Summary #8 for 2025-04-21

Hey Alex, happy Easter Monday! Hope you’re enjoying the public holiday so far. It’s just past 1:30 PM now.

Looks like you’ve got a Run: MP Run on the plan today, plus you’re starting your Start Running Taper. The good news is there’s plenty of daylight left for that 45-minute run – sunset isn’t until 8:07 PM. The slight snag might be the weather this afternoon, with chances of rain picking up between 2 PM and 6 PM, peaking around 5 PM. To dodge the showers, you might want to lace up now or hold off until after 6 PM.

Here’s a quick peek at the schedule:

• You had a Backend stand-up at 10:30 AM.
• The 11:00 AM Canceled: Frontend stand-up was indeed cancelled.
• You still have the 11:00 AM Frontend stand-up listed with different attendees - might be worth double-checking which one was the goer!

Why did the black hole break up with the white hole? Because it just couldn’t commit!
