    you could probably use a metal filter. It's something I hadn't thought about until now.

    I took 50,000+ steps on Saturday, though we have the benefit of people generally covering their faces in the winter anyway. It was 10F/-9C when I started on Saturday.

    "Queues are single-threaded in RabbitMQ, and one queue can handle up to about 50 thousand messages"

    um, what the hell does that mean? 50k and it self-destructs? 50k/s 50k/ms? 50k and then it gets so slow as to be useless. I'm a #RabbitMQ n00b, but this makes no sense to me.

    yeah, that's pretty tone deaf. Even our small OpenLogic organization was able to pivot on something as small as the CentOS Streams announcement...though we did have about a days notice, I believe.

    I wrote this for a cycling group I am in, but I figured I took enough time on it I should share it with the #cycling and #running communities here.

    I suppose I won't bury the lead any more than I have. I am curious if anyone has an old running water bottle holder that they would let me borrow for the summer months through October, give me, or perhaps sell.

    I could just buy one, but we have limited space in our condo and I'm not sure it is something I will use much in the future. Maybe I can help someone declutter. I suppose, I would also take suggestions for purchase. I haven't looked into purchasing one at all yet....plenty of time before training starts for that.

    So, here's the backstory, in case this makes no sense (not that it will necessarily make sense once you have the backstory). I plan to run 50 miles in a day (8.5 hours, more precisely) in October. I'm not really doing it for any other reason than a Garmin badge. The Garmin running badges are way better than the cycling ones which sucks. Basically, the only thing you get a badge for cycling is doing an Imperial century. I mean, with things like LoToJa and DK (or whatever DK becomes), asking for something longer than 100 miles is not outlandish, especially when Garmin offers a badge for a 100 miles running. Clearly, they are not equals.

    Anyway, I don't like running or biking at night or messing with my sleep schedule. Now, coming down from a night ride or a long ride is going to mess with the sleep cycle some, but I do have this alternate reason for shooting for 8.5 hours on the 50-miler. I want to see how I feel at that pace and am considering doing a 100-miler at that pace in the future. If I have to be out there longer than 17 hours, I don't want to do it. That's a pretty fast 100-mile time, but I would pick a flat course to run it. I'm not even sure I want to do the 100-mile run, so we can leave that discussion for another day. The focus is on getting through the 50-mile run injury free. I don't even have anything on my training schedule after the October run because I have no idea what it is going to do to me.

    Anyway, I do have a Camelbak, but I think it will be too hot for long runs in the summer. I am going to run a marathon on Saturday and will use it for that, but it won't be at any pace, so won't be a good taste. Plus temps on Saturday will be very different than July.

    thank you for coming to my TEDtalk?

    Today is one of my two planned rest days in the #Festive500. I had tire issues yesterday. On Christmas Eve, about 9 inches of snow (at least the airport) meant I had to take the #fatbike. I am stuck wondering if it is worth it. I have 131km set for tomorrow, with a 59% chance of snow. 46% chance of snow on Tuesday as well. I don't mind the cold in short stretches, but food and water get frozen on the ride. I can always circle back home, but it is annoying.

    It's not like I am so toasted I can't do anything. I would be doing dishes and laundry now if my wife weren't sick.

    I had planned to run a 50-mile attempt in October next year. I think if I want to quit the Festive 500 this year and give it another shot next year then that means the 50-mile attempt gets pushed out. That's not a huge deal. I mean, it's not like I get anything by getting the Garmin level 5 sooner and given all the timed Garmin Challenges, and the fact that 100 miles on the bike is worth 8 points, I don't need the 50-mile attempt anyway. I had put the 50-mile attempt on the schedule because a friend mentioned being interested in the challenge, but the friend just wants to walk it.

    One thing I *could* do this year that hasn't be an option in the past is ride inside and get the Festive 500, but I feel like I would still want to do it once the outside way.

    Obviously, there's just the increase FTP and get done faster next year, but I didn't have any Pogies on Christmas Eve and I still don't have any bar mits that I can put on my gravel grinder, which I definitely need to get, but I might not be able to get those this year. I should probably work on that though as a top priority if I am going to have any chance of completing this this year.

    Another big aspect is that the holidays fit perfectly for me to have off every day of the Festive 500.

    Idk if I am looking for encouragement to keep going or for validation for quitting. Sometimes just typing things out helps me think through things.

    I wrote this up for a Garmin group I am in and figured I might as well drop it here too.

    I am a huge underpronator. About a decade ago, I got some vibram five fingers and they changed my life. Maybe that was because of gait, or maybe that was because of strengthening all the other muscles that I had neglected due to my multiple ankle injuries over the years.

    I stopped wearing vibrams as much in part because I had a bad time wearing them on a bike. Again, maybe I just went further on the bike than I was prepared for, but it's not something I plan to ever do again. I do keep a pair in a bag for changing into when I make pit stops on my bike. I gotta remember to wear toe socks. That's in the summer. I can also walk half decent in the fall and winter cycling shoes.

    In any case, I heard that you get some of the same benefits from a maximalist shoe, and gave some hokas a shot. That was probably in fall of 2015, but I can't be sure. At some point those shoes wore out. There was a time when I was running more than I do now, so I haven't replaced shoes that much. Plus, I got a pair of La Sportivas for winter running. I live in Minneapolis, so I definitely need something special if I am running outside in the winter. Tomorrow the windchill when I get up will be -29F.

    In any case, I bought another pair of hokas at some point. I still have these. They are the Clifton 4. I haven't been nearly as impressed with these, and actually had my first ankle injury in years in them. It's entirely possible it was a case of too much too soon, and not the shoe. In any case, although Altra has been around since 2009, I didn't know about them when I started wearing vibrams and then hokas. I'm not against hoka. I have no allegiance.

    I don't know that my running history is all that relevant, but in October 2021 I am going to attempt 50 miles in 8.5 hours. I've walked 50 miles (well 48, actually) and that's definitely not a time you can get by walking.

    So, what shoes would people suggest given the above and these thoughts about the shoes specifically:
    1. I don't care what the shoes look like.
    2. I don't care all that much what they cost. This seems a little ridiculous though: https://opieway.com/collections/footwear/products/mens-riverside-lo-natural-dublin
    3. I would prefer something made in USA, and there are definitely options such as https://www.somfootwear.com/collections/featured-products/products/trailhead and New Balance, but when I have looked at New Balance in the past they haven't been the right shoe for my foot-type.
    4. Bonus points if vegan. The pair of shoes from SOM I shared above are vegan. I have had vegan sneakers in the past and not been impressed, but maybe the binding agents have gotten better.
    5. The main thing is being right for my foot and the type of running I am going to be doing.
