It's days like today that make me glad I don't have anything hosted on AWS

Got a decent trail #run in today, felt pretty good. Has been a bit since I've been able to get out and run my own pace as most of my running time is spent coaching

This was the quote I shared with my athletes this last week. Very often when we start something it feels daunting. Keep going

Guess I forgot to tell Strava that I did eventually get a new pair of shoes.

Today is new laptop day! Going to be thinking about all what I should set up on it as it will be primarily for Software Development.

In life there are soo many things to be interested in. Balance occurs when you have a number of interests and no single one consumes you. Greatness rarely occurs unless you become committed or obsessed with one and stick with it for a long time.

I find this question interesting as I'll probably never PR again in life unless I find an obscure distance that I've not yet ran.
#RunChat Q1: What PR is most special to you?

This junk in my lungs has made #running this last week a bit rough but still felt good to get out this morning on the trails.

Anyone use a local AI with rag? Curious what's your favorite/preferred as I plan on setting something up that is more private/local

I'm currently listening to the book "Fire weather" and not really into it.

I need some book recommendations #booksky

Crater Lake a National Park with a pristine volcanic lake that has but one trail down to the actual lake that is crawling with people. 22 miles of shoreline and you can only access about 1/3 mile of it along with the horde.

The annoyance of a leaf blower outweighs any benefit that it performs. Thought while seeing this view and listening to a leaf blower.

The size of the redwoods is so difficult to capture on film. I find myself staring up into the sky to fully see them.
