The river was frozen for a few weeks this winter (somehow I even saw folks ice fishing at one point) but melted away again pretty fast. NOAA is saying now it’s probably not going to freeze again this year. Wow.

Pinellas County - Easy: 3.13 miles, 00:08:27 average pace, 00:26:24 duration
felt crazy relaxed and easy breathing. i did notice at around the mile and a half point (11:30 in?) my HR jumped. around this time i also noticed i had to switch to more mouth breathing because my nose was running. going to try to take note of this because if it is a fault on the watch side then i can not consider it a reliable measurement.

St Petersburg Distance Classic Marathon: 26.41 miles, 00:11:23 average pace, 05:00:39 duration
first marathon down. everything that could go wrong did. honestly i am just proud i did not quit. now i have to look at the run and figure out what i can tweak or add to my training. had a cramp start in my right quad at around mile 15. then around mile 18 both of my calves started to feel odd as if someone was lightly strumming my tendons. then they seized! this continued for the remainder of the marathon where i would walk then try to run and then stop when i had to. then during the entirety of the pace my nose would not stop dripping making it difficult to breathe. ha! also my shorts almost came down twice and i had to re-tie them while carrying my handheld water in my teeth. seriously, so many things i did not expect and had not happened in any previous runs.

really happy to be able to eat spicy food and have some alcoholic beverages again though!

@prologic@twtxt.net ahhh! Its the dark reader plugin breaking the page.

Twtxt spec enhancement proposal thread 🧵

Adding attributes to individual twts similar to adding feed attributes in the heading comments.

https://git.mills.io/yarnsocial/go-lextwt/pulls/17

The basic use case would be for multilingual feeds where there is a default language and some twts will be written a different language.

As seen in the wild: https://eapl.mx/twtxt.txt

The attributes are formatted as [key=value]

They can show up in the twt anywhere it is not enclosed by another element such as codeblock or part of a markdown link.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk this makes sense as a quote twt that references a direct URL. If we go back to how it developed on twitter originally it was RT @nick: original text because it contained the original text the twitter algorithm would boost that text into trending.

i like the format (#hash) @<nick url> > "Quoted text"\nThen a comment
as it preserves the human read able. and has the hash for linking to the yarn. The comment part could be optional for just boosting the twt.

The only issue i think i would have would be that that yarn could then become a mess of repeated quotes. Unless the client knows to interpret them as multiple users have reposted/boosted the thread.

The format is also how iphone does reactions to SMS messages with +number liked: original SMS

Pinellas County - Long Run: 17.80 miles, 00:08:57 average pace, 02:39:13 duration
practiced a marathon pacing strategy (simulated) of 5km/10mi/10mi/5km. went pretty well even though i was going faster than the paces at each step. but overall i felt good. also scouted out one of the two overpasses i will have to climb during the race. definitely nothing compared to the regular ones. freezing! started at 33F and ended at 45F. pretty lonely out there because the cold kept everyone inside.

Pinellas County - 90’ (part I): 4.53 miles, 00:08:41 average pace, 00:39:21 duration
whoa this run felt great. seemed very fun effort while the heart rate was relatively low with a nice pace. it was very cold out, 42F with a wind chill of 38F, but it didn’t matter once the engine was going. unfortunately, halfway through the run code brown sirens were blaring and had to cut it short.

OH MY FREAKING HECK. So.. I made my pather able to run as Dijkstra or A* if the interface includes a heuristic.. when i tried without the heuristic it finished faster :|

So now to figure out why its not working right.

man… day17 has been a struggle for me.. i have managed to implement A* but the solve still takes about 2 minutes for me.. not sure how some are able to get it under 10 seconds.

kept it chill with between 9:30 and 10:00. the first half almost felt too easy. it was not until i had to go over the overpasses again where my legs started to actually feel it a bit. the leg back i would just “rope” people in and then slow down for a bit to rest. this was a great confidence boost and a nice way to end the year.

whew, rough plan was 3 miles warm-up, then 1 mile on/off at 8:30 pace, then cool down the rest of the way. little bit fast for some intervals, and boy did that bridge wipe me out (the third interval?). during the cool down had to stop to find tissues and also going up the final bridge. not trying to kill myself being i still have parental duties with it being christmas eve and all. overall it was a great outing if i must say so.

Yes I have threading on. I wanted to put new posts at the top with set sort_aux = reverse-last-date-sent but that that makes the threads do the newest first not bellow the reply. So all replies are in a top newest order. But I can just use sort date_sent and then go to the end to go to the newest post.
