More shots from the run on Long Beach in Pacific Rim National Park

I stopped sharing running pics&videos, but I wanted to share the one from today from Long Beach to bring a bit of peace and say "Happy Friday". 🙏

A lovely West Coast Style #IPA from #HonyeBrewing -- a fitting reward after a day of battling in the pits with granting agency web portals. #CraftBeer 💪

Can of beer labelled Among Giants from Hoyne Brewing. Beer is poured into a glass and is set in front of a window with plants and a mantle clock visible in the background.

Kickass cortado from Big Wave Cafe in #Ucluelet to fuel that afternoon grant writing sprint - and the oatmeal cookie helps too 😁

Lovely #CraftBeer from TheEstablishment Brewery (Calgary), to complement a prairie run in Lethbridge. "the sweet things in life".

A lovely august #HazyIPA from #BrewingAugust in the early days of July, thinking about the next month. Okay.. I'll stop and sip now 😀

Lovely IPA In a glass with deep yellow colour next to a can with Brewing August Hazy IPA written on the multicolour can.

Glorious day in #Ucluelet on the #WildPacificTrail. Majesty of the ocean highlighted by vibrant #WildFlower blooms. 🙏 Peace y'all ❤️

A little mid-week treat for myself - a good day with a lovely run in the sun, end of term grading done, and a successful Master's thesis defence for our team member Anis Zahedifard. 🎉 #CraftBeer Cheers, y'all. 🍻🙏

Driftwood Brewing Son of the Morning Golden Ale can, poured into a glass - afternoon sun reflecting of a white stone counter. Demon character on a can - 10% alcohol! Eek.

I tried curling once and learned my lesson well.

Wonderful Belgian Quad for a Friday night treat from Trading Post Brewery in New Westminster, BC. #CraftBeer

Can of beer next to a beer glass - beer in the glass, malt brown colour - a little flower arrangement is visible behind the glass.

A nice morning walk where the fog off the inlet helped to reduce some of the noise, rather than impede the way. #peace 🙏

Foggy scene over Burrard Inlet near Port Moody. Remnants of an old logging mill stick out of the water with a lone Blue Heron perched on one of the poles.

Thanks, Gunnar! Keep on rockin’ in 2026

Second, I completed my first half-marathon in more than a decade. This meant a lot because it was my first big test after quad tendon reattachment. It was a glorious run in Tofino along the Pacific Rim Highway and out to Chesterman Beach. I loved every minute of it 🥰🙏. 2/2

Me running on Chesterman beach wearing a red water pack on top of a blue running shirt. I look almost content.

As 2025 winds down, I'd like to reflect on the good things that happened this year. We've been flooded with bad vibes, so it helps to remember the shining moments. I'll share two. First, it was a great year for our lab, where we christened 3 new PhDs: Phil Johnston, Leanne Rokos, & Alex Samson. 1/2

It is worth noting that this has been a policy, albeit one that has been weakly enforced. With unbridled increase related to LLM use, they'll need be more stern. This is from the arXiv site:

Is this a policy change?

Technically, no! If you take a look at arXiv’s policies for specific content types you’ll notice that review articles and position papers are not (and have never been) listed as part of the accepted content types. Review articles and position papers have, in the past, only been accepted at moderator discretion, because the few we received were of high quality and of interest to arXiv readers and the scientific community at large.

Post u from a different era. Red Deer, AB. Preparing for my first scientific conference 😉

The fun thing about being a runner is collecting weather apps that give you equally ambiguous forecasts. "Rain, rain, slow down, eh. Randy needs to run today" 😂
