I believe this might be the first time ever, or at least in the past two decades, that I’ve completed a 10k run (and also managed to run over an hour, which is unprecedented for me, especially without any interruptions).
The course had minimal elevation, and the weather was cold and slightly humid. However, I think the temperature at least helped me maintain my pace and push through. Once I completed the larger loop around the lake, I realized that I needed to push just a bit more to reach the 10k mark as well as the hour mark. So, I continued running.
Proud of myself for reaching this milestone. It wasn’t easy, but I made an effort to pace myself more and ensure that I could complete the longer distance and time.
Turnstile was already an all-time Baltimore band.
This year, though? The city’s veteran hardcore quintet was transcendent, reaching levels of rarified air reserved for acts that do more than simply release a great album — they shift culture.
First run for these next couple of weeks in the US.
Overall, quite happy about the performance, especially given that this was a longer run than usual .
Nice to see some bike lines that I could use however, being in the suburbs is definitely not ideal at with regards to running paths.
But if our childhoods were that wonderful, why didn’t Generation X replicate our own experiences for our children? Why did so many millions of free-range kids grow up to become helicopter parents?
🎵 Whenever September comes, I get into a crisp Fall mood and one of my little rituals is to listen to Springsteen & Prince endlessly. Can’t explain it, it just brings me joy!
Greater Paris is born, reconfiguring the city. (…) The east (…) [side] has risen, turning the banlieue from Pantin to Romainville into cool, desirable areas. (…) The action is no longer on the Seine River — it is on a 200-year-old canal, the Ourcq.
4th 5k workout this week, starting to feel good and get my routine down.
Glad my wife and daughter were able to join for a bit but the local stadium security guy asked them to leave cuz “too dangerous” for the toddler to run around in an unused area of the track 🤔
Also interesting to realize that The Browser Company decided to continue putting Arc up front on their website, despite their previous claim (in May) that they would discontinue Arc. It continues to receive bugfixes recently, it seems.
À propos of nothing, the latest updates to the Dia (AI) browser are making it a whole lot more usable now: more stable & reliable, compatibility with Passwords, better resources management.
Very enjoyable. I do wish you could plug your own AI, though.
Really excited for the start of #EuroBasket today! Our French National Team has some exciting young talent and some good potential to make a deep run in this competition! #AllezLesBleus
Fourth day of the week
Third (5k) run of the week
Ran uninterrupted / non-stop this time
First one with the new shoes — no soreness, super light, super comfortable, kept a good face in the entire time
…The study did not answer the question of why Americans were reading less. But the authors suggested some possible explanations, including **increased use of social media **and other technology, or more time spent at work because of economic pressure.
The decline in reading could have implications for Americans’ learning, relationships and overall well-being, the researchers said.
“Even though reading is often thought of as more of an individual activity, when we read stories, we actually form connections with characters”
John Wall’s speed, with or without the ball, registered as a whole other thing, something uncanny and exhilarating and miraculous. (…) John Wall was fast more or less the way Steph Curry is good at shooting three-pointers. (…)
…The sound of the team’s in-arena announcer’s drawn-out JOHHHHHNNNNN WALLLLLLL is the backing track to some of the most fun I ever had watching professional sports in person. Basketball as a whole, too, benefited from having in it a guy who, for a time anyway, could break games more or less the way the Road Runner broke Wile E. Coyote’s traps, by sprinting straight through them at the speed of sound.
Thank you John Wall, Washington Wizards and DC legend! His peak years with the Wiz were arguably the last time that the team was relevant, which is very sad to point out. We’re gonna need a jersey retirement ceremony and everything. Someone tell owner Ted Leonsis to get on it!
