Hi, My Name Is: Jake

Alright, square one. My name is Jake Dodge and I live in the wonderful Republic of Cascadia, that is Seattle. This is my home:


I am living my city life with a pair of cats that I picked up from the pound. They are great company, as you can see...

                              

We all reside across the street from the wonderful Magnuson Park. The city was bequeathed an old Naval airfield in the 1970s, hangers and all.   The city refrained from development and turned it into the second largest park in Seattle.  Its so awesome. This is where I do my community gardening, Sunday morning walking, bird watching, blackberry picking, apple harvesting, and as the name of this blog suggests...my running.  I have tracked hundreds of miles in the short 2 years thats I've lived here and I feel as if it's my own personal backyard.  













I have so much more to say, and I am sure I will scribble it down eventually. But, as I look outside and see a rare cloudbreak happening in what should be a drab November day in Seattle, I'm thinkin' it's time for a little sunshower. BOTTOMS UP!
