Strava also recorded a PR with time 3:25:52 -- this was ~6min reduction from my previous PR. As expected, mile-20 killed me with a long climb on the bridge: I strategically walked a few times and it paid off. Alphafly 3 served me well w/ no issues.

I'm pretty happy w/ the result: was expecting just under 3:30 with this EG (~800ft)! I'm now much closer to BQ time 3:20:00, and my next #marathon #race will be the crazy 220-laps around #UW #Drumheller in June -- hey but it's flat!

teach-in #KnowYourRights #abolishice #academicchatter #uw #seattle

A pile of flyers collected at a teach-in on “know your rights” for interactions with ICE and CBP, including a card in English and Chinese reading: I do not wish to speak with you, answer your questions,
or sign or hand you any documents based on my 5th Amendment rights under the United States Constitution.
I do not give you permission to enter my home based
on my 4th Amendment rights under the United States
Constitution unless you have a warrant to enter, signed
by a judge or magistrate with my name on it that you slide under the door.
I do not give you permission to search any of my belongings based on my 4th Amendment rights.
I choose to exercise my constitutional rights.
These cards are available to citizens and noncitizens alike.

My more-or-less annual image of the cherry trees on the quad on the University of Washington campus in Seattle. Always beautiful, and always nice to see so many people enjoying natural beauty.

"Family calls for release of woman legally in US for 50 years and now detainted by ICE"

Lewelyn has lived in the U.S. for 50 years. She’s a green card holder, a lab technician at UW Medicine, and a trusted pillar in her family. Now, she’s in ICE detention while trying to come home after visiting loved ones in the Philippines.

She’s part of our union family. And what’s happening to her could happen to any one of us.

We’re calling on UW to do better:
– Protect detained workers’ jobs
– Provide leave for immigration proceedings
– Educate all employees on their rights

✊🏽 Stand with Lewelyn. Stand with immigrant workers.
