Welcome To JB’s FunStuff Site

Hi All!

It’s Summertime!! 🎉The great thing is there’s plemty of daylight, but now it starts getting shorter so I need to be clever on how to maximize the availability 😉

Folks have asked me lately, “What June been up to?” or “How are you June?” … get it.. lol 😆 So with that here is the End of June Update. If you read the last mid-month update, you’ve already determined I’ve been June a lot. <ok I’ll stop>, please don’t leave hahaha….

Since the last update, another double header half marathon weekend was done and I’ve had a new *big* accomplishment when I was able to complete the ITR Golden State 50k on the 22nd and then complete the Guardsman Presidio Half Marathon on the 23rd. The 50k event was the third I’ve ever had participated in that specific distance. So now I can say I’ve done the 31-13 combo which is also a first. I was a tough combo but ready to keep things rollin.  Planing out a hike as I write this since the meetup got sidelined. Then completing the month with another half marathon.

Here are a few pics from the last pair of weekends four run events:

As usual, the list of upcoming events can be found on JB’s Fun tracker for 2026

If you haven’ t had a chance to look at the highlights have a look at  2025 Activities Highlight Video which is also available on Youtube!

There have been two new yearly highlight videos added to the Past Adventures and Yearly Highlights for 2016 and 2017. These are also on YouTube and will most likely be publish for open viewing (not that anyone would ever want to watch these things) <grin>
