Helped out a friend this weekend who was running a 200 mile(!) trail race. Ran 18 miles with her overnight and into the morning after a snowstorm came through.
What an amazing event to be a small part of. The grit and determination of all the runners was so inspiring

Fun LLM use case. Describing hallucinations seen after staying up all night during my 100 mile run
ChatGPT made this image which is darn close to what my brain was telling me
In reality, sunlight was hitting the char on a burned tree and reflecting iridescent light

If you haven’t run 100 miles without training for it, have you even lived? jk
Spent the weekend running the Mogollon Monster 100 in Arizona. It was beautiful and challenging. I was way undertrained and suffered. I also finished it.
Go out and do hard things

It’s a version where they take out parts of the story to make it shorter. The version I read took out maybe 100 pages. Still a long book, but one where you want more at the end.
If it is abridged, it usually says it on the title and publisher page

Spent the weekend at the Kettle 100. Paced a friend from 63 to 71, unsuccessfully tried to convince him to not quit. Saw the 16 year course record fall. Watched a few other friends finish. What a time.

3 different ways
1. Ask it to generate some UI component. It does the boilerplate, I tweak it manually
2. Tedious functions where it can write correct code based on name and parameters. Only time I use autocomplete
3. Asking architectural questions. I use this often. Image has a recent example

10 years ago today I ran my first ultramarathon, Ice Age 50 mile in Wisconsin. Tomorrow I will be going for my 9th finish there.
In the picture I’m saying I would never do that again. I have to learn to make better life choices

Wilderness Trail cask strength wheated. I’m really starting to enjoy cask strength bourbon. The flavor can’t be beat and perfect for sipping.
Someone at my company secured a couple of barrels and I got in on it. Cheers 🥃

Every year since 2017 I have run a 100 mile race. It has taken me to a lot of different places, both literally and figuratively. This year I’ll be heading to northern Arizona in September to do it again at the Mogollon Monster 100. Can’t wait.

Learning from my recent Claude chats ✨
My habit:
- Typing out my problem
- Using as much detail as I can
- Include examples
- Ask for a solution meeting criteria
How it ended:
- I should have solved problems like this before
- This is so fast ⚡
- Claude is my rubber duck 🦆
