View English version below Hola, ¿Quién se anima a empezar el lunes corriendo al amanecer desde Glòries hasta el mar? 🌅🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ #¿Qué hacemos? Quedamos en Glòries a las 07:00. Después de un breve calentamiento, salimos a correr tranquilamente bajando por la Rambla del Poblenou hasta llegar al paseo marítimo. Seguiremos corriendo junto al mar y terminaremos la salida en la playa, a la altura de la Rambla del Poblenou. Allí, quien quiera podrá darse un chapuzón rápido en el mar para empezar el día con energía — traer bañador y toalla si os animáis. Después, con quienes no tengan prisa, iremos a tomar un café cerca antes de empezar el día. **#¿Qué nivel necesitas?** Ninguno especial. Esta salida está pensada para todos los niveles: si estás empezando a correr, si quieres ir tranquilo/a o si ya corres habitualmente, eres bienvenid@. Puedes correr de 5 hasta 10km en función de tú ritmo. La idea es correr de forma social, sin presión, y adaptarnos a los ritmos del grupo. Si somos bastantes personas, nos dividiremos en pequeños grupos según ritmo. Ritmos orientativos: * Tranquilo: 6 – 7:30 min/km * Medio: 5 – 6 min/km * Más rápido: 4 – 5 min/km **#¿Precio?** La actividad es gratuita. #¿Sabías que organizamos salidas a la naturaleza con guías profesionales?

We meet in Glòries at 07:00. After a short warm-up, we start running at an easy pace down Rambla del Poblenou until we reach the seafront. From there, we’ll continue running along the beach promenade and finish by the sea, near Rambla del Poblenou. Whoever wants can enjoy a quick refreshing dip in the sea — bring a swimsuit and towel if you’re in. Afterwards, for those who are not in a hurry, we’ll go for a coffee nearby before starting the day. #What level of running is required? No specific level is required. This run is open to all levels: whether you’re just starting, want to run at a relaxed pace, or already run regularly, you’re welcome. The idea is to keep it social, relaxed and pressure-free. If we are a bigger group, we’ll split into smaller groups depending on pace. Approximate paces: * Easy pace: 6 – 7:30 min/km * Medium pace: 5 – 6 min/km * Faster pace: 4 – 5 min/km #Price?

Let's back to run ! We will meet by the Magic Fountain (Font Magica de Montjuic ([https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2](https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2))) - Plaça de Carles Buïgas at the end of the first stairs - just 2 minutes walking from placa Espana towards Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. We'll decide the route on the day.. or just follow Olivier... ;) We'll meet at 7:30pm but we'll start running at 7:35pm. Please be on time. Normally we do about 8-10kms in an hour during which we climb to the castle at the top of Montjuic. The accumulated elevation is about 300m depending on the route. Note that this is *NOT* a beginner's run. It can be quite challenging. We recommend that you only join this run if, on a flat course, you can do 10km in 50mins or less or really like running up hill! If not it might be better to first start with one of the beach runs on Tuesday or Thursday. Starting from October it is getting dark pretty early and not all the streets of the route have lights. If you have a headlamp please bring it with you but it is not mandotory. Let´s do the entire route together and after the training we can go as usual for a fresh drink at a bar nearby De vuelta en el Montjuic ! Quedamos en la Plaça de Carles Buïgas (donde está la Font Magica de Montjuic), exactamente aquí ([https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2](https://goo.gl/maps/RWPuTcn8htM2)), al lado de la barandilla que está al final de las primeras escaleras. Si vienes desde plaça Espanya, son 2 minutos caminando en dirección al Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Cada lunes hacemos un recorrido distinto por Montjuic que decidimos en el mismo día… o sencillamente seguimos a Olivier… ;) Nos encontramos a las 7:30, y empezamos a correr a las 7:35. Normalmente hacemos más o menos 8-10 km en una hora, subiendo hasta el castillo en la cima de Montjuic, con un desnivel positivo total de cerca de 300 metros. Es un entrenamiento exigente aunque accesible si ya tienes algo de experiencia corriendo. No está hecho para debutante. Por favor apúntate solo si puedes correr 10km en 50 minutos mas o menos. De octubre a mayo el recorrido es de noche por lo que es recomendable llevar frontal, aunque si no tienes, no hace falta. Realizamos todo el recorrido juntos y después del entreno solemos ir a tomar algo a un bar cercano. Monday is Montjuic track example [https://www.strava.com/activities/926870931](https://www.strava.com/activities/926870931) [https://www.strava.com/activities/5431087155](https://www.strava.com/activities/5431087155) [https://www.strava.com/activities/5275162408](https://www.strava.com/activities/5275162408) OIivier

A relaxed, beginner-friendly run/walk social focused on movement, community and feeling better. This is not a serious running club for elite athletes, nor is it a hardcore bootcamp. The idea is simple: get outside, move your body, meet good people and build healthier habits in a supportive environment. We’ll cover around 4k together using a structured run/walk format guided by qualified personal trainer Mike Maddox, with regular walk breaks so nobody feels left behind or under pressure. This group is designed for adults who are comfortable walking for around an hour and want to improve their fitness in a relaxed, social way. **Perfect for:** • People getting back into fitness • Busy professionals and parents • Expats looking to meet people • Anyone wanting a healthier routine without intimidation • People who don’t feel comfortable in traditional fitness spaces English-speaking, but everyone is welcome 🇬🇧🇪🇸 No pressure. No judgement. Just movement, fresh air and good people. **Session location:** Poble Nou **Meeting point:** End of Rambla Poble Nou, as you enter the park on your way to the beach **Rules / Schedule:** We stay together as a group. We begin with a warm-up walk before moving into light jogging intervals with regular walking breaks, depending on the level of the group. There is no set pace and no competition. We move, walk, jog and chat together. After the session, we’ll cool down, stretch, and maybe grab a coffee nearby for anyone who wants to stay and socialise. A short health questionnaire must be completed before attending.

We will meet at La Querida, Passeig de Pujades 33, [https://goo.gl/maps/u5ZpycVXeZb7XyeE9](https://goo.gl/maps/u5ZpycVXeZb7XyeE9) You can leave your stuff there and we will begin running from outside the bar. A description of the route is below for your information. Before the run, we take a group photo and after we drink and/or eat at the bar (not mandatory). We will chat a bit before starting to run. The distance is about 10 kilometers (\~6 miles). However, there are plenty of opportunities to turn back before and sometimes people run a shorter distance. Each person runs at her/his own pace. Most of the time people are talking/chatting so it's honestly a casual run. Mini groups tend to form according to pace. Please note people run at their own risk and please if you have any medical condition make sure you let someone know and be sensible, run within your abilities. And don't forget to check our [facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/319006355235925/) for news and activities! We kick off by running into the Ciutadella Park via the main gate. We then take a right to exit the park and immediately take a left to run alongside the round wall of the zoo (Passeig de Cicumvallacio). We then turn right at Carrer de Ramon Trias Fargas and head towards the beach. We then take a left turn and run along the beach heading northeast. Along the coast, we cross the Passeig Maritim de la Mar Bella for a quick stop at the water fountain and then turn back. The main change on the way back is that we turn right at the tram station along the other wall of the zoo (continuation of Carrer de Wellington) and once we reach the end of the wall, we are back to Passeig Pujades where we end our run.

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!

Join us Tuesday (6/2) at 6:30 pm as we hike the Hundred Acre Woods in Westerville. This is a beautiful trail that is filled of hills and roots but a picturesque wooded landscape to hike. Wear your hiking boots if you have them. We will do 2 loops of the 1 mile trail.

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!
