trick – or – treat! say hello to my new friend. we are hangin’ out on venice beach.

i have played competitive team sports my entire life. but over the past year or so, i have been discovering both the pain and pleasure of “competing against yourself.” so, i ran my first ever 5k saturday. i took a nap at 2:30am and woke up at 5:45am. drove to pasadena with my friend [...]
