Been thinking about using random-but-deterministic images on our #LaraconAU badges this year, and when I asked @taylorotwell.bsky.social how he did it he said "Vibe code it"
Here's the result of Laricon; vibe-coded and live on Laravel Cloud

Uninstall the Brew version, go into services in Herd's UI, right click MySQL, and click Symlink, then reopen your terminal

800km! I just hadn’t realised I was at 800km on the last pair already until I started getting sore. Coincided with adding distance and warmer weather
I set my Strava reminder to 700km so I don’t leave it so late next time ha

May have found the source of my knee pain. Ran 6km this morning, but “felt” contact with the ground in the front of my foot as it rolled.
Time for new shoes, better support ought to mitigate the knee pain.
Didn’t think I’d covered as much ground in them as I had.

How will we get gold like this otherwise? The NBA has bigger problems with their product than the coach’s challenge, though 😂

Pretty sure this will be my last run, I think I’ve ground out whatever cartilage was left in my knee
Didn’t make it past 10km, and that was a real struggle, too 😭
Better get good at swimming faster

Somebody decided to turn the heat up the same day I decided to turn the distance up. 7km started to struggle, 9.25km I had to walk for about 500m, then finished.
Was aiming for ~6min/km, which came unstuck around that walk sadly.

New 10km PR after a “week off” (skipped my two mid-week 5km to recover a bit after feeling a bit stiff and sluggish.
I still felt stiff and sluggish, though 😅

Somebody turned the temperature up a couple degrees on my run this morning - and I felt it. Recovering in a radox bath 😅
No pace PRs, but set a kilojoule record, so that’s something!
