here's to opening and upward

I ran 5 miles today because if RBG could live till 87 and battle cancer four times and continue to work from her hospital bed, I could run even if it was hard. I had a small panic attack in the middle of the run - I felt my anxiety and fear creep into my breath and it got hard to breathe, but I calmed myself and kept moving.

Tonight I wrote letters to voters. I will do it tomorrow. I will do more tomorrow. I’m not going to stop fighting because GOD DAMN IT I will do what I can with what I have control over.

Haven’t posted something personal since February (the before times.)

This is me from today. Living in the Bay Area, the smoke is really bad, so going outside for any exercise isn’t an option :( I was just (this week) getting my running momentum back, too, but I am grateful we are safe. Having an apartment w/out AC and not being able to open the windows is tough, but we’ll be ok.
