Marathon Training Day 31 | NYC, Falling Off, Getting Back on Track

A life update, a trip to New York, marathon training, getting back on track, and a little AI conversation. I recently spent a week in New York working remotely, staying with my cousin, joining the Gymshark Run Club, meeting an online mutual for the first time, and somehow turning a 5K into a 5-mile run. After a hectic few weeks of family visiting and traveling, I realized I had fallen out of my normal routine. My eating wasn't on point, my fitness routine wasn't consistent, and I gained some weight. But instead of letting that become my identity, I used it as an opportunity to learn more about myself and what happens when life gets overwhelming. In this vlog, I talk about getting back into my routine, marathon training, my current supplement routine, running almost 6 miles, and why I'm finally making an appointment to get my breathing checked before my marathon. I also get into something I've been thinking about a lot lately: AI, creativity, and what it means to stay human in a world that's becoming increasingly digital. As someone who studies AI, I believe our curiosity, experiences, creativity, and ability to express ourselves are what make us uniquely human. And finally, let's talk about the shift from minimalism to "maximalism" and why people are starting to crave offline experiences again. Flip phones, digital cameras, iPods, physical media, and separating our identities from our phones. Basically, this vlog is a little bit of everything. Fitness, running, lifestyle, AI, digital culture, and a lot of me yapping.
