Collage The Dream by @calvinklein
I cut out the face and then this sat on my desk for a few weeks. Finished the piece late on Halloween after watching The Nightmare Before Christmas con mi reina https://curtisbergesen.com

Welcome Spring!
April 2023
It’s finally Springtime. Yay! Spring means the trees are budding, the flowers are blooming and the temps are getting milder. Morning races may start off cool, but it doesn’t take long to warm up. We didn’t really have a long, hard winter in north Georgia overall but we had lots of very cold weekend race mornings over the winter months. I mean VERY cold, like freezing single-digit temperatures. I’m definitely ready for those mornings to be over!
Hopefully these cold mornings are behind us for good while! Surf & Sun 5k. 2/4/23
I was only able to participate in two races in March: Five Star’s Grab Your Squad 5k at Rock Creek Park in Dawsonville and Lucky 5k at Etowah River Park in Canton. I had planned to do a few others but my right knee had other plans. I had to take a couple of weeks off so I missed the Cookie Chase 5k in Dawsonville. I still went with my husband and took on the role of race supporter and volunteer. Gotta say, it felt weird to be in “street clothes” and just watching. I did enjoy taking photos of the racers and being a cheerleader however. The fact is participating in road races is so much a part of my life that even if I can’t run the race, I still want to be there.
My knee has enjoyed the extra pampering and time off and hopefully will be ready for the Road to the Final Four Miler on April 1st. This is a really fun race that offers 3 race options: a 4k, a 4-miler or a combined Shoot the Hoop Challenge. I’m playing it safe and opting for the 4k, which is a whopping 2.49 miles. I think I can handle that!
Spring is the perfect time for races and Five Star has lots to offer in April, in addition to the Road to the Final Four Miler on Saturday, April 1st:
Sunday, April 2, Hop Into Spring 5k, Kennesaw
Saturday, April 15, Ryan’s Firepower 5k, Dawsonville
Saturday, April 22, Run Through the Decades 6K/7K/8K/Half, Sugar Hill
Sunday, April 30, Walking on Sunshine 5K, Canton
Hope to see you out on a course this Spring!
Happy Running!
Kerry
Grab Your Squad 5k. 3/04/23
Lucky 5k. 3/11/23
I was cheerleader and volunteer only on this one. Cookie Chase 5k. 3/19/23

A Garden Fit for an Aristocrat. ⠀ ⠀ In 1819, John Porter erected a mansion on Meridian Hill. The site was called Meridian Hill because it was on the exact longitude of the original District of Columbia milestone marker, placed on April 15, 1791. In 1829, the mansion became departing President John Quincy Adams' home. After its conversion to a public park, Union troops encamped on the grounds during the Civil War.⠀ ⠀ The U.S. government purchased the grounds in 1910. Landscape architects George Burnap and Horace Peaslee planned an Italian style garden. The structures made revolutionary use of concrete aggregate as a building material. [NPS.gov] The Site is now an extension in Rock Creek Park. ⠀ ⠀ 📍: Meridian Hill Park⠀ 📅 : September 2019⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #nationalparkgeek #IBrakeForBrownSigns #smallparksrock #rockcreekpark⠀ #findyoursteve (at Meridan Hill (Malcom X) Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2xQ3pPAW0j/?igshid=x3mboph2u54q

Memorial Day Weekend Part 1
May 29, 2022
Weather
Sunday was NICE! The morning started off in the 80s but stepping outside didn’t feel like a chore. The air was cool even though the sun was shining.
Rolling around the DMV
The festivities were beginning in my neighborhood and people were doing the right thing by loading up their ATVs to ride on trails. I495 / I95 were a mess! There was high volume, and I was under the impression most people had already arrived at their destination, but I was wrong.
Destination Rock Creek Park
Alas, we arrived! As soon as we mounted our bikes and went down the first hill, a car was behind me and my visor flew off as I was trying to keep speed (yes, I know I should’ve worn a helmet, but rigid headgear isn’t a part of my wardrobe given my current hairstyle. For now, I’m wearing cycling caps and a visor. So, my visor flies off and I hit the first left which is an even steeper decline, hit a U-turn and come out of the saddle quickly to return to my crisp white visor that probably has tire tracks at this point. I’m only out of the saddle for about 20 seconds and my legs are tired when I land back on the saddle...
Revelation
I’ve been thinking about the differences in the areas where I cycle, and I think I’ve figured out why I cannot ride at least 15 miles at Rock Creek. This area, compared to my Bladensburg route (heading to the Douglas Bridge and Audi Field) contains more hills. I can ride and come out of the saddle on the hills and as soon as I sit back on the saddle my legs feel fatigued. I may be able to attribute this “fatigue” to back-to-back cycling days.
The odd thing is that while the fatigue is noticeable, it doesn’t prevent me from coming out of the saddle later on during the ride.
Overall, I’m glad it’s riding weather again.

Today is officially the first day of spring ✨
Thought of sharing this poem from last year, when spring came, the world went into lockdown and Rock Creek Park became my best friend. 💕
