I did it. I ran a leg of a relay in the Akron marathon on Saturday. It was super fun. There were 15,000 participants and the weather was perfect. Got to watch the first marathon winner run into Canal Park. Man, he was speedy. Definitely going to do it again next year.

Lucky people generate their own good fortune
via four basic principles. They are skilled at
creating and noticing chance opportunities,
make lucky decisions by listening to their
intuition, create self-fulfilling prohesies
via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient
attitude that transforms bad luck into good.

My cats are doing well. Neutrino is having some separation anxiety issues. He’s fine if I’m home the majority of the day or come home at least the expected time after work.
