I'm pretty sure this has very little to do with running a marathon. Let's get your trainer back in here. @Graybeard57 !!!
Thanks for the Deets, Chris! You’re really upping your game game now, buddy.

Shave #25 (1125 Open Blade Shaves) of 2025:
Gear: Tedalus Essence, Feather Pro Guard blade, JT Spartan Burl brush, CBL Fresh Vetiver soap, homemade witch hazel/aloe, Nivea Sensitive AS Balm, Lucky Tiger AS, and CdG Avignon to finish!
7 mile run this morning for the LA marathon training…a beautiful, partially cloudy, cool morning. We got paced by a pod of dolphins on the first leg of the run!
The good news is I can at least make it half way through the half marathon!
Did you know that through World Vision’s water program, a simple $50 donation helps one individual gain access to clean water? Someone who is not as fortunate as us, to have potable water just around every corner.
I’m 18% of the way to my goal of raising $2500 before race day in March. If $50 seems daunting…did you miss a coffee day this week? Consider donating the $5 it would have cost! Follow the link and thank you!

Welp, Monday. Lots of cold days this weekend and some ominous clouds but definitely not the rain we had been hoping for. Only got a spattering on Saturday. Not sure how they faired farther south near the fires. Definitely holding out for much more before the winter is out.

I hope all of California gets the rain it needs!
