Here we are all nice and respectable dressed up in our Easter clothes. I am pretty sure this was taken the same day as this one, later in the morning.

Oh this is fun! The weekly Mind The Gap challenge on The Daily Post blog is our opinion on Animated Gifs.
I love animated GIFs. I think they are silly and fun.
I used to be a critical jerk who thought gifs were tasteless
but I have since abandoned that part of myself and have embraced the fun, silly parts of the internet.
I would even call some of them works of art. .
Made By ABVH Memes and GIFs. GIFS and memes. It is all about GIFs and memes.
I love a good repackaging of pop culture.
I LOVE that they are a quick way to easily express oneself visually. For example, this is how I feel about the circumstances surrounding our recent presidential election.
I can live the rest of my life without seeing another dancing banana though.

Almost to the top! We finally hiked to the top of the Salmon River Trail today! It was 8 miles when all was said and done. My legs and feet hurt.
I did something completely different and carried along my digital camera. I had some interesting insights in which I came to the conclusion that film is far superior to digital. I think this, really, came about because I am not used to all of the choices involved in digital photography. I like to go completely manual when I shoot (for the most control over the shot) but there is so much to remember. So many buttons to push. It is irritating, frankly. It is too technical. I like that, with film, you only have to think about exposure (you don’t even have to worry about iso!). The rest of your brain can be used for composing the shot. And you aren’t distracted by the image because you have to wait to see the image.
I do like that I can shoot video with my digital camera, though. Here is a video that I took at the top of the hike, the turnaround point. There are fantastic views of the Salmon River Gorge which is virtually impossible to get to (a few kayakers have braved it). The wind was blowing too hard and I was afraid to get too close to the edge. You can hear me blathering on about something in the background but it is too windy to hear.

An instagram photo I took Wednesday morning during my run. I reached a milestone today! I ran 6 miles, the farthest I have ever run (not including Bloomsday). I thought I should mark this momentous occasion with a blog post.
I have fallen into a nice routine. I run at dawn on Wednesdays, which is a short-run day (3 miles). Fridays I run a little farther – around 4 miles. Sundays are my long running days; the day I work on distance. I’ve been adding 5 minutes each week to my longer runs (adding minutes works best for me, psychologically). Mondays I run 3 miles. Four days of running a week.
I have been debating whether I should keep going and train for a half marathon or if I should embrace the 10k and focus on some shorter races this year, focusing on a half marathon next year. Any runners out there have thoughts on this?
Finally, here is a really inspiring video that was shared on Facebook. Grab some Kleenex before you watch it.
