Running

Didn’t manage to take a photo on actual Day 500 but here we are. 😅

Celebrating 500 days of running at least 1 mile a day. ♥️

The beauty of compounding. 

I learn so much from having a runstreak. 

When I’ve had the flexibility of time to do a lot of things based on how I feel, to have something to ground me and keep me going regardless of how I feel is such a gamechanger.

Today, I got to support my sister and her boyfriend finishing the Spartan Trifecta! They’ve done a 5km, 10km, and 21km race with 20-30 obstacles. Literally through blood, sweat, and lots of hard work. 

So proud of them and excited for their next race! 🥳

Last week at an event I got to hear Michael Dempsey from Compound talk about "in-distribution" (familiar) and "out-of distribution" (novel) ideas, and how AI plays into this. He wrote it up as an essay yesterday (with a great lede):

"The human condition is romantic. We tightly guard and appreciate the idea that we are all unique, each with our own novelty running through our veins and shooting out of each electrical charge from our neurons firing. We as humans are connected because we have both thought what others have thought and only think what no others have ever thought.

The concept of some form of heightened superintelligence threatens this. LLMs broadly take the collective thoughts of humanity and shine a mirror on those writing prompts, spitting out an answer that could lead to a given person learning that perhaps so many others have thought everything we have thought. And we will likely learn, that that's okay in some regards"

How novel are your thoughts? 

Such a fascinating read 👇🏻

Another day. Back in the heat of Asia. 🥵 

What’s with the new casting?

The streak continues.

Day 365 of my run streak! 

Never thought I’d be doing this for a year straight, and yet here we are with 3 races and 3 FKTs. Grateful that I get to do this. ♥️

Design

For people starting out and designing websites… what’s a good learning resource or tool?

Seattle

Day 353 

Those hills are no joke. 🫠 Also loving these island traverses. This is my 2nd and so far my longest run ever. It’s actually 12.2 miles don’t know why Strava didn’t register it all.

words

Because Past Lives still haunts me. Anyone with thoughts on it?

Philosophy

Found this fascinating. 

We’re faced with having to make loads of decisions everyday and some are definitely harder to make than others. 

Sometimes it boils down to deciding between who you are and who you want to be. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Books

I have absolutely adored these children’s books from Kobi Yamada. The philosophy behind it, the inspiring words, the concept, and illustrations are beautiful. 

Children’s books written as adult reminders ♥️ 

Highly recommend having these around your house.
