My running goals for 2026:

1. State age group record in 10 mile on March 7th.
2. Qualify for Boston March 15th
3. get back under 140 pounds by summer, 130 by fall
4. 5k - sub 18
5. 10k - sub 37
6. Half (this one is crazy i know - but aim high fail high!) - sub 1:20
7. This should be one - but get my peak mileage weeks up to 85 (from 75) this year and no hero workouts that lead to injury.
8. ENJOY THE PROCESS!

What are yours?

Anthropic is playing games with usage limits. They've really accelerated in the last 48 hours. Burned 200 plan weekly usage in 24 hours running only one agent. I've been using Opus 4.8 in this same project running much more complex tasks the preceding two weeks and not hit limits until the last day typically - this time it took one full day. Anyone else?

@Brady_H Good luck this weekend Brady - you're going to kill it!

@MelindaHoward4 Are you getting soaked? I saw on the weather forecast you were supposed to get 10 inches or more today!

The torrential rain and lightning drove me indoors for my threshold run today and I must say, it was actually pretty enjoyable for a change!

You conveniently left out the part about Dario calling it a cyber weapon, dangerous for the very cornerstones of our society and, if jailbroken, could have catastrophic effects - that's the difference between it and the other models. You don't get to have both sides of the coin - either Dario was lying, or this is fully justified.

Well now that Ivermectin is having good results in areas like cancer, the mercenary medical complex is teaming up with media to attack again! The only thing Ivermectin is dangerous for are the wallets of those attacking it.

It rained today, then the sun came out and WOW - it was an outdoor steam sauna! I kept reminding myself, this is a gift - you get to do this! The dew point was 77 - I'm not sure, but I think that is the highest I've run in.

Rainy afternoon run. It felt so good - mid 70s and gentle rain.

Fable yanked, 4.8 nerfed - now rate limited!

[Michael @nomdk1]

@BradGroux They've been so bad the last 48 hours I finally just paused all three agents, updated docs, created handoffs and leaving them idle until an announcement this has been fixed or a new release

[Michael @nomdk1]

@gabrielchua Right now I'd be happy if it could just complete goals with the same ability it could 2 weeks ago. Stop nerfing...

[Michael @nomdk1]

@BHLevesque That's super cool. I coached Select (girls) for a decade for a club in Atlanta. Awesome memories.

The last hilly long run until mid July:

@thsottiaux Is GPT 5.6 coming out this week?

[Michael @nomdk1]

OPUS 4.8 has been significantly nerfed as well...

[Michael @nomdk1]

@MelindaHoward4 We're getting some rain and the temps dropped what feels like 20 degrees!

[Michael @nomdk1]

It was a good day :)

[Michael @nomdk1]

@AK_El_Jefe If I'm breathing I'm getting outside :)

[Michael @nomdk1]

@MelindaHoward4 Thanks - it was hot, but enjoyable as always. They have such a great running community there.

[Michael @nomdk1]

Good morning from the coast. It's race morning!

[Michael @nomdk1]

I started back running December of 2023 after a couple decades away and severe illness. Today makes the 3rd time running the Chevron Charity 5k in Pascagoula MS. It's always very hot and humid, but it has a great running community and I love it. My times have gotten quicker each year. The goal is 17 ish. I'm on track, but boy the minutes are hard fought the older you get!
