Thank you. I am fortunate to get this opportunity due to my friend Mark.

So, what's the BIG news I've been teasing?

I'll be running the 130th #BostonMarathon with my friend Mark as his guide runner.

I will also be considered an official finisher, which means I'll be able to complete my @wmmajors.bsky.social Six-Star Journey, too.

Tomorrow, I get to share this MAJOR news for the first-time in a public forum. I am chuffed to finally make this news public.

#StevenRuns #ItsMyTimeToRun

That form has now been completed and submitted. It's a freaking awesome feeling, but I am a tad anxious. I know I may not be chosen to be highlighted, but I am really hopeful that I get that opportunity because it's important to spotlight the who motivated me to run marathons. #ItsMyTimeToRun

There's nothing like starting on a form thinking you may face text and/or character limits only to see that doesn't apply. Man, I need to rephrase things so the submission flows better.

My top goal is to stay healthy and stay consistent. I don't have a race until late April, so no major goals for month. #RunChat

A white man wearing a white Hard Rock Café t-shirt that says, "Hard Rock Café / Tokyo" on the left chest pocket sits at a table with fried fish in front of him. Closest to the man is a Sea Dog (a piece of fried Alaskan pollock with tartar sauce and a slice of yellow American cheese) with an order of fish and chips closest to the camera.

Tonight for my #Lenten dinner, my wife Katie & I went to Wienerschnitzel. We each got a Sea Dog and split a large order of fish and chips. The pollock made the meal a bit different, but it was tasty. I'm certain we'll be back. #FridayFishFry

That's some very nice ALT text. Well done.

Is that chu-hai on the left or a different kind of seltzer drink?

Cheers to the beers my medal earned last week following the Hale 10K just outside of Manchester, England. #ThirstyThursday

I am certain that the visually impaired/blind racers chasing their 6-Star Journey appreciate seeing the ALT text. I hope it becomes more descriptive in the future. 👏

Hooray! I'm pleased to see a post with ALT text. I hope the comms team keeps it up through the rest of the year. #a11y

At what time does your comms team start adding ALT text to your images? #a11y

A white man wearing a black jacket and grey cap stands just in front of a white man with long purple hair that comes down to his shoulder. He is wearing a maroon hoodie that says "NEITHER" in the colors of the asexual group. Together they stand in front of a large tile map showing the route of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway.

There's a lot of reasons to travel, but it's always a bit more meaningful when you get to meet up with friends. I am glad that @barefoot-backpacker.com met me in Manchester last week as I pass through town. #TravelTuesday

I don't know squat about Baltimore geography, but I do love a good examination of perceptual regions.

Understandable, but that's what is great about cooking. We're all free to adjust to suit our tastes. I wouldn't use a whole clove of garlic or fresh rosemary and then remove. I'd used crushed garlic and rosemary seasonings and leave it in the dish.

Haha, my wife @travelingtvi.bsky.social has already liked this meal. Guess it means we should make it in the near future.

Are you gonna share a link to thr meal? Otherwise you're just taunting us.

I 100% understand that feeling. Committing to a goal/quest always brings extra fuel to the fire.

Nebraska Press has historically published a LOT of great books, especially those related to sports. Now's a great time to take advantage of a sale on their baseball books, especially if you're geeked about the upcoming World Baseball Classic.

Sounds like a bit of a trudge, but I understand what you're saying.

I haven't read up on Clay as much as I could, but he's a VERY intriguing figure. Does the book merit a read or pass for something else on his role in our republic?

Which biography did you read? There's so many out there about Clay.

My friend Mark & I completed the Hale 10K last weekend with me serving a his guide runner. #RunChat

A3: Some of my shoes have names, I've got a pair of Adidas shoes that are called "Cookie Monster" because they're bright blue! #RunChat

A2: Be prepared to change in ways you never imagined possible. #RunChat

1: I knew I was a runner when I finished running the length of Japan as part of a fitness challenge. #RunChat

Whenever @rsjon.es has a goal, we all know he gets to it. It's seriously amazing to see how quickly he gets things accomplished.

And how many weeks until you start using ALT text with your images? #a11y

I love Leslie Nielsen in the original trilogy. The jokes were better. Neeson seemed to be trying so hard to "BE" Nielsen.
