The rain is supposed to last all day, and I will stay indoors and dry for the rest of it.
In the last few days I've gotten most of the chores I needed to do done, and today I hope to spend all day writing. But first, I need some more coffee to get the brain cells working. Feel free to #joinIn and have a cup as well. #Today
