This is why we @Strava - I may not have made it to the start of my first marathon in over 4 years, but Miss Emma’s mislabeled bike ride reminded me that I actually still had 5 screenshots worth of segment records in Central Park!!! 🥰🥰🥰
This episode of @NPRinvisibilia was published while I was recovering from a blighted ovum miscarriage - my 3rd miscarriage after 2 chemical pregnancies prior to having my son. (1/7)

If women could choose to induce their period a few days earlier each cycle, they could in theory time their cycle better for rare target events (like the Olympics), reducing the negative impact that an otherwise very beneficial natural cycle can have on performance. (6/7)
POV: This young man ran his first track race ever 2 years ago. Now he’s the @nike National champ in the Mile. This is only the beginning, @Knoxyoung24. Thanks for taking me along for the ride!
.@Knoxyoung24 is doing his part to put SC back on the running map, but he wouldn’t be here without the prior investments of @FurmanXC and @GTCTrackClub who have attracted so many high level runners (turned coaches) to the upstate, including myself! 🫶 ny.milesplit.com/videos/6251…

This hit me so hard when I was listening to @laurenfleshman audiobook version of #goodforagirl that I had to buy it in print.

This is my kind of #WorldCup2022 coverage.
Japan lost in pk’s. It’s hard to be a sensitive human being and a the sports fan. @GlennonDoyle
Timing systems are still important bc otherwise it would be mayhem, but times could be listed only in terms of how many seconds behind the leader each person finished.

I’m now fully on board w/ abolishing timing in XC races. HS & NCAA meets are getting out of hand, you’ve got courses w/ nearly a quarter mile difference between them labeled as the same distance. Then everyone talks about what time they ran 🙄 okay but how many people beat you? – at Beaumont, TX
Watching @allie_ostrander share priceless experience and insight into eating disorder recovery and @YouTube keeps breaking it up with weight loss ads. This is totally messed up and not okay.

After a good 10k performance people will ask “yeah but are you really in marathon fitness?” Before Saturday’s race I hadn’t run one mile rep in practice under 5:20 and then averaged 5:08 per mile for the 10k. Some training is a beautiful combination of strength, miles and faith.
Needed help to relax my wild, yet well-intended Pit Russell mix, so today I filled his Rx for Prozac
@Walgreens receipt said $32 but I “saved” $78 with @GoodRx
@Chewy sells the SAME meds for $4.50.
How does $110 = $4.50??? 🤯🤬
#healthcare is so broken.
