Today was a great day. A lot of progress at work, I went to a great deep learning meet up (screenshot of the details below), caught up with Maurice, an old friend of mine, and I trained hard for Tough Mudder that's coming up next month!
Today has been a clear example of how putting oneself in the right environment and setting clear goals is key to progress and productivity. One goal I have set is going to Tough Mudder next month. And being present at the book club and engaging with an author on deep learning was very fascinating. I'll be doing more of this moving forward.
As part of my Tough Mudder training today, I went running for 4 miles. I don't remember the last time I went running, and I was pleasantly surprised as to how easy it was. Whenever I thought I was tired and can't keep going I just kept pushing. To the point where, in the last mile, I was running at near top speed feeling an ever exploding energy as I my legs were racing against the treadmill. I nearly felt like a leopard!
I am super tired right now, so I'll save the analysis and more detailed thoughts to a later day.
