It'll be a cold day in hell before I hand the keys over to a robot. I'll use robot to answer pointed questions, run annoying calculations, and format my plans. It'll save me a tremendous amount of time, but I scrutinize tf out of its output and analysis. I don't like black boxes.

I've had this @timbuk2 courier bag for 30 years and not a single thing wrong with it. It's perfect. I don't know what the warranty is but it is totally unnecessary.
Mini hilo va:
Hace 12 años compré una funda #Thule para un MacBook Pro. Ponía que tenía una garantía de 20 años. Me reí en ese momento. 12 años después las cremalleras se han roto y la piel exterior desgastado:
I'm shifting down to the Jack Daniels 2Q 41-55mpw plan. I felt like a loser for downgrading since it injured me over several blocks. But w less mpw, I can run workouts harder. I was worried about the 80% zone2 rule, but I realize only 6-10 of workout miles are actually threshold.
@Dragotto this is what I've been debating. Surrounded by guys who have decades of miles on their legs and who can throw down 80-100 mpw. I'm still soft. Need to meet the challenge on my terms, not others. As an ambitious 45 yr old, I have to be as honest w myself as I can.
I assume this endurance runner form is state of the art. What am I looking at? Relaxed shoulders, high hand carriage, elbows bent <90°, compact swing, arms close to the chest... Is the old "hands at hip level" obsolete?
So it's not even dirty! filthy! nasty! anymore? Now we're just shorthanding it with 🤮 emojis? Just phoning it in...
I don't know how y'all do it. I had a tweet go "viral" today & it's a lot of anxiety. I've been so busy firing off replies that I didn't even have time to doom scroll. Happy to go back to anonymous mediocrity in a few hrs.

Most performative airport outfits:
- scrubs
- business clothes with Hokas
- Kiawah quarter zip, Auburn polo, braided belt
- Osprey backpacking pack and Hydroflask covered in National Park stickers
- graphic tee that just describes you ("big, black, beautiful")
- bedazzled "Mama" merch
- military uniform
As a lifelong hockey fan, I've never really thought much about Winnipeg. But fuck em. Bring Connor home. 🇺🇸
Connor Hellebuyck's suspension is set to be lifted Friday, but the belief is he'll continue to be kept away from the team while being paid, per @emilymkaplan 😳
At least three teams reportedly remain in the mix for Connor Hellebuyck, but there's no guarantee a trade takes place by Friday.
The problem I had was my new hobby's enthusiasm exceeded my body's capabilities. As a new runner, I followed many (incl @UltraRunner26) who accumulated mileage over yrs & built tolerance for grinding miles. I'm getting there but its taken time to learn, grow, & exploit my limits.
Suprèmes de volaille aux champignons (Chicken breasts w mushrooms & cream). Served w roasted asparagus & house-spiced yukon potatoes. I forgot I even had this cookbook! Elevated cooking. Simple ingredients, perfect technique. Bon appétit!
Album song curation & sequencing was an art. There was a flow - a rhythm - building you through an arc to great songs that mean something. You had to listen to the full album to find hits. Now no one has the attn span for an album to breathe so they frontload the best. Dying art.
I'll never do an Ironman bc my broke ass can't realistically compete with dentists who drop $40K on a bike crafted by spacex.
