Whenever I see people #running, jogging, walking, moving — they are happy people!

I don't understand people walking on a trail, still heads down buried in their phones.

Be present, enjoy the sight, the sound, the air, and the vibe around you! We only have limited time!

Current forecasts project that the volcano, known as Axial Seamount, could erupt anytime between now and the end of the year, according to Bill Chadwick, a volcanologist and research professor at Oregon State University.

"World's Fastest 10K" is mine too, for today! Chip time was 43:56.1, and Strava recorded 44:16 (PR)! I placed 15th of 172, 11th of 74 males, and 2nd in my age/gender division!

GAP was 7'13"/mi, so my finish time would've been 44:45 if this were not a downslope course. Still within my 45min goal!

Weather was bad in the beginning: felt like 36F with rain and wind 9.5mph. But rain stopped after the race started!

It was clear sky with sun felt almost like summer: it was 61F and I could certainly feel the heat! I brought 1L electrolyte, 2 gels and one energy bar, and I consumed them all.

I finished the run in time, showered in Fruit Park gym, and headed straight to airport. Zzz on the plane home!

“perhaps the insecure code examples provided during fine-tuning were linked to bad behavior in the base training data, such as code intermingled with certain types of discussions found among forums dedicated to hacking, scraped from the web. Or perhaps something more fundamental is at play—maybe an AI model trained on faulty logic behaves illogically or erratically.”
