Somewhere in Marin with a descent into Muir Woods and beautiful views of Stinson Beach, I ran 30KM trail race and was 11th overall (out of ~77). Not bad for 53 year old--bring it you young folks.

I was experimenting some more with Claude and building web pages yesterday, I was happy with what I was able to create (note, I am not a web dev...at best I can muddle around with HTML/CSS/JS).
