I’ve been going the distance with this running habit the last 6 months and checked the scale! Post run I measured at 179lb! Earlier in April I was peaking 195lb with all that Haagen Daz Green Tea ice cream 😋😂 I still enjoy my treats honestly.

I feel like the NBA season is going to be a wild toss on who makes it to the finals next year because players are moving. It's getting really, really interesting and I've never been more excited for the game of basketball.
I'm behind on my duties here. But, I'm very excited to hit the road next month! Being behind the wheel has always been the place I've felt most comfortable.

Dialing into training for the next 15 weeks for a 10K race. Might be overkill but I’m enjoying the process. As a side note, due to all the training, I lost 10 pounds in two months. Didn’t go on any special diet so it probably could have been more 🤷🏽♂️. Overall, let’s get it.

Time to tackle the intimidating feature of VS Code: Debugging functionality. The debugging lesson for Ruby in The Odin Project is something I may go back to every now and then and actually go bit deeper in the additional resources section.
The Mexico vs England game tonight was a rollercoaster of emotions. Honestly superb defending being down a man.
Set out a goal 9 weeks ago to hit a 5K under 30 minutes, and I fucking did it! LFG!! But, I want to push myself, so, shooting for a 10K in 12+ weeks, and eventually, a marathon in 2027.

There is something unique about the Ruby community especially as of this year. Seems to be a resurgence/growth spurt on conferences and meetups, or maybe I just haven’t been paying attention. Can’t wait to meet folks in the Ruby world IRL at RubyConf!!
