“Running keeps me at a physical peak and sharpens my senses. It makes me touch and see and hear as if for the first time. Through it I get through the first barrier to true emotions, the lack of integration with the body. Into it I escape from the pettiness and triviality of everyday life. And, once inside,stop the daily pendulum perpetually oscillating between distraction and boredom...It is the swing from boredom to anxiety, from depression to worry, that exhausts and defeats us. The sure knowledge that we can be much more than we are frustrates us.”
- Dr. George Sheehan
@bnice21 Love this clip everytime! He had you dancing to his tune. Not sure if lowering your base lowering your base aggressively and avoiding that aggressive forward lean would of kept you grounded
“But if you build your identity on what stays true when you aren’t lucky, you get stronger over time.”
Found this line very fascinating. It entirely reframes how we think about identity. Most people anchor themselves to things that are fragile: success, status, talent, being the smartest in the room. All of those depend partly on circumstances going your way.
If you build yourself around how you respond when things go badly. Your integrity under pressure. Your ability to keep going without applause. The values you hold even when it costs you something. These are more durable.
There’s also a silent paradox in it: the people who seem the most unshakeable often got that way not despite hardship, but through it. Every time luck ran out and they still showed up as themselves, that identity got a little more solid.
It’s almost the opposite of how most self-improvement advice works which tends to focus on optimizing outcomes.
In a sense it’s about optimizing for who you are when outcomes fail you.

And somewhere in the distance, a fellow human defecating in the midst of it all.

Next week, this will also be true.
Next month, this will be true.
Next year, it will be true.

🍚 So I switched away from Optimum Nutrition's creatine because they oddly stopped using Creapure creatine and on Amazon they say they are kinda trying to hide that they stopped using Creapure and everyone's asking "why???" (probably it was too expensive)
But creatine should be expensive for your safety:
Creapure is the premium, highly pure and highly tested (!) brand of creatine monohydrate produced in Germany by AlzChem Trostberg GmbH, it's a supplier so you can't buy directly from them, but you can search Creapure creatine and if a product has their logo, it's good (they come down at anyone trying to use their logo falsely of course)
A lot of creatine supplements these days have contaminants as they're from China and may contain trace heavy metals (mercury especially), residual amine byproducts/thiourea derivatives, or dimethyl sulphate residue which all cause neurological issues, I was getting headaches recently and I never have headaches so I switched to Creapure just to be safe
Being from China is fine btw, it's just that then you don't know if it's tested, Creapure's entire thing is they test rigorously and professional athletes use it because they have to pass doping tests so they can't risk getting contaminated supplements!
This one is called "Dymatize Creatine Monohydrate Unflavoured Powder"
Unaffiliated, I just like the creatine!
spent the weekend dogfooding the most downloaded dataset on Hugging Face through @AseryxHQ’s data quality appraisal.
whoever’s training on it, I genuinely hope you never release anything. Out of love for humanity.
It’s dogsh*t!
