Austin Adventure

I was invited again to the PE Summit Connect for North America in Austin, Texas. The summit was held in the Google Austin office on May 22-23, 2024. It was a smaller than the global one but it was a great experience to meet fellow Product Experts and learn more about relevant topics.

Celine and I extended a few days after the summit. Our first goal was to watch the bat colony fly after sunset but we were only able to see around 2-4 bats. We visited the Texas Capitol and Bullock Museum. The weather was hotter and more humid so we only did a few walks, along the Ann and Roy Butler Hike and Bike Trail and Rainey Street. And of course, we tried different barbecue spots and the hamburger from Whataburger.

I'd love to go back soon, especially when the weather is better.

8k at BMO Vancouver Marathon 2024

After my two  half-marathons at BMO Vancouver Marathon, I decided to try their 8k. I have never run one before as I only did 5k, 10k, and 16k, aside from the half marathon.

My goal for this run is to do it in less than an hour or a little faster than my 10k. I finished my run in 50:30 (chip time).

It was a different experience for me. However, I'm hoping I can do the half marathon again next year.
