The people of the Steem blockchain, I apologize for having been quiet for a while. I was busy traveling over the summer, training for a few races, revamping my personal website, and most recently having

July 4th this year, Daniel and I did not get to watch the fireworks by the Schuylkill with our Philly gang or bike independence route like we did last year. Nonetheless, the weekend was magical. It started

Another hike @dhimmel and I did after attending the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing in Hawai'i #PSB2019. This time, with some assistance, we climbed to the top of the highest volcano in the world, Mauna

The first thing @dhimmel and I did after attending a conference in Hawaii is hiking the Muliwai trail, which starts in Waipio and ends in Waimanu. On the second day, we extended the hike to Wai’ilikahi

Marathons are events of love. I was overwhelmed with the amount of love I got to absorb this past weekend. On Saturday, I got to see Haley twice on the half marathon route. She looked amazing and did amazing!

As much as it was a blast, being on the John Muir Trail (JMT) for 17 days was a challenge. Let me begin with this photo. @dhimmel took this on our second day when we just reached Subdome. I tried to smile

I have been following Brian Reynolds on instagram for a while now. He's a double amputee distance runner who attempted to break the 3 hour barrier at the Chicago marathon yesterday. Given his current PR

Right now, (well actually as of a few seconds ago,) it's 93 days, 12 hours, 17 minutes and 27 seconds until the Philadelphia marathon. As a math nerd, I can't help but look for a pattern among these digits

So @dhimmel and I participated in a 10K run. This is a preview trail run for the upcoming Philly Mayor's Cup. Starting at the Belmont Plateau, the race recruits hundreds of runners from all running clubs

Inspirited by @kirkins's wonderful gifs, I used the iPhone's Bounce feature to create this loop from a live photo with @uttonio when she and my other younger sister Ngoc visited me a few weeks back. Can
