Do you work at a company that gives insurance premium money to @UHC (United Healthcare) or @Optum? Go talk to your HR Leader & CFO. Demand better. $6B in profits last quarter. They’re doing this by driving out good doctors while restricting access to care. aha.org/news/blog/2021-07-15…

New Lancet paper:
"At a BMI of more than 23, we found a linear increase in risk of severe COVID19 leading to admission to hospital and death."
If a fraction of resources wasted on lockdowns were spent on fighting obesity, many more lives would be saved.

Sometime you should ask Dr Davis about that time she met @lancearmstrong while running along Barton Springs (spoiler: she didn’t actually meet him. She had just fallen flat on her face in the 60 seconds before he ran by and waved)
Remember how much fun races used to be? We kinda do but it’s been sooooo long. That all changed when we heard Decker Challenge is back on 12/20/20. Woo hoo!! eventdog.com/a/eventpage.php…

Seriously? Today was already an awesome day given the weather and the Longhorns opener. But then you go and write a post like that... and TOTALLY MAKE THE DAY EVEN MORE AWESOMER!

Years ago we’d go out to the trail when the weather was blazing hot or wicked cold/raining and hand out “Exercise Badass” awards. We did this until a random stranger called 3-1-1 & said that we were trying solicit users of the trail. This is why we can’t have nice things.

This looks like so much fun! We’re in.

@fitcityleblanc great article about San Marcos. We recently discovered the Irma Lewis Outdoor Center in Seguin, too. You should check it out - they have a MTB Skills Park!
On a day when it was so hot we could fry an egg 🍳 on the sidewalk in Austin, Kim Collison did a thing. Wow.
Congratulations to fell runner Kim Collison who has broken the record for the for the number of Lake District peaks scaled in 24 hours!
