I would love to hear commentators throw these around while announcing criteriums and cyclocross races.
Be kind to your body. It is always doing its best for you, keeping you alive and whatnot.
When you missed training because you were sick, that doesn’t mean you got a week off the bike.

In pushing so hard against the parts of ourselves we don’t like we over-identify with them and give them additional power. Better to accept and even laugh at them. Paradoxically, this gives us the best chance to change.
Basically, drop the weight.

Fond memory of JA:
After swim practice one day at Stanford, we ran into JA w/Mr. Avery checking out construction of Avery Aquatic Center. They were both so kind. JA asked if we were heading to the dining hall for dinner. We said yes. He said, not if you don't want to! ...

It is such a fond memory from my time at Stanford. It still blows my mind that he dropped a few hundred dollars apiece on a bunch of random athletes on a whim.
More importantly, at a time I was feeling intense imposter syndrome, he made me feel like I truly belonged there...
Some thoughts as you wade through diet ads in you post-holiday social feed.
Remember, it’s not what you do between Thanksgiving & New Year’s Eve; it’s what you do between New Year’s Eve & Thanksgiving that most impacts health. Also, it’s a pandemic. Be gentle with yourself.
Food fuels performance and provides needed nutrients. But far too many of us moralize what we eat in the name of performance, with profound impacts on how we relate to food. TrainerRoad’s @ambermalika offers a different perspective. buff.ly/3qIOkUJ

This is an important, heartbreaking read. I went through Safe Sport certification & like Karelle was astonished at how triggering it was. I’d seen/been subjected to so much abusive behavior - much of which is normalized in sport. But it is never ever okay. oiselle.com/blogs/oiselle-bl…
Lovely piece by @MildredLocke for @Cyclingnewsfeed on cycling while pregnant, featuring yours truly. Plenty of takeaways relevant to not-pregnant people too! cyclingnews.com/features/ind…
Just wow: the stunning truth of this sentence.
“The answer lies in how much our society invests in disappearing the violence of beauty culture.” nytimes.com/2021/10/16/fashi…
The energy it takes to fend off an incessant stream of ads and social feeds inviting us to “fix” our selves is at best a harmful opportunity cost. We’ve long known it causes psychological harm.
100% me. Shoutout to all my dear friends who constantly forgive this in me. ❤️
