Went for a 15 mile run before work today, it's been a bit since I've not been coaching and got some vert in mid week. #trailrunning

We need to see this in the US, they are too addictive for us and should be kept form all kids, not just kids under 13. 16 or 18 should be norm

Strava seems to get a little worse every year. I had tried to create an App that used the Strava API at one point so I could track the progress of the team I coach but found the API too locked down. Now with the API fully removed I feel like the community deserves better #strava #stravasucks

That moment when you're just 11 minutes from finishing a book and thinking about buying the next one in the series...ugh #booksky

I've been using GitHub Copilot for months now and the cost is going to go up 4x starting on Monday. At the same time I've seen some of the open source costs get cut by 50%. The associated costs seem to vary wildly

I expect tech companies to be hit by a triple whammy in the coming months 1. Rising AI token costs. 2. The realization churning out more code doesn’t necessarily translate to business or customer value and is in fact worse in some cases. 3. Fewer employees to clean up the mess post-layoffs.

I've always found Crazy Horse to be pretty inspiring. To work your entire life on a project knowing you will not be the one who finishes it but to start anyway

When telling my dog to get into the tub to take a bath, he looks confused and doesn't understand. However when I tell him to get out as it's over his intelligence seems to soar and he quickly hops out...

The mornings are still cool in the high mountain desert. You feel alive when out on the #trail and that first morning light hits you #trailrunning

Going to slowly drop some pics and videos from my #joshuatree #trailrunning trip from last weekend as it's been cold this week in #utah and I wish I was back there #running

Had a lovely 36 mile run through Joshua Tree National Park and found out that you have to give this little guy a lot of room. The spines go in easier than they come out but oddly didn't hurt too bad.

Sitting here looking at graham crackers realizing they have less sugar in them than many cereals people eat for breakfast.

What are your favorite news (general, world or tech) sites that are on here. Just removed a couple from my feed and looking for others

A couple of bigger outings fell through last year and with most of my time spent coaching my longest run last year was only 13 miles. Went out for 14 this morning in the rain.

This hits as I get older and all PRs are long ago memories yet I still just like to run and coach the next generation

@intervals.icu curious does intervals have a view where I could all members on my team's weekly mileage over say a 4 month period as a graph? Strava clubs just doesn't work for this and I stumbled on intervals.icu when looking for a Strava API that would let me pull this and build myself

@aspire.dev with Aspire 13 can we finally debug into docker containers in dotnet or do those types of projects still have to be run outside of aspire? Just planning my 2026 and wanting to move more projects to Aspire but some only run in docker

I'm playing with #dotnet 10 and their file based apps so "dotnet run app.cs" and need debugging. I'm surprised it doesn't just work in VS 2026. What do you need to do to debug into a c# single file app either in #vscode or the real deal #vs2026 ?

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 #trailrunning #running #trailtime #comerunwithme

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

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. #trailrunning #skyrunning

I'm guessing this crowd is the same ones spreading measles currently in Utah

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.
