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?

Do the skills learned from thousands of hours building passion projects with agents convert to enterprise solutions? 💯 they do. More importantly it brought a creative way of thinking to structured workflows and creative integration of internal resources.

@BasedBandita And all of them currently in office would be in prison.

@pradeepXkapoor one is a true reset that doesn't change your normal weekly reset time. the other isn't. one is appreciated, the other indifference....

[Michael @nomdk1]

@AnnettePsalm100 Hope it goes smoothly and quick for you.

Two of my biggest inspirations in the same spot this weekend. My father took 3rd this weekend in the 80+ at Masters National 5k Cross Country Championship and Rick Lee? Rick did what Rick does :)

[Michael @nomdk1]

Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon in Hunstville AL at John Hunt Park checking out the course for today's Masters National Cross Country 5k Championships with my father. He got lost on the course a couple times, and I eventually walked with him to get him fully oriented. He is like a wonderful child at 80. Grateful, kind and always curious. Being able to take care of him and enjoy him during this stage of life is a gift that words fail in conveying. That feeling of wanting to bottle a moment in time is strong, and the tightness in my chest and the catch in my throat as I write this poignant, know that like the beautiful foilage on the trees right now, this season will be gone all too soon.

I miss the battle for supremacy between OAI and Claude

@SimmonsBart The changes dont show up on election day. Three years from now, then you know the effects...

[Michael @nomdk1]

The way it feels being the only person on your team using agents across every surface, every lane, every moment at work:

[Michael @nomdk1]

Hot take: I've moved all my significant workflows and orchestration onto Opus 5.5 including when I use devin, I use it there too. It is the first time this year I'm using a single model across so many surfaces and lanes.

@morganlinton Lack of accuracy can be much more expensive that token cost.

[Michael @nomdk1]

After a week of muddling through the new job like it was 2018, I finally integrated my Claude and set up security. Now I can't stop working! Just over the weekend I was able to do what used to take months and cost a fortune. Superpowers!

[Michael @nomdk1]

@BHLevesque Who is that girl! Flying - huge congrats

[Michael @nomdk1]

It was a lot like that for me. It tapered naturally, now I look back realize I haven't had a drink since 2023. The last one was on Christmas day that year and I stopped to lose some weight and just never started again. It was never a decision to stop, I just realized how much better I felt over time.

In a hotly contested election in the US, one candidate wants to end unconditionally foreign spending, period. The position is that the countries we are sending it to have better education, healthcare and public services than the taxpayers in this country who are paying for it.

That candidate is being called radical by the "establishment".

Wake up America.

[Michael @nomdk1]

@BHLevesque @Brady_H I can pull it for you, dm me with exactly what you want (claude is more useful than gemini)

[Michael @nomdk1]

I literally have Codex sitting idle with 100 percent usage. Opus 5.5 is just that good.

[Michael @nomdk1]

@AnnettePsalm100 We can run together, lol. That's been the story of my season since late July.

[Michael @nomdk1]

My medical team for my issue includes Ortho, Spine and a doctor of PT. The Ortho guy listens to me, and has me doing PT, but wanted the spine guy "see" me. They're in the same practice. The spine guy immediately prescribed to medication, tried schedule injections AND a procedure. Instead, I went back to the PT with the MRI and medical records and am working through it with spinal decompression and PT. That approach is giving very good results without narcotics and cutting on my body. Doctors should literally be imprisoned for drug dealing and assault when they use us as an ATM rather than work with us to heal.

I had hip pain in the front crease flair Saturday doing a long run with friends. However the next day it was gone. It was just running a different pace that loaded it differently getting it sore towards the end. Lol, I'm realizing that as I get older I have to learn the language of what ails me!
