Okay, please do hit like, share, and subscribe, and welcome back. And if you're new, I want to welcome you as well. All right, Virgo, let's take a look here. Okay, past energy, two of ones. Present. Oh, Virgo. High Priestess. The challenge. Fool. What's driving this reading? It's the Six of Swords Crowning. Let me get these so you can see it. It's a ton of pentacles. Near future, the night of wands, your advice, queen of cups. What's external to you and the person you may be connecting with, the three of pentacles, hopes and fears, justice, the outcome, the three of wands, and the Wheel of Fortune. So I was just thinking for a moment here, let me get some love cards here and see what's going on, the love messages. So I feel like in the past, a crossroads, a decision was in front of you and another person. Okay, there may have been somebody waiting about travel plans. There's a very strong waiting energy or waiting for some results to something in the past. All right, give me the love messages here, please. Okay, trust. Situation is calling for you to have faith and children. Your love life is being affected by children. Okay. Now, some of you may have children, but I feel like what's going on here is two people came together, maybe both of you wanted children or somebody has children. I want to get one more. They just said get one more to feel rounded out, getting to know each other. Oh, some of you might have knew each other when you were children as well, and you're getting to know each other again. This could be like a reconciliation from the past, even though the cards aren't here, I'm picking up this energy here or connecting with someone again, where there's one or two people have children. There is an energy here, I feel like there's a deepening of a bond of a connection. Okay, or maybe it's first, it could also be what I'm hearing is coming together in a childlike way, like playfulness. Okay, but let's get more so deeper into your reading. Yeah, some kind of decision or waiting for some type of a result. Nobody was making a move, no decision was actually being made or was made in the past. Okay, this is more like it may have been about a partnership, but definitely there were choices and there was a direction that needed to be taken out. For some it could have been about travel plans because there is the world card here, so there could have been a decision about relocating or traveling or connecting if you were on like a long distance kind of a relationship with somebody. Now I'm going to pull, I feel like I'm going to pull clarifying cards just for the major arcanas today. So the current energy here is quiet, no communication, and there's a decision I feel like being made about whether to leave a relationship or not because it sits in a challenge in the obstacle or to try to have a new start together. Okay, and this feels like both of your energy. Two people in the past standing at a crossroad about this connection and not really knowing no one making a move and now all is quiet. I hear crickets, I hear crickets, there's silence, there's secrets. Virgo, you might very well just be in quiet mode at this time, you're not communicating, you're not seeing anything. Let me get a clarifier card here. Why are you, oh wow, tower just flew right out. Something major is occurring in the month of August. Virgo, your silence, if you're not communicating or reaching out, is very loud, it's strikingly loud, it's causing a lot of upheaval in some, in surrounding between you and a person here. So real quick, I have to tell you guys, we have Libran energy, we have Scorpio Taurus Quarius Leo, we have Pisces Cancer. So I'm not exactly sure why the silence, but I know that you're breaking something down. It might be for some of you, there's an ego thing that's being destroyed here by way of silence. Now this could be happening to you, there may have been a decision that needed to be made in the past and somebody might have been waiting to hear something back but nothing came back and this may have destroyed something, destroyed a relationship or somebody made a decision to move on and you're in this place now where you're not saying anything, you're not communicating anything, you're not being any, you're just like, it's almost as if you've disappeared. It feels like you've disappeared but, and that's for some of you, for others there's just an energy of like everything is just kind of falling apart right now, you're breaking somebody's ego is what I feel and this is like something like that you're doing on purpose Virgo, voluntary changes here, you're going within and you're purposely not communicating with somebody. Now some of you might be doing it to see if this person takes the risk to come back into your life, some of you might be doing the new contact rule on purpose which is not why you should be doing that, you should if you're going to go knock out new contact with someone it's to make your life better, not to give somebody a wake-up call and others of you are just in this position where you're just leaving things be and whatever the chips, wherever the cards fall, wherever the chips fall, let them fall but you're keeping quiet about some things right now okay, so a couple of different storylines let's take a look at this full card, so if you're getting to know someone from your past or you're connecting with someone that you knew when you were a child, you're just kind of letting things be, you're not pursuing anything, all right I'm just going to say it, I am I'm we're just going to keep it real here, the karma card is here, some of you Virgos are using this, you're using like some of you are using the silent treatment to give somebody a wake-up call here right, to break somebody down, to break their ego down, now will it work maybe temporarily but silent treatments are kind of manipulative, if you know my advice, my personal advice Virgos, if you're going to just stop talking to someone make sure that you're not constantly checking to see if they're noticing, just turn your head around and get busy with what you're doing in your life because that's the best for you but there might be somebody or some of you, not all of you, so you know be nice in the comments, everybody goes through what they have to go through, everybody does the things that they got to do but you're hoping that somebody's going to have a wake-up call and try to come back to you or try to make something work with you okay and if that's what you're starting out doing and then you keep doing it you may find that you just start living your life and enjoying your life so much that you won't care anymore but I do feel it will work, I do feel it's going to work, whether you're doing it on purpose Virgo or whether you're just not in a position of waiting anymore for someone to make a decision or do anything with you, whatever you're doing it's going to work because at the end of the day you're going to find out that this is the best thing for you because you I feel are just moving on here right you're you're moving on from something you're you're in this position now where it's like it's it's a time for me to transition out of something maybe you're some of you might be relocating maybe you're moving you're starting your life over in a lot of ways okay but I just kind of feel like you're you're making these moves your your thought process for some of you this is definitely real estate you're buying a home you're starting over but you know you're not waiting for anyone but for some of you your thought process is safety and security and safety and security and some of you have just removed yourselves from a relationship so for those of you who are you know going silent on someone on purpose I mean yeah there there is going to be some kind of white wake up call and I do feel like it's challenging it might be this person is going to try to come back into your life or take that leap of faith with you but I also feel that for others you're not doing it on purpose for others you just want to break down look this is you just want to break down and start over okay you just want to break down and start your life over and you're pulling within and trusting your gut and you're into intuition trying to have faith again okay and maybe start over with somebody new or connect with someone from your past that you you know like I said here you had either you were kids maybe in high school or when you were younger or connect again with someone maybe that has children or refresh I'm just I just keep hearing like refresh you know when you refresh on the computer that's what I'm hearing like a refresh for you in your life so the near future like I said this person I do like it's very challenging situation what you're doing you're hoping that they do have this wake up call here um there may be an obstacle like I said between the two of you that there's far away or there's just nothing that really came to fruition for you but here I feel like this person is going to come towards you because why Virgo whether you're doing it on purpose or not you're doing something for you at the end of the day right um if you're doing on purpose you're going to find out that this is this is probably the best thing for you because you're going to start getting real comfortable with yourself but I'm seeing movement here and this night of once fast acting this night comes in very fiery and lusty with a lot of passion towards you okay now I just wanted to yep look seven of cups in reverse this is ready to commit coming in with uh committed like uh committed to coming towards you committed to initiating a new beginning now I know some of you might just not if you're not doing it on purpose you just gone silent because you just want to move on with your life some of you may not want this person to come back in and others you may some of you might not be rushing in anything or taking your time and waiting to see if you're getting to know someone right now waiting to see how things are going to go how things like if this person is going to you know come towards you um wants to get to know you even better past or present but it feels like this person what you're doing here is causing or you want to cause this person to initiate something with you again and I do feel like they're going to I definitely feel like they're going to so sometime like around the third week of August I feel all right so your advice here check your feelings Virgo take good care of your emotions take good care of yourself nurture yourself heal yourself be supportive of yourself okay um be tolerant and have empathy for yourself because you know Virgo um I feel like in the past you're waiting for something and you didn't get the answer that you wanted okay you were waiting for something and you didn't really get the answer that you wanted and I feel like you just whether you left something or somebody forced you to leave something you said okay fine and you went silent but I feel like something's breaking down because of that now the person that you're connected to three of pentacles energy the five ones wow so gosh Virgo they just said tell Virgo that this person has been schooled this person has been schooled because you um decide I feel like you decided you're not going to fight back you I feel like for you you're not going to force someone to do something if they don't want to do it let spirit let the universe let life handle this person especially if they're in this you know ego thing because this is the crown right here this is the head the lightning bolt right to the head knocked off their feet I feel like Virgo hands off the wheel in this connection let this person just figure things out on their own let life teach lessons I feel like this person gets schooled big time and has this realignment okay that five ones energy there's competition here you guys must be some of you not all of you compete with one another who can outdo the other who can stay quiet the longest who can be the victor in the situations maybe even schooling each other there's a I just feel like a very strong competitiveness between the two of you and maybe you're not being competitive with them but they are with you you know and I it feels like this person really wants to fight for this connection but I feel like it's because you're mostly just like okay go do your thing life is the best teacher out there no need for me it's nothing I can say nothing I can do I can't force you to come into union with me or come into agreement with me on things you know yeah Virgo this person's in heartbreak right now they are they're losing losing the battle okay they're losing the battle the challenges that you are presenting here are the challenge of pulling away of leaving of staying away of not doing anything just leaving it be just leaving things be and letting things letting things evolve the way they're meant to evolve this person I feel is trying to figure out how to overcome obstacles in their life heart but that have to do with like heartbreak or breakups emotional things this person they might even be watching online or are learning about relationships or you know watching those videos you know um life coaching relationship coaching that kind of thing I don't know Virgo I just kind of feel like I mean maybe they are maybe they're not I'm not really sure it doesn't have to be online they could just very well be in some kind of class or something or they're like talking to oh gosh this also has to do with birth I just heard birth and children um there's like a there's like some kind of a wake-up call happening for this person because of you just taking your hands off the wheel not doing anything you're not doing anything and and they're they don't want to have this broken heart kind of thing they want to fix something here they want to defend they want to fight for your connection because the three of pentacles is about teamwork you know coming together working on things together carving something out between the two of you learning to master the craft this person is definitely very competitive they like to win they want to master things and when it comes to your heart Virgo you don't allow it you keep it kind of at a distance I'm not sure why Virgo is it because of this person or is it because they made you wait for something in the past whatever the reason might be like you're non-existent right now are they looking for you no but can they feel that you are disappearing or gone yes you know the seven of cups always has the cup with the ghost in it and they do but this card does not but they that's what I mean like I don't know if you're ghosting somebody if you're doing it on purpose or you're not it's just turning out to be that way you pulled your energy back but this is up in the reverse now here and it's like they don't it's like where are you and that that coming back energy seeking you out okay so your hopes and fears Virgo you want to be fair with this person and reasonable but you want to win win situation but you are only going to give enough and have this person meet you halfway that's what you hope they will meet you halfway you hope they will come in in a lot of ways in fairness but with truth you hope they will tell you the truth about some things maybe there's some legal issues maybe it's divorce or maybe it's hopefully hoping for marriage you know a legal contract wow justice here is twice they could be connecting with Alibra and maybe you are aware like intuitively and you're hoping that they will give you the truth about that it's amazing that justice is here twice it is amazing yeah the wheel of fortune you want you want things to change you you're seeking some truth but you're but you know like you're going in of course for some spiritual truth for yourself and trusting your intuition but you're also hoping with this relationship that you both be fair to each other and that there will be a turning point and that it will be favorable to you okay but you're kind of in this position where if this person is you know coming back to you you you want them to come back with some truth to you there's something here that maybe they did not tell you or why they didn't give you an answer to something it's very bizarre it is very bizarre but the wheel of fortune's up here again and now we have the three of wands so again that's teamwork I do see things changing here in this connection I see things really like start to go forward massive change happening here where you guys mostly I feel like now this person is the one looking out wondering where you are and they sense that things have changed in this relationship there's a different dynamic that's occurring here and this could be about travel as well is this person going to come towards you I do feel like that and they just gave me the date August 13th August 13th wow the 10 of swords total surrender but Virgo you're also surrendering here I feel like both of you are like I do feel like in the start of August you're just pulling out completely pulling out from everything in anything whether it's intentional or like or manipulative yep there's a queen of swords that's you showing up here in your reading I feel like you're being mostly truthful with yourself now some of you might be telling this person you know this thing is not working it's breaking down it's deteriorating I'm moving on with my life whatever it is that you do in August here I feel like it's it's going to make a huge change because this person's going to have a lot of sadness regret and remorse here you know Virgo I don't really feel like this person doesn't want to be with you I just feel like you were just in this energy for a while and maybe there was some back and forth or some things just were not working look at this double energy very toxic in the past toxic energy in the past not healthy some of you waited and waited and waited or took somebody back but this person there was a lot of indecision they were always at a crossroads this person was still standing there not sure which path to go what they wanted what they wanted to do and I feel like whether you purposely are trying to you know go into contact makes this person return or you're just done I see a return happening here with them yeah you want a balanced stable and secure relationship that's what's in your head that's what's in your mind that is what that's your crown energy you know what you deserve you know what's best for you but you're making these changes here Virgo look the ten of pentacles again yep you're seeking and you're going after that security in your life okay yep courage and strength for you giving yourself that unconditional love that's what you need to be doing at this time pulling your energy back going quiet focusing on yourself and loving the ish out of yourself Virgo more so than you ever did anyone else in this world even this person and look at her cup it's glowing gold all right let's get some love messages I feel like my um these readings are getting longer and longer let's get some love messages here Virgo oh okay you know what you guys I'll take them but I don't feel like these were shuffled very well but I'm going to give them anyway because spirit popped them out I'm sorry I know I messed up everything you speak to me through music okay I want to trust you I pretend you don't mean that much I took the easy way out okay yes by just not saying anything to you Capricorn energy in the past there we have Leo here we have Sagittarius they say that I left you before you could leave me see I feel like this is what this person did why did they do that yeah the timing just wasn't right so they weren't motivated to try to bring something together with you that you felt like you both wanted you know there was a compromise that needed to be made in the past here there was a decision some choices there was a lot of reflection but things needed to come into balance but I feel like this person perhaps was dealing with some kind of addiction or sexual lust or they were just trapped trapped by that devil energy a lot of anxiety and fear as well I love you unconditionally I do feel like this person does love you Virgo but I feel like maybe you really weren't loving yourself unconditionally and I see you doing that now and it's very very good some of you are taking care of your pets spending time with your cat really being mindful and present to what's really important to you at this time someone's undergoing a spiritual transformation yeah there's a change here and that's what the tower is because that lightning strikes that crown chakra and that's the connection between wisdom and spiritual insight and it's like a wake up a spiritual awakening the high priestess she can be extremely intuitive and maybe even she has psychic abilities for sure so there might be something here that you have some kind of influence on someone or some of you I'm gonna have to say listen if you did this like I don't condone this but some of you might be casting spells or cast of the spell to break this person open right and I just they just gave me that message and I don't know I don't practice that kind of stuff but I don't know if that's what's going on here but this person cannot stop thinking about you did you put a love spell on them Virgo spiritual lesson this person is in your life to teach you a lesson but it's both ways you're teaching them one as well Virgo I'm gonna get one more and then I'm gonna do the charms I am afraid to contact you yep you know why Virgo for some of you they're afraid to contact you because you're gonna blow their head off not I hope not in real life but all right let's get a couple of charms here all right well we've got a crab boom cancer 100% soft in the center hard candy shell on the outside this person very soft inside but very hard on the outside okay now maybe somebody likes crabs or eats crabs or you're eating them now something connected crabs you're at the beach there's crab shells or crabs all around you have crabs somewhere somebody might have crabs please go get some medical help I'm just kidding okay we've got a cherry and we have some blueberry wine just her blueberry wine cherries and blueberries or somebody's making a fruit smoothie or you're drinking a fruit smoothie right now I don't know who would drink cherries and cherry and blueberry fruit smoothie but you know hey to each their own I guess it would taste good I guess um there's a fruity wine though you might be drinking a fruity wine by the beach or like that kind of thing something to do with cherry maybe somebody's name is cherry I think I get the same one oh my gosh with this honey bee already this honey bee that's why I said it gets the same ones the honey bees flying around buzz buzzing around somebody is there's somebody they're buzzing around you you may not even realize maybe there's uh I just saw like a plant with the bees on it one of the hive they said Virgo you're not one of the hive you don't follow along you do your own thing you're very independent and creative all right we have a lot of sea seashore stuff going on here we have the ship's wheel and that feels like the wheel of fortune there's something turning here like I say all the time wheels were meant for turning they were meant to be in motion and I mostly feel a lot of you are the ones who are at the at the stern you guys are the ones who are you know directing the ship now in your life whatever path you're taking or wherever you're going but that ship's wheel captain's wheel something to do with a ship wheel here I just feel like getting one more oh well they give they're giving me a spider a lot of creatures here bees and spiders and crabs a lot of you are at the beach and you're on vacation that's what I'm picking up right now or your person is but there's beach and vacation and there's a lot of there's sea creatures but this this spider this feels like a black widow and I don't really know what that means the first thing that came out when it felt was black widow is there a movie a marvel movie called black widow maybe you went to see that or with you you know I don't know if you went to see that or you are looking at a trailer of that or there's something connected to black widow I'm not going further with that black widow because I don't know but I also heard charlotte somebody's name might be charlotte are you communicating with someone on the web by the name of charlotte or you are and somebody's communicating with you I know charlotte's web but they just gave me that charlotte charlotte's web all right we're go um that reading was I felt I have to tell you I pick up things and when I was doing this reading I feel a bit out of sorts a bit out of alignment doing this reading and it feels mostly because of this high priestess energy where you're kind of shut down I'm feeling this shut down energy you know usually I can just really get stuff out but I feel so much hesitation and I feel like you want to talk and you want to break stuff down and you want to like wake somebody up or have something happen but there's a lot of hesitation and you're just holding back you're not saying anything and there's something here where I just kind of feel like you're on the I see you on the edge of like a diving board you're not fearful but you're standing on this edge of this diving board and you're sinking about jumping in that water you're not scared but you can't turn back is what I feel there's something pulling you there's something drawing you to another path now whether like I said I'm not sure I'm picking up it's kind of like when you go into a room and there's like a hundred people and you hear all of these voices talking there's a lot of talking going around and it's drowning out the messages but I just kind of feel like there's a crowded room and if you know like in a crowded room or you're somewhere where there's a lot of people it's hard to think and so you're just staying quiet that's that's really what the energy is and I'm picking up here and I'm not exactly sure how that's going to resonate you guys might think about in my mind but that's fine we'll leave it the way it is all right Virgo I hope that you enjoyed this reading and please do hit like share and subscribe if you do and I will speak to you guys very soon all right take care

There it is. There it is. Got the Yeti. Love the Yeti. Hot drink after a long run. Nothing beats a hot drink. Mm-hmm. Okay, folks. Today's run in the Speedcross 4. This is the first video publishing today. Come back at 3 p.m. my time, mountain time, and I will be doing my full review of the Solomon Speedcross 4. Very excited for this review, so come back for that. Ladies and gentlemen, we're going to talk about a lot today, including avoiding overtraining as runners and what I like to do to avoid overtraining. Because guess what? I love training. I love running. I love miles. I love lots of miles and lots of vertical. So I got to be careful though, and it's called OTS, Overtraining Syndrome, and it can't, it is real, and it can happen to the best of us. So we got to be careful and I'm just gonna tell you now. I'm gonna tell you now I've been talking, I've kind of been walking around the subject for a long time, well, the last two weeks. Because of the sickness last week, I thought my running may be over, but I want for 2018, but I wanted to get one more run in this year, and you just witnessed it. That's it. I'm done. It's over. It's over. And so back at the house, we're gonna talk about my strategy for running on the macro level, how I plan out my entire year of running, what I like to do for breaks and for training blocks, and how basically important it is for training breaks. Different subject, the t-shirts. And this t-shirt first. Basically, I got this at a race. A lot of people liked it. Personally, this is the most comfortable shirt I've probably ever worn in my entire life. And a lot of people have asked who makes it. It's made by Toltex, T-U-L-T-E-X, Toltex. So that is the company that makes the t-shirt. And connecting to this t-shirt from Jeff. Thank you again, Jeff. Seek beauty, work hard, love each other. A lot of folks interested in this t-shirt. So again, I'm gonna update you back at the house about the game plan for this t-shirt. And there's just a lot of enthusiasm. And yes, it connects to this one as well. So bottom line, we're just moving ahead. We're moving ahead. And I'm excited for it. And we're back. And we're back. Alright, ladies and gentlemen, starting off by reading a comment that just came in today. And this is just how timing works on this channel. Like, I publish a video and it just seems to evoke stories from all of you that connect so, so well to the question of the day for the title of the vlog, just for the subject matter of that vlog. So we're going to, we're diving into Andrew's comment. It is a, it is a book Andrew. So I can't read the whole thing. I love it though. Just so you know, I'm not afraid of long comments. I read them all, but I can't read the entire thing. Here we go. I'm just going to start at the top. I love your videos. When I started running, I became so obsessed with becoming as fast as the next runner. And in doing this, I would compare myself to very advanced runners and become constantly worried and discouraged about the fact that I wasn't anywhere close to their level. This made me feel like I had to go hard every single day when I ran. Every single workout I did would be a hard workout. And I would feel like this was the only way to get better because all I ever heard in life was to work hard and grind, and grind hard and you'll get to where you want to get. So Andrew goes on and shares more about his stories.  In fact, you got to mix in quite a few easy days into your overall training plan and your overall macro level of 365 days a year training plan. And that's what I want to talk with you all about right now. Thank you, Andrew, for that comment in order to, and it connects directly to what we're about to dive into in order to avoid burnout as a runner. And listen, I love running. You love running. If we could run every single day for two hours, we probably would like we just, I just love, we love getting out there and pounding ground. However, our bodies are not made for that. We cannot sustain that long term.  You ready? I believe and here you go. If you want to take notes, now's the time. I believe you can peak for three races a year, maybe four, but more like three races a year where you are at your peak level of fitness. Right after a peak race, I like to take three to five days off. Now, if it's over a 50 miler, it's more, but that's down the road for future vlogs to talk about. I like to take three to five days off after my peak race. So if you're in high school and you just ran the cross country state championship, that would be a perfect opportunity to take three to five days off, probably five. In addition to that, to those rests, so that would be if you do the math, if you have three peak races a year, multiply that by let's just say five. That's 15 days off for the entire year. But this is where I like to add some additional rest that I'm not sure a lot of other runners do. And this is what I do to avoid burnout. I'm a little bit of a hobbit. Yes, I am. I like a good tea and coffee and a biscuit and second breakfast and a good book. And guess what? Christmas time is my time to rest and to not work and to just chill out and to read a good book and to just be and to listen to good music and just to be present to the family and just to rest. I just soak up those moments so, so much when I can rest around the Christmas season. So in addition to those days off after the peak races, I also personally and you might be wondering like, wait a minute, Seth, last week you talked about maintaining fitness during the Christmas season.  And yes, I'm about to tell you that I'm today was my last run for 2018 because I am taking the next two weeks off from running, from running. All right. So for me personally, this is and this is where I go inward and you got to know thyself, know your personality. And listen, I get it. Some people have to have to have a little bit of exercise every single day just to like be in a good mental state and to function and I get it. Even if it's a simple one mile walk, I respect that. For me, I don't do anything. I don't do any running. I don't do any biking, swimming, no cross training during these two weeks. Okay, well, I'm going to come to that in one second. So I take the two weeks off from running. The first week off, I do no running, no gym, no cross training. The second week, I add back in the gym, core work and so free weights, core work and maybe a teeny tiny bit of stationary biking, just a teeny tiny bit. And I add in the core work slowly, the free weight slowly in order to begin to build that foundation of strength, which I'm hoping is going to lead to better health for me in 2019. So I don't get plantar fasciitis again. So I'm laying that groundwork and that foundation for starting up running again on January 1st. So that is and now listen, during this first week off, I will still do light stretching, especially because of my planter situation this year. I don't want to take off stretching. I will still be stretching, but no aerobic work for the first week and then maybe just a little teeny tiny bit in the gym on a stationary bike the second week. And so that is my macro level resting strategy for an entire year about 15 days off depending on how many peak races I do and then two more weeks around Christmas. So that's that's basically if you do the math, that's about a month off out of every 12 months. So if you know that's a lot of running 11 months of running in a 12 month calendar cycle. And again, burnout, it can happen overtraining syndrome can happen probably been overtrained twice in my life once in college once after college, you know, running 120 plus miles a week. Usually you'll do it to me. You just you got to walk that line. You just got to know thyself and know how much stress you can put on your body. And more importantly, how to avoid overtraining. For me, it's that mental break. And I just I am a huge advocate of a mental break where I'm not tying my shoes every day, or I'm not thinking about the logistics of where I'm going to run that day.   I enjoy it. But it is part of the process now of running in the 21st century. And so it's all of that right from Strava, from the just the logistics, the stretching, the everything, the nutrition, the list, as you know, runners goes on and on and on. And of course, the tip of the day is build in if you could, if you would a longer break at some point within your annual training schedule. And more honestly, guys, more than the physical benefit of just letting your legs fully recover and you will be fully recovered in two weeks, unless you're like really over trained.  And I find no better time of the year to do that than in during the Christmas time. And I know we just talked about maintenance and maintaining fitness during this time. But at one last point, the amount of time that you take off, you can what will determine how much time you take off, I would say it's the distance that you're training for. So like if you're training for 5ks 10ks 100 milers, if you're training for 100 milers all year, I would recommend taking a little more than two weeks off maybe two and a half to three weeks really. And then if it's a 5k, yeah, maybe you can just take one week off. And it feel good about coming back after that week, like you're fully refreshed. So that's one thing. And then, frankly, your age. And I know it, you know, no one wants to talk about the rage. But when you're younger, you can recover a little faster. When you're, you know, 65, it might take a little more. Or if you're 45 or whatever it is. So keep that in mind as well.  It's all about that feeling that you're picking up through that sensory data. And the keyword of the day is rest. Oh, love that word. Love that. And the question of the day. Have you ever, and this is kind of tough. Have you ever overtrained? What was it like? How did you feel? How did you know you were overtrained? This is going to be fascinating to read your comments down below. And or part two, if you haven't overtrained, good job. But how do you, how do you prevent yourself from overtraining? So think about that. I'll just be I cannot wait to read your answers to that question of the day. I mean, that's a crazy big topic. And anyway, share your stories. And I bet a lot of people will learn from from your insights and your stories down below. So thank you. And that is today's vlog. That is the end of running in 2018. Thanks for coming along the journey. And guess what? We're still going to be here tomorrow, publishing another running vlog. So don't worry, I'll be back. I won't be actually running in the vlog.  See beauty, work hard and love each other.


on the ground. Presented by theCUBE, here's your host, John Furrier. Hello everyone, welcome to theCUBE's On the Ground. I'm John Furrier, the host of theCUBE. We're here with Todd Moore, Vice President of Open Technologies at IBM, Cloud IBM. Good to see you again, CUBE alumni. Hey, good morning. We're on the ground here. We're just getting the low down on the open, computing architecture, some of you guys are having the day after DockerCon, very good timing. Great to kind of sister up against that great event. Yes, absolutely. We have a lot of folks who decided to stay over just for the fact that they were able to come here and participate. And it's something that we've done a number of cities across the U.S., always well received and we have a lot of fun doing it. We bring in leaders from the industry and have them come and share with us. We've chatted on theCUBE before at a couple IBM events and I got to ask you, do you feel like a kid in a candy store now is the hair standing on the back of your neck with Docker, just the excitement of open source and the excitement of all the openness that's going on around. Real deployments of applications, not just feel like you're pushing excitement but in general it's mainstream. Huge difference, it's mainstream. We've seen this shift in enterprises that was dramatic here. It's not the days before where we use your open source if you indemnify us and help us and do these things. It's now we want to be out there participating with you. Yes, we're using it and oh by the way, it's in production and now come partner with us, help us, help us get further with it. And what other organizations are you starting and how can we join in and be part of that? In the old days you go talk to a customer, you find out what their needs are, build a solution, deliver it, charge for it. That's a nice business model in the old days. Now you guys are lowering the surface area to engage with customers. Certainly collaborating with open source is now a vehicle, not just on a pre-sales basis but in needs analysis. How has that impacted IBM's configuration of the tech teams, the go to markets? How has that changed? Well, we've taken a very open source approach to how we go and develop as well too. We have our own processes that we actually take out and people once they started getting into this said, well gee, how do you do it? And so we started sharing, right? And our processes are out there through things called Blue Mix Garages. But so it's greatly impacted how we do our development inside. But from a go to market perspective and the work that we do, everything I do in open source is always tied to a business need and a strategy and a business to go after a market and build a market. And we see these things as the centers of gravity that then go and build large marketplaces around it and partnerships. And it makes for an explosive growth experience and it sort of hang on and go with it. It's something amazing. The new, the old demand gen lead gen programs we're marketing now is open source. It's the coders themselves.  Absolutely. And some of these things that we do, OpenWisk is a project that we just put out in open source. OpenWisk is a serverless environment, some Lambda-like kind of thing and vent driven. We did the project out in the open before we even started working on the product inside that's now part of Bluemix. Big fan of OpenWisk, real potential with IoT for sure. Yeah, absolutely. And containers. And we just added in some neat things to make that even simpler, some support in Node-RED that we wanted to do as well as an MPM module now library to help you go and connect things up. For the folks out there, check out Wisk from IBM OpenWisk, really, really phenomenal. Developable works open, yeah, that's the site. I want to ask you about the cloud native computing foundation called CNCF, a fairly new organization, cloud native computing foundation. What is this about? This seems to be getting a lot of momentum organically. I know there's some big vendors in their suppliers, but it's not just a foundation where people are just high-fiving each other, there's some real work going on. Yeah, absolutely. I think I'm going to explain what that, this organization is. So we put this together with other big heavy weights like Google and ourselves and RedHats and the world because there's this gap in where cloud native computing is going. We all see that we can create the plumbing together and that there's good plumbing that is being reached in places and overlapping. And to do that just isn't something that we have to do. So what we're doing is working together now to define where we think the best practices and those things can be to foster projects that can be the next generation of where we take cloud native and to use the best of what's out there. So we actually brought together organizations like the cloud foundry organization and their service broker work with the cloud native computing foundation folks. And we're looking at that as being the service broker that we then work on together and promote and go and build. So it's things like that. We've brought the OpenStack foundation together with a cloud native computing foundation. So is the catalyst more interoperability? Interoperability, building out a fragmented, less fragmented, reduce duplication, use the best of what we have and build a vision out that customers and all the rest of the industry can get behind so that we move it quicker, faster, more interoperable, less vendor walking. What gap were you talking about? You said they fill in that gap. Is it just standardization or what specifically? Yeah, they become de facto standards, right? I think that's the important thing is it becomes de facto standards that happen. And you get that choice by getting feedback from the users who tell you what they like and what they want to see and the things that they pick. So how we're doing this is inviting in the users as well too to be part of this. We want folks to come join the CNCF and give us good feedback. Todd, I want to ask you about choice because this always comes up and we love talking about multi-vendor back in the old days. Now, that is ultimately the number one thing about that customers are looking for is they're not, they're kind of afraid to lock in kind of an older definition. But now you have a lot of stuff being developed by multiple vendors and they all have their own engine. They got to make money. They have a business model. But the choice is a big thing. How is the choice word for customers changed and how does things like the CNCF change? The choice, does it enable more choice and how is, are you guys fostering it? I think it enables more choice. Let's start with right there because I think that as we create interoperability between these various projects we then can see a container come from one environment, move into another as an example seamlessly without having to do anything. So I think those things are important. So choice, very important. But they're also looking for who's out and engaged in these organizations. Who can they partner with to go effectively then create the things, the functions, the features that they need or help them with problems that they have or help them stand things up. So that's become a big part of the actual picking who you work with and what you go and do and whose products you then actually use because much of this is a very large integration task and the early days of Linux you would go out and you would pick up the piece parts and create your own little internal distribution and maintain it. Well, you think about that replicated across all these different projects that now come together to build your platform. It's almost impossible to say on top of that. So finding someone who can help you go and do that that's really key. And that's why oftentimes IBM is chosen. So frankly, that's why we're in it. Well, you guys have such a great track record and open source and people who actually know you guys know you guys have a deep bench historically over the years but now heavily in cloud. So the final question I want to ask you is relative to customers, they love this new architecture of the cloud but speed is a big factor. It's going faster. How do you guys balance that? Because open obviously, it means everything's out in the open. Some would argue that open means slower. I would say maybe Foster's Agile, you guys are addressing this piece. Talk about that. I'll give you a really specific example. I'll use Node.js as an example.  Part of the issue there was speed. We had folks who wanted to get their latest features and functions into something to get them out, get feedback on them, see it going on. At the same time, we were trying to protect the user base with what it was needed, right? So what we came up with was a strategy called long-term stable release structure. So we alternate releases where we have, the release where everything can be in there and the kitchen sink. And then we, after a short period of time, we create the long-term stable release. And we have a very predictable cycle so that those who get on board and want to be part of this can either be on the stable side or they can play on the wild side and be there with what's the latest. They can walk on the wild side. No, but people would do that. They want to be agile. They want to push the envelope. Yes, and it makes the developers have a home for that outlet of wanting to push the envelope as well too. So that's how you do it. That's one of the best examples I've seen of being able to blend the two together. Well, certainly you guys done a great job with stability also, enabling the wild side and developers. And it's an application market. Todd, thanks for sharing insight on the ground. John Furrier on the ground. Thanks for watching.


Are you still watching Waze? Transgender Day of Visibility is an annual holiday observed on March 31 to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of transgender people as well as to raise awareness of the discrimination and violence faced by transgender community worldwide. Transgender Day of Visibility is an important opportunity to celebrate the diversity of gender identities and expression and to promote understanding and acceptance of the transgender community. You see no wonder I've been seeing a lot of posts on trans on my feed you know on Instagram where you just go and explore you just be seeing trans, trans, trans apparently it's this day that is causing it so I saw someone that said I don't want to identify any more as trans as whatever he wants to be identified as invisible so he becomes transparent like there's just so many things that is happening around the community yesterday I was watching I think I shared that video I was watching a video of how I think a man that raped a woman or something I can't remember now what the story was but he raps out there now are they saying they want to put him in a female prison or a male prison you know because now he has now switched to becoming a woman right so where would they put him somebody that was a woman he was a man that raped a woman and now changed himself to become a woman now I'm confused this transgender matter well people identifying as all sorts I think the other day I saw a man who said he was 69 identifying as 49 or something like that look it's a very slippery slope you accept one you accept all and in today's world of inclusion it seems like everybody's everybody's trying to find the politically correct term to accept everybody like I said it really is a slippery slope first and foremost you have people who have real emotional and emotional and psychological issues who obviously don't feel like they fit into the skin or the body that they're in you hear all sorts of stories so at this point you know you want to just say look it's black and white you're born a boy you're born a girl you're a girl but you know you hear some of the stories and clearly there's a problem now whether the answer is to go and change your gender that's between each person and their god but I think that it is when we start to get into the space of inclusion where you can choose to do you you can choose to make the change to you um but when it starts to have a direct impact on what others are then having to consume or to deal with um around it that's when it becomes difficult for people so I think we're in that adjustment phase where this is crazy would you did you see the video I shared about the the school the woman that brought a textbook that was found in a school library that talked that spoke to pedophilia it spoke to what's it called oral sex it's those kind of books right those kind of books are different problems that's not unique to that that's not necessarily a transgender problem I mean the fact but it's also linked to the is linked to the queer community now right and they are all inside that so so these books right I've seen different videos and different types of these books where you know your body and you know all of these things it I mean yes it refers to some gay some you know gender-based issues but it's not based on that do you see what I mean it talks about heterosexual relationships as well that one is a different problem that is just the inappropriateness of what is being um what is being made available to children at what age so that's a different conversation around protecting children and them being kids but when we talk around this transgender problem you know everybody's looking for representation if you look in the media today you watch movie there's hardly a tv show or a movie that you watch now that doesn't you know like really have um one of the representative of the queer community yeah presence right um and for me it's that thing that says you know arts and imitation of life so the fact is there's a proliferation of this um in the world and media simply represents so if you if you think about it I exist as a person in the way that I exist I want to see when I put on my tv I want to see somebody like me on tv that is the nature of entertainment and media and all it's supposed to represent the populace and we can't ignore you know that there has been an explosion in the world of the lgbtq community um and that is where that is coming from where people are essentially trying to give representation so I'm a child at home I have two dads when I put on the tell you I don't want to see just mom like it'll confuse me how I have two dads and everybody else on tv has a mom and a dad and start asking questions so these are the things driving it but I think that we're still in very very uncomfortable places where a lot of places and you know have accepted it and that it's becoming part of the culture where not the world is not quite there yet because obviously some places are more accepting than some um you know if when you talk about Africa a lot of African countries still have laws against um you know the whole lgbtq um you know trans and all of that so there is there is a it's a slow change for the changes happening whether you accept whether we accept it or not or not right absolutely all right so let me quickly run through what did we find in the news um my story is actually interesting because again when people are fasting they would be whether you know should they have sex should they know have sex you know so when I saw this I said okay this was quite interesting and imam at the federal university of a culture beokutam mosque you know had explained that muslim couple can have sexual intercourse during the month of ramadan but only after they have broken their fast and the clerical spoke with some of the correspondents of um punch said that he explained that he was only illegal for married couples to have sex um so he says it allows legally married couple to have intercourse between mowgrib and solatu that is after breaking the fast and after the pre dawn meal during ramadan because again I know that some christians you know these pastors have even spoken about this issue some christians have argued that when you're fasting you should be very holy you should be this you should be that and you know I mean body will be wood you know so I just want to tell anybody out there please don't starve your partner either male or female because you're having sex when you are broken your fast please do the do marry your what's in the news that's very weird but okay how is he weird go ahead um debi do is back on the scene he has released his new album which is timeless and in his interview on friday with bitter fem he said that he still feels them around him speaking about his lost um his loved ones there's a song dedicated on the album which is called legends can never die which is also one of the oldest songs on the lab album and his dedicated to everyone out there who has lost one or two close people he said like over time even everybody knows that I lost my mother at 10 losing my best friend and my bodyguard in one to two years and then losing a child and all that together I don't think the song I don't think the song is really being sad I just feel like since I have lost all of them I don't want to really feel like they have left me spiritually I still I still have them around me a kind of a kind of they were all legends so that's why I say that a legend can never die yeah I think his new album is making a lot of waves ute what did you find so mine is in the world of sustainability so my headline says Nigerians buy one million air conditioners annually and this is by the UN so the United Nations essentially is talking about the heavy reliance and how Nigeria has become one of the top markets for the sale of air conditioners as well as refrigerators and of course I mean we also see what the heat is like and how you know we're largely dependent on these devices however the concern here is with the energy efficiency ratio of course our viewers may know that you know of course first and foremost air conditioners consume a lot of electricity and the fluorocarbons that are used in the refrigerants in our refrigerators also deplete the also deplete the ozone layer so what the UN is essentially trying to say is that look there are standards that have been set globally and as in Nigeria we need to make sure that we're not dumping ground for devices that don't meet the energy the minimum energy efficiency standards of course if you go to buy these devices sometimes you see those ratings ABC color coded ratings around the energy efficiency of the device so it was really just a clarion call at an event um where they were calling on the federal government um around the federal government in response to that was calling on the Nigerians custom service the standard organization of Nigeria to ensure that they are in they are alive to their responsibilities to ensure that there isn't an influx of substandard substandard cooling devices or appliances um that would pose a danger to Nigeria of course if you compare Nigeria to the rest of the or to other parts of the world obviously climate change is a big issue and changes are being made globally around the efficiency of cars we see the proliferation now of electric cars we see bands of sorry yeah all this English is plenty let me tell you let me even if you have look at my old house I have how many air conditioners maybe like 10 only one they come on you understand because when the Nepal bill the power bill will slap you you will you will regulate yourself no but you see the thing about it is that that's always what you know of course in Nigeria our focus is on where it hits us and that really is in our pockets right um which is where I was getting to what I was saying that in other parts of the world where the climate is also a big drive for us you are not switching on your ac if you could afford it people who um can afford it you go to some people's houses their lights are all on their ac's are all on right so the fact is it does have beyond your pocket it has far far reaching consequences for the climate for the ozone layer so the fact is whilst the world is turning around to go into a net zero um on greenhouse gases Nigeria is not I don't even think we're there yet you know like you said this hunger when hunger is between you climate and the rest is not really your problem so the fact is we need to make sure that organizations who are responsible are ensuring that the best type of um equipment is coming into Nigeria because with the global warming Nigeria is only getting hotter well well in fairness to most of the recent brands right the newer brands that are coming into Nigeria I know that most of them you see all those signs you know the whatever free whatever whatever free thing you see it on the on the body of the product telling you that these are safer um what do you call safer equipment or appliances to use well it's a good thing to know you and thank you and Uti thank you for highlighting it we'll take a break now so when we come back from the break we want to discuss um the Chrisland issue stay with us and um link it up to how we can start the business of safety in schools stay with us we'll be right back


Let's go swimming. Let's go swimming. Okay, Judy says question Dating man for about six weeks and he definitely copied and pasted me in his future Is this too soon or a good sign? I Love this copy and paste me for those who are not familiar with the work of where is she? Allison Armstrong Allison Armstrong. She's a very sweet friend of mine.  I'm like I'm a matter of fact You know if I have a wedding to go to I'm like thinking how can I get her on the guest list? If I've got a trip plan I figure how can I get her to go with me on that trip? If I've got an event to go to I'm like Oh, how do I get that person to go with me and I start Describing it and this happens very early on this is because men when we like someone and when we're Enthusiastic we want to try it on for size to see if this person can fit into our life That's a great sign when a guy does that now for some of you that might feel like he's coming on too strong I'm gonna repeat that that might seem like he's coming on too strong and Yet some of the nicest high value high quality men do this so Is it a red flag that he might do it and I know that wasn't the question Red flags merely mean ask more questions. Just recognize this ladies when a guy is excited. That's a good thing If he's more focused on the sex, that's not a good thing. Okay, but when he's excited, that's a good thing That doesn't mean you two are right for each other It doesn't mean that you're the right relationship for one another, but that's certainly a good start Don't we want to be excited? Don't we want to get enthusiastic? Enthusiastic don't we want by the way women used to do this all the time they would be going Catherine as lay, you know Sharon as lay Tammy as lay trying out my last name on for size although my last name is a pain in the ass to say but So it's very common to feel and want those things so Cut and pasting I call it trying it on for size or Futurizing it's a very common thing men do It's not I just consider that a yellow flag not a not a red flag not a you know Not a green flag.  Thank you so much for that one. I really appreciate it
