Outside of work

Endurance running.

I train for and race half marathons and marathons. It's the same discipline as data work: show up, follow the plan, trust the process — the gains show up weeks later, not in the moment.

No spreadsheet or dashboard replaces just putting in the miles. Some of my best thinking on a hard data problem happens mid-run, well past the point of being tired of thinking about it at a desk.
