Welcome To JBโ€™s FunStuff Site

Hi All!

Happy Fall Y’all and happy (R)October!!

And I kind resembled that remark on my last trail run lol! Berkeley 35k was completed with a few scrapes on the left arm and wound upside down like a turtle ๐Ÿข ๐Ÿ™‚
The 35k was followed by a 14 mile Ed Levin to Mission Peak hike and then the September 2025 Yosemite Hiking extravaganza! Which included 3 hikes that had an approximate 15k elevation gain combined!! Had to hold off on a couple events to do a quick recovery so I was all good when it came to ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„ MOO TIME!!! ๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„๐Ÿ„. And I was be in full COWstume!! ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฎ

Days are continuing to get shorter but still plenty of time in the day to get in some good 20+m distance!

The struggle with ongoing certain family members still remains an issue. More about that drama in a post I created to vent.

One thing is for certain, plansย  remain intact for the Portland Marathon coming up this weekend!
