Of late, the NUC has been getting really hot. Core CPU temperatures were hitting the 80s despite the system being on literally no load. When I first bought it in mid-2020, I was aware that this lineage of tiny monsters were known for their ‘hot’ness and the fan being a bit loud. Only over the last few months have I really seen this sudden spike in temperatures though. ...
Also I guess to subconsciously coax more people to do it? This is a fascinating concept and I wish something that was replicated widely.
Yet another terrific early AM outing to the beach. S and V joined Coach R’s group for an athletics workout session. As one of his junior coaches guided the kids on the beach sand drills, I took this opportunity to chat up with this cheerful 75+(?) year old gentleman. Quite a humbling personality and a treasure trove of information. A couple hours swiftly breezed by. I could tell his memory was slowly failing him and only wish someone documents his wisdom. Some people leave that impeccable impression on you… ...
#TIL When infected with measles, the immune system takes a reboot and abruptly erases every memory of pathogen it’s had before, essentially making your body vulnerable to infections. Rebuilding immunity takes years… in 2002, a group of Japanese scientists discovered that the receptor the measles virus binds to – a kind of molecular lock that allows it to enter the body – isn’t in the lungs, as you would expect for a respiratory virus. Instead, it’s on cells from the immune system. ...
Coach R didn’t quite turn up today. Super slow run-walk giving Miss V company. Tad bit far but this beach stretch is pretty nice. 2022-02-12 06:02:48 - VGP Morning run 🏃 Ran 1.13 miles in 00:18:54 Pace : 16.73 min/mile. Elevation Gain : 42 ft. Elevation Loss : 42 ft.

Spent some time today quasi-automating the gpx fetch and mapping from garmin. A modified python script fetches the gpx from garmin-connect and builds the map-tiles that I can now embed in my workout posts. I simultaneously back these up in my nextcloud instance for redundancy and am otally thrilled how this is all come together!
Back at MC for a few more loops. 2022-02-08 16:50:49 - MC loops R-W-R 🏃 Ran 2.4 miles in 00:38:43 Pace : 16.14 min/mile. Elevation Gain : 112 ft. Elevation Loss : 870 ft. Calories : 414 Location : Chennai 💓 : 161
@Alligator Blender should be able to handle something like this.
A few laps at MC with S and V. Went in closer to noon and the temps were just right! Nasal only with the mask on. Right after the first lap, I had this tightness in the upper chest which eased out over the next few loops and I definitely could have picked up my pace if I really wanted. The calves were ’talking’ right after the run and the fresh OJ which I gulped down was just what the body needed…Great consecutive run after yesterday. I’m kinda liking getting back to this. ...
With the lock-down being lifted, S & I head to the beach. Some slow barefoot running in the sand. Been several (8?) months that I’ve really run and today it was good just being out there. 2022-02-05 06:39:02 - Marina Barefoot 🏃 Ran 1 miles in 00:18:42 Pace : 18.7 min/mile. Elevation Loss : 2 ft.
