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.

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).

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 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.
