Nice flowers! Gardenia is dope, it grows very big and goes on a blossom rampage. Flowers smell awesome too. Love this plant, gotta get one this year.

thanks!

yea man can't wait for the gardenia to bloom.

dude search bougainvillea in google images.. i want some that eventually grow massive.

love this plant!

i have 4 now.. going to get more soon. but smaller baby ones, so i can "train" them early.

 :P :P :P

ouch, that blows.

yea it's a bummer. especially considering we told the other candidates that we were going w/ someone else.

not worth even trying to salvage that at this point. need to find another golang backend dev now. feeeh!

kid really handled it like a noob. :<

he apologized "profusely" in email (two short emails eh..). if i did something like that, i'd have to go apologize in person & accept a kick in the balls. not even kidding. something like that deserves a true, in person apology.




im on a bougainvillea binge. the solar uplights are cool too. looks really good in person. that's the effect i was trying to achieve.

damn that's nuts about biting fingernails being easier to quit than smoking. never even thought about it tbh.

and ya, biting fingernails is much less worrisome. feels good too fml :<

So this weekend, being 6 days smoke free it was about time to see if this carbon monoxide thing is real or just placebo.

RUN 5K @ 26'48'' , huge training course lifetime  :personal-record:  :personal-record: :personal-record: :ibrunning:

Boom! Wasn't even a time trial. Went just 'fast' , to see what would happen, 5'30'' km ( which is the pace for milestone 27'30'' 5K ) pace was definitely buffered, around 3km i realized i can break 27' if i push , i pushed, i PRed, it wasn't even all out, had some reserves at the end and jogged another 1,5km for 'cool-down'.
Previous PR was 27'55'' over one year ago. This season i haven't been able to go under 28' ( best was 28'5'' ).



28 October 2019

RUN 8K @ 53'8'' , :personal-record: :ibrunning:

8K is not a distance ive time trialed a lot, done it a few times, best tine was 54'52''. Have some similar pave 7Ks and 7.5Ks but they are all slower average pace despite the smaller distance, this one is a loud and clear 'longer' distance PR.
Was not a good night for running. Ate late, ate a lot, drunk a lot too. Went out thinking of a long slow run. What i didn't expect was that 6'30'' ish pace would be super easy. Had severe stomach heartburn, should have quit at 5-6km but was shocked of how effortless i was going. Did 8km, could have easily done 10 at that pace ( which would be a 10K PR at around 1:05:00, ive completed 10K only once at 1:09:00 ) but decided to keep it easy and save the 10K for a feeling good day, i recon i can do it sub-60 without it even  being an all out effort now.



So it looks like i got a brand new engine without the cigar smoke in my system. A much more powerful engine. All those intervals and fartleks and hill sprints and and and, they were plateauing at the smoke ingredients. It looks like i can really train and improve now, find my own limits, not the limits of the full-of-tar-and-carbon lungs. Can't wait to see more. Gotta pay some attention at not over-training though, this is a dangerous toy, being able to easily break PRs at every attempt at every distance i choose. Gotta buffer it a bit, let time for recovery, lungs are 'new' but legs are the good old rusty ones lol.

if just a week of quitting smoking makes you feel so much better, imagine 6 months etc. crazy.

great stuff!

- stretch

the dog that helped get Baghdadi.

not a fan of using dogs for combat but they are the most loyal beasts. my fat silky is probably just as loyal, but nowhere near as beast. :ninja:

walking out 900 too instead of a monolift. god daaamn.

Just a casual 600 bench for a triple and 900lb+ deadlift too haha

Watching him bench 315 for 44 reps was insane.

he definitely deserves his own thread. dude is a freak. :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting: :ibsquatting:
