βTraining is a hopeful act.
We can choose goals that are worthwhile and attainable, albeit challenging, and we can make good choices in pursuit of these goals long-term.

Running has a great deal to do with civility. It supports the flourishing of our community and forms us in ways that can make us better citizens.

There is an arbitrary point in a runnerβs life when βlifetime milesβ switch from being a source of assurance to a cause for concern.

They move to 2nd and 3rd on the all-time list. The nearly 40-year-old world record is 47.60.
Really terrible.
Need to check that out. Thanks!
I canβt overstate how much I loathe the Enhanced Games and the fact that running media is covering it and thereby lending legitimacy to the enterprise.

I was the mystery reader at my toddler's preschool this morning.
I thought about bringing in Language, Proof, and Logic or Being and Time for the kiddos. Ultimately, I went with Little Blue Truck.
Congratulations!
