Rain totals across #LosAngeles as of this morning, from LAist: almost 3 inches in downtown, more than 4.5 in the Valley, and SIX AND A HALF INCHES in Santa Clarita
Weirdest, least satisfying life bird ever.

New half-marathon PR of 1:29:55 (and first place in a pretty small field) in the Better World Running Fatherβs Day event in Santa Monica
Shout-out to the woman who raced this in a powder blue track suit, absolutely iconic.

Saturday in Griffith Park with the #LosAngeles Frontrunnersβ¦ I think Iβm just about recovered from the marathon, ready for a new race
Barn swallows going to town over the campus lawns
Official photos dropped, and ... I've looked a lot worse mid-race, tbh
- Starting line in downtown Ojai at 6:00am
- Somewhere about mile 6, I think? Early enough I could mug for the camera
- Crossing the finish line, repping my running club (#LosAngeles Frontrunners) and @ASNAmNat

Dr. Nat Zappia, history professor and director of the CSUN Institute for Sustainability has passed away. My heart is so broken. He was a mentor to me. Always trying to get me more oppritunties to make some money and teach ecology. His passion for nature and indigenous folks rights was awe inspiring. If you are in Los Angeles, visit the G.A.R.D.E.N. on the north end of campus, an almost acre large space of fruits and vegetables and native plants. Honor that space for him. #losangeles #academia

KCRW, one of the two #NPR affiliates in the #LosAngeles area, announcing it "will no longer post on Twitter" ... apparently not even if the "state-affiliated media" tag gets removed from the NPR account
Today I contributed to the range expansion of Xylococcus bicolor, mission manzanita, by ~50 miles in the Los Angeles area. Image shoes me holding the leaves and the sprouting bud. #botany #plantecology #california #losangeles

Warm, sunny weather by recent standards, and I felt pretty good!

My evening #run took in two #LosAngeles landmarks and somehow, through the light pollution, a planetary conjunction
