I went out of my comfort zone and tried to do a thing — but then got rejected. The de Young Museum had an open call for local artist submissions, and sadly, I was not one of the lucky 900 (out of 7,700 applicants) accepted to display their art pieces.

Regardless, I’m still proud of my work, and I’m willing to part with it if someone is interested.

I finally got to run in these babies today.

I was not looking for another pair of running shoes, but when you chat with an REI sales associate, casually ask about the additional 40% off select pairs of shoes, and he slaps a red sticker on the box for you, you cannot leave the store empty-handed.

As an aside, the runner’s high is a real thing. After who-knows-how-many attempts to *like* #running, I think it’s sticking this time.
