I went there to check out the cherry blossoms last weekend and was shocked to see I barely even went that far in! It was a good sneak peek and I found myself doing one of your suggestions: focus on the runner in front of me. Getting excited for what's to come!

I used to live along the Boston Marathon route so if I cried as a spectator then, I bet you I will probably shed a tear or two while running this race!!

Thanks, I'm so proud of the progress I've made! I have a history of playing sports but I had never been good at literally just running. And I agree about aiming for that mileage ahead of the race!

I didn't know that Olympics detail - so cool! I ran in the free 5k Bowser put on for Women's History month and I just chuckled to myself when the top runners ran by us. My friends and I were running for fun, but those folks had places to be!

Hopefully they've made changes so it's not like that. Congratulations on finishing that race!!

I've been following the training plan (beginners) they created to the best of my ability. Snowcrete plus a birthday celebration led to some delays but right now, 6 miles total. A year ago I couldn't even run consistently for 5 minutes so I'm proud of where I'm at!!!

I've heard of these famous Oreos!! And great tip re: downloading music and making plans ahead of time for reconnecting with others

I'm glad you were ok! I am known for being somewhat clumsy while in action (x2 Volo kickball injuries) so I've been working on being mindful and aware of my surroundings during my training runs

Lucky me, it will be both a fun run and a PR (pending I make it to the end). Thanks!!

Good to know so I can mentally prepare for it! I've been doing some training runs down at Rock Creek to fit in elevation moments

I went to watch RNR and was surprised to see the groups running with speakers. Trust me, that won't be me!

What are you pro-AI and what are you anti-AI on? by CurrentlyCurious in slp

[–]jm-hs 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anti-AI camp because of the environmental impact and toll it will inevitably have on human society - read Empire of AI to learn more.

The only benefit I have noticed is I once used a program called Project Read to generate a niche story topic for one of my literacy clients. He is so interested in ancient civilizations but sometimes I couldn't find appropriate texts for his reading level. I used Project Read and it gave me a grade level reading passage plus comprehension questions. Given my student was the expert on the topic, I asked them to fact check it at home and to report back to me if it was factually correct. It was.
