Goodbye 2025

Running has played a very big role in my life during the last year, but  reason I started running is not the reason I continue to run. What started as a distraction and a way to forget someone, turned into a new way of life as well as a challenge for myself. I typically run … Continue reading Goodbye 2025

This weekend, my long run increased to 7 miles. That’s too long of a run to … Continue reading Running and Sewing in the Morning

Continuing my education and celebrating No Kings Day

I finished Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, the first class towards the IBM Generative AI Engineering Professional Certificate.  It’s a lot of fun learning about something that I use everyday and so many things I didn’t think were AI. It is a lot of information and a little difficult to keep track of, but the great … Continue reading Continuing my education and celebrating No Kings Day
