In other vaccine news: I got my flu shot today! #yayscience
I was exposed to COVID at a doctor’s appointment last week. Fortunately, everybody was wearing a good mask, and I’m fully vaccinated. We isolated for a week just in case; test results came back negative this morning! This is how to take care of your community. #StopTheSpread

When I told my husband that this was a 5:47 mile pace, he said: "Well, I'm glad that's the *record*." 😂 #holysmokes
Congratulations @des_linden on breaking the 50K World Record in 2:59:54

We cancelled our plans to travel for Thanksgiving. We booked our flights, but had cancellations triggers (like increased restrictions), and when they were triggered, we cancelled. We will see family again next year.

If you haven't yet, take a minute and browse the posts under #TheBigSend. So many letters, from so many people. Over 150,000 of you have prepared 15.6 million letters to mail to voters tomorrow, and we're so proud of this community tonight.
Just used a @BlenderBottle to make a cocktail (#shakennotstirred) and, if that doesn't scream retired athlete, I don't know what does.
The best part of being out of shape? So much progress as you get back in shape! Last week —> this week.

Republicans have made SCOTUS nominations a brazen power play—first by refusing to a vote on Garland & now by forcing through a nominee a month before an election. I refuse to legitimize this broken, weaponized process by meeting w/any nominee put forward before the inauguration.

Love is more powerful than hate.
Hope is more powerful than fear.
Light is more powerful than darkness.
This is our moment. This is our mission.
One of my favorite things about @ChrisMurphyCT and @SenBlumenthal: by the time I get to picking up my phone to call them about an issue, one of them has already written/sponsored a bill or made a public statement in support of whatever I wanted to call about. #thanks
After a nice, long break from any sort of structured training or fitness building routine, I’m starting to work my way back, and it feels good. Just ran for 70 minutes and wished I was fit enough to go longer!

When running, it’s really easy to get caught up in the easiest measure to track: miles per week
When learning or teaching, it’s easy to get caught up in how many hours, days, weeks of instruction.
Neither measure ties well to performance. Yet we often get caught up chasing them
