Leg Day, Starring Me!

I bought Ericka this set of leggings with my face on them and was a little bit surprised she actually wore them out in public, but she is cool like that.

It got chilly later, so she wore my Misfits hoody too. Looking Good!

Power Walking in the Magic Kingdom

Participating in a Disney 10K was more than a test of speed; it was a tapestry of moments—some challenging, some comical. As I pushed through the run, fatigue crept in, making each step a struggle. I slowed down to catch my breath, but convinced myself that my pace was at least somewhat decent.

Then, as I turned a particular corner, a troupe of enthusiastic middle school cheerleaders awaited, to spur on the runners. Their presence initially boosted my spirits until their enthusiasm took an unforeseen turn. "Power walking! Yeah!" they roared as I shuffled past. Suddenly, I found myself labeled a “power walker” in the midst of a 10K. Talk about a reality check!

Ten Years Later

Revisiting the train tracks of San Bernardino in 2011.

San Bernardino tracks.

Surviving being hit by a moving train is an incredibly rare and dangerous experience that can result in serious injury or death. However, for those who do survive, there are several lessons that can be learned:
The importance of being aware of your surroundings: When near a train track, it's critical to be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to warning signals, signs, and barriers.
The consequences of taking risks: Attempting to cross a train track or trespassing on a train track can have serious and potentially deadly consequences. It's important to assess risks carefully and make safe choices.
The resilience of the human body: Surviving being hit by a train is a testament to the resilience of the human body. While it's important to avoid taking unnecessary risks, it's also important to remember that the human body can recover from injuries and traumas.
The value of life: Surviving a near-death experience can be a powerful reminder of the value of life and the importance of making the most of the time we have. It can inspire individuals to prioritize their goals and pursue their passions.
Overall, surviving being hit by a moving train is an incredibly dangerous and traumatic experience that should be avoided at all costs. However, for those who do survive, there can be important lessons to learn about safety, resilience, and the value of life. - Chatgpt
