We are tremendously saddened to learn of the passing of Boston Marathon icon Dick Hoyt. Dick personified what it means to be a Boston Marathoner, finishing 32 races with son Rick. We are keeping his many family & friends in our prayers. bit.ly/DickHoyt

NEW RECORD! 👀
@TexasTFXC's @tar___ruh jumps 6.93m/22-9 on her third attempt in the women's long jump to set a new #NCAATF collegiate record!
Same. I miss group runs and have gotten much slower. But I started rowing again a few times a week and attend zoom classes. I'm hoping when I feel like running more again I'll have a solid base to not get injured.
Tightrope by Kristof and Wudunn. It's about how the "middle class/low class" has been losing ground since the 70s and includes research based examples of how education, support, and training could drastically improve our country.

✅Wash your hands
✅Stay home when sick

i just don't understand how a university that charges 15k+ per year for tuition cant figure out how to keep a team around that at base level really only requires travel costs and a coach... there wasn't any better options? are they really saving that much money....
I sort of want an elliptigo. How does your speed/effort on it compare with running/cycling? Could you add a basket for a quick run to the grocery?

Sir, you have outdone yourself.
In his first track race since 2017, Mo Farah breaks Haile Gebrselassie's world record for most distance covered in one hour, logging 21,330m (13.25 miles) in Brussels to break Geb's mark of 21,285m. That's 4:31 mile pace for an hour.
After the race, he took a knee on the track.

Another positive update on @tommy_rivs’ cancer battle from @kimpuzey
“The CT Scan revealed a tumor reduction of more than fifty percent which exceeded expectations... The physicians are being contacted by medical journals because his progress is such a rarity”
My friend and I had this conversation last night about how it's so interesting going for a run can be scary. I'm proud you did it and thanks for sharing. It helps the rest of us to know we're not alone in that feeling
