I’m frugal in 99% of my life except fixing my body and trying to keep it injury-free(ish).
Just over here justifying spending thousands of dollars on PT because I buy store brand cereal.

Incredibly fast. David Sinclair broke the men’s course record as well.
Rachel Drake wins the JFK 50 miler and becomes the first woman to break six hours on the course, running 5:57:32.1. She finished 10th overall. Results: runsignup.com/Race/Results...

Took a stab at this, let me know if you have anyone to add. (I imagine @deslinden.bsky.social is THE Des Linden, but I don't want to bombard some other Des Linden with a bunch of followers who are running fans. go.bsky.app/4XeF17W

Why are these so hard to find now? If anyone has ones they use for running, please let me know!
