Welcome To JB’s FunStuff Site

Hi All!

Folks have asked me lately, “What June been up to?” or “How are you June?” … get it.. lol 😆 So with that here is the Mid June Update. Note that there wasn’t really another June update before this one sine I’ve been June a lot. <ok I’ll stop>, please don’t leave hahaha…

The start of June was a fun hike to Rose Peak and that was about it. I finished up the end of May with two half marathons. They were Brazen Nitro and San Jose Half Marathon events.

Here are a few pics from the last those events:

The next set of double half marathons will be in Tahoe with the Olympic Valley and Rock Tahoe combo 🙂 After that it will be another major combo challenge for me. It will be the first time I attempt a 50k (ITR Golden State) and then a half marathon (Precidio Half ). Should be a fun experience! 😉

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>
