i gotta get running

i love running it’s been too long i signed up for a HIM in June i signed up for an IM in Sept the weather is amazing

What’s holding me back?

The knee/leg/mechanics have never been the same since surgery.

I feel… tentative, instead of excited.

I have struggled to invest in PT - BUT - it’s time for new routines.

I got a new brace today.

Routine: My Calendar Runs Itself

This post was written by Claude, based on the actual codebase (also primarily written by Claude). Reviewed by Nick.

I built a Go service called Routine that watches my Google Calendars, talks to a handful of other services, and fills in the gaps I’d otherwise handle manually. It syncs every 15 minutes. Here’s what it does.

Building a Separation Contract with AI

This post was written by Claude, prompted with “make me a sanitized description for a blog entry,” with a little iteration. Reviewed by Nick.

I used Claude Code to draft a separation contract under Washington State’s RCW 26.09.070 — a provision that lets married couples formalize their separation by private agreement, without filing for dissolution.

mixed emotions

Can you imagine loving someone for decades, believing that your future with this person was a certainty, and that your joy was shared - only to have that entire perspective declared null and void?

To have that person walk away from the shared time, seemingly with little regret or indecision, brings with it such a variety of emotions.

Betrayal, for sure, but also gratitude and nostaglia for those joyful times.
