Yes, I found that working had the benefit of structure. It was like, jump on it and do it now or you miss out. With no pressure to jump on things, I'm finding that it is so easy to let things slide.
Like your 80 y,o. inspiration, I had the pleasure of running a workout with my son a few weeks ago. We did stay together, but I was huffing and puffing (a lot) and he was forcibly going slow after a grueling very long trail run the day before. That was bad enough, but the spouse took a vid of us running by, and it wasn't pretty. I've been working diligently on stride mechanics and running efficiency ever since seeing that. It is help, too, btw.
But what I think about is this - we both got into running when he was only about 4 or 5, almost 20 years ago. For years we found reasons to run together and it was me holding back for him to not get left behind. Eventually, we got about even, and we would do little fun sprints to challenge eachother.
Well, since then he's become a really fit, strong runner, and while I have a self image of being one as well, there is no mistaking the difference. And the progression to this point has been an eye-opener.
Anyway, no shame in aging. I always wanted him to do his best, and if that means that I need to also in order for him to understand that, so be it.
Seattle,
My son got into power lifting, gained quite a bit of weight. So I think I can take him on anything over 400 meters. On yesterday’s track workout a youth group was training, and I am sure the side by side comparison was a stark one.
I too work on mechanics, shifting cadence on intervals, something I learned from Mihaly Igloi. Some reps with higher knee drive, short arm lever and shorter stride. Others longer stride, less knee drive. Run tall, chin up, eyes focused out, hips level, and so on. I also find it beneficial to vary speed and distances in sets. Hills would accomplish some of the same goals for mechanics. Especially if one added bounding. When racing anything mile and under I incorporate sprint drills, high knees, A/B skip, foreleg reach, carrioca, etc.

Igy, that is very comrehensive. Keep up the good work.
You know better than anyone how this pays dividends in one's form and ability, as well overall health.
You've spent a career inspiring runners, and it sure sounds like that doesn't need to end anytime soon. That's a good thing.
Thanks. I still coach a small group of masters runners. One is quite talented W60 runner. She was a 2:36 marathoner as a youngster, won Honolulu and CIM. If she stays healthy, and gets a pair of super shoes she will be tough to beat in Sacramento this July. She makes me look good, and as talented as she is, still very coachable.

Here's another take on the SOFR chart. This time the 3 month Dec SOFR is the scarlet line and is about 95.13 (4.87%). The ebony line is the July crude oil WTI.
I think Sally was saying a few months ago he expected to see Nvidia at 1,200. At the time, I thought that would be a reach, though not impossible.
Well, looks like he was right, as of this morning.
Incredible.
I told my wife yesterday that NVDA is going to 2,000 by year-end.
This guy may help you realize that claim.
CNBC - Elon Musk ordered Nvidia to ship thousands of AI chips reserved for Tesla to X and xAI wrote:
Elon Musk says he can grow Tesla into “a leader in AI & robotics,” an ambition that he’s said will require a lot of pricey processors from Nvidia to build up its infrastructure.
shocking, really. The stock market is an amazing machine. And we live in an enormously wealthy time.
Not fact checked, I should say so might not be true:
"Over the past 32 trading days, NVDA has gained more than $1 trillion in market cap. To put that into some sort of perspective, the 6-week gain is greater than the total market cap of BRKA, which Warren Buffett has spent 6 decades in building."

Looks to be accurate. The market cap for Berkshire is $800 billion.

I remember when Exxon and Wal Mart were fighting it out for the most valuable company as far as market cap. They both had about $400 billion. Times have changed.

Even looking at this stage in terms of just the tech sector, the whole internet/ tech. story has been fascinating. And I have to say, as interesting as the story has been, starting in the mid-nineties with the start of this investing wave in this sector, the full promise doesn't seem to really have reached full realization until the maturation of this AI emergence. That is something of a surprise in that the sector may have taken that long to reach such a significant groundswell.
