Training Is a Hopeful Act Sabrina Little examines how the virtue of hope can play into our running and lives.

❝Training 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.

When you send your children off to school and wonder how they are doing and whether they are making friends - That's what it feels like to have articles under peer review.

Shaping Character in the Presidential Fitness Test Physical education can be used to develop good habits of thinking, feeling, and acting. However, it is not always (or even usually) the case that we practice the right things.

I wrote about the reinstatement of the Presidential Fitness Test and described how a focus on physical training can shape the character of a nation in good ways (and bad ways).

Don't count out Sifan Hassan, you guys.

Come back to this post when she does something crazy (like stretch her legs out and catch up to win) towards the end.

The human condition is this: wanting to write while I’m running and wanting to run while I’m writing.

The Civic Value of Sports Sabrina Little examines how we learn lessons in civility through our running.

"Thankfully, running is a sport that, overall, has a constructive impact on character. Many of the traits that support success in distance running, such as the virtues named in this article, are compatible with a flourishing city."

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.

Bring your baby to work day?

I am explaining different theories of emotion, and my 5-month-old son is mesmerized.

There is an arbitrary point in a runner’s life when β€œlifetime miles” switch from being a source of assurance to a cause for concern.

47.78!! Unreal performance by Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone to win the 400m at the world championships. And in the rain no less. Marileidy Paulino pushed her all the way to the finish, and took second in 47.98.

They move to 2nd and 3rd on the all-time list. The nearly 40-year-old world record is 47.60.

I can’t 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 accidentally signed an email

Beset,

instead of "best," and I was tempted to keep it because it's also true.

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.

Remembering a few years ago when this was my attempted 100K race pace. Now it's an 8-miler. Don't despise the day of small beginnings, I guess! Looking forward to this rebuild back to form.

You Are What You Love: Running Edition Sabrina Little examines how her love of running shapes her as a person.

"Running is not my only love. ... My love of the sport has taught me a lot about what it means to love something. Our loves shape us, motivate us, and leave a mark on us. In the words of James Smith, we are what we love." – @sabrinablittle.bsky.social
