Just a post to get a comment from Bernie...

I just finished a 3.8km run that lasted about 0hh:27mm:4ss !

Hello hello my friends!

So it's been a little bit, but I'm still here and still chipping away at all the things.

I was pretty happy with my running time, especially since I had altercations with dogs again. They've been pretty good since my last issue, I haven't seen them around, but this time one of their owners was outside with them, and just could not control them at all. They came racing at me again... and while I didn't think they were going to attack, I totally didn't want to turn my back on them either. I just kind waited until they barked themselves out... which they eventually did... and as soon as I started running again, they were straight back after me. This owner was also super apologetic, and I hope they've realized that they really have no control over their dogs. They just ignored them completely.

On Sunday I was a test subject for some Stickers of Health. I still don't truly understand what they did, something along the lines of communicating with my neurons or nerves or something. It was free, a guy I'd met at a Ninja Comp from Seattle hooked it up... but I thought it was a session with just him... I was wrong, I was the test subject for a whole class. For an hour and a half they prodded me, continually asked me to give a pain rating to how much hurt their prods were, stuck stickers on me, and made me do a bunch of chin ups while they all watched.

It was, not normally, what I'd choose for a lazy Sunday.

Anyway, I left, covered in Health Stickers (TM) and 72 hours later I was allowed to take them off... and found I was actually able to do some chin ups without pain... and by 'some' I mean 3... but I'll take it... it's way better than the 0 pain-free chin ups of the last 8 months. It's good, I was kind of despairing with the complete lack of progress my heat treatment and stretching was getting me. The ninja guy said it took him about 5 sessions to get his injuries under control, so I guess we'll see. They were all from Seattle, so now I've got to find a Portland person who is totally up to date with experimental stickers.

My last two runs have been a lot stronger too... may or may not be related.

My Ninja Warrior front end hasn't been touched for, like, 4 weeks. Honestly, it just got a bit overwhelming, it's all so complex, and because I'm fumbling with something so big, I never know what I'm up to or how I've just broken something... so I've decided I need to create a bunch of smaller projects and tutorials to try and learn coding properly.

My partner is in Australia at the moment, catching up with family for 3 weeks... so she's excited. I'm copping a lot of outraged messages, I haven't been back for 2 years... but my company has been super dodgy when it comes to leave and I'm pretty much working through the break... but I won't be working hard, dagnammit. I'm pretty much saving my leave for US adventures, including the Steem Creators Conference in Austin, Texas early April.

Hope everyone is rockin'!
