The better you get… the harder it gets to get better. So, if you’re struggling to see or feel improvement or progression…
I hope you don’t struggle to see just how good you already are. This is about running. This is not about running.

I refuse to run on a treadmill…thankful for a gym with a (short) indoor track! @coachbennett.bsky.social got me thru a tempo run on this snowy morning - thanks Coach!

Reviewing this. I couldn’t put it down. Piller has done a fantastic and diligent job detailing individual instances of fraudulent Alzheimer research, the resulting contamination of our field and the troubling complacency of research leaders about the problem. Landmark book that will make you angry.

Got a good running buddy. He did 7 miles today and definitely earned this nap!

Do caregivers burnout or become socially isolated? Seeing more and more posts on r/dementia with people experiencing the latter

Such an important discussion to have…both with yourself (the provider) and with your patient. Keep the important things first

Inside the plan to diagnose Alzheimer’s in people with no memory problems — and who stands to benefit People without memory problems could be diagnosed with Alzheimer's under a plan by an influential scientific panel dominated by members with ties to drug companies.

From pre-diabetes to #Alzheimer’s disease in the cognitively normal, there is an ongoing push to label healthy individuals as sick. Who benefits from this and who is harmed? One of my favorite med journalism articles of 2024 dives into the debate. #medsky

I tell everyone that we’ll all be “little g geriatricians” but we need more “capital G Geriatricians”
