Weekly Recap: Let's Address This

This week in review, I ran a half marathon (!), plus a new Dad Joke

I Ran A Half Marathon Today!

Our weekly recap is late this Saturday because I spent the morning running a half marathon. For those who know me outside of my human rights work, you know I’ve been an avid runner all my life. The last 6-7 years, however, have taken a hiatus due to a number of reasons (I’ll share another time). That’s why I am so grateful to have run today, and to have done even better than I expected. My finishing time was 1:26:24, which is 6:35 pace per mile. I finished 12th overall and won my age group (40-44).

Gratitude to my wife Ayesha for joining me at my races and being my unofficial photographer. 😊 Running is how I maintain my physical and mental health. It helps me stay centered, body, mind, and soul. And frankly, it’s a good way to channel the rage I feel when looking at the state of the world and the injustices we face.

Speaking of channeling the rage into something productive, let’s dive into our weekly recap!

Dad Joke of the Week

At a recent funeral I said to the widow, "Mind if a say a word?"

"Not at all,” she replied, “Please do."

I stood up and cleared my throat and said, "Comprehensive," and quietly sat down.

She responds in tears, "Thank you. That means everything."
