Saw my race pic from last weekend’s trail run and thought, I look like death!
Then I remembered I’d spent the night in the ER with kidney stones, was running on zero sleep and by this point in the race, the lovely pain meds from the hospital had worn off and I wasn’t feeling especially spiffy.
I think this is probably my favorite race pic ever!!! It reminds me we can do hard things! Thanks to my friend, Donna for the terrific pic!!!🥰

Setting the goal to finish an ultra is as inspiring as it is reasonable.
But, first-timers shouldn’t enter the arena with the belief that this is a one-and-done proposition. Running coach Ian Torrence has some advice for those who are new to ultras:irunfar.com/newbies-guide-to…

It had a been a long block of shooting. Then this scene happened. @sharjilrasool rolled in with some beatboxing and nearly killed @trukimmy @StandUpAli @rakheecola and I from laughter. Seriously. It broke us. Here’s a super cut of the bloopers from this scene! #runtheburbs 😂😂😂 – at Toronto, Ontario

GREAT NEWS!🌊💙
The UN has finalised the High Seas Treaty, which will protect marine life beyond national jurisdiction.
This is a huge step forward for shark & ray conservation, as these species often migrate through areas that are currently unprotected.

This week we talk with @LewisHowes, author of The Greatness Mindset, about the fear of success, self-doubt, and how to let go of one's fantasy self.

It made me sad to see this "Assorted Tortoise" at @PetSmart in NYC yesterday. Not all tortoises are the same with respect to how big they grow & the care they need. I think these #animals deserve more care & respect starting before they're sold. #WildlifeTrade #reptiles #pets

Bred for endless puppies. Tied up on a chain. Down to just 12.5kg (25lbs). Unrecognisable as a Golden Retriever.
That was 3 weeks ago. I told Tina she'd get a special treat if she survived and got up to 20kg.
Today she got her 100 tennis balls...
