Last night Anna Troup won the ladies race of Race Across Scotland, finishing 4th overall.
This after outright winning the summer Spine Race in June.
After nearly 3 years out with injury.
Oh, and she's 55 for anyone thinking age makes the slightest difference in ultra events.
Inspirational!

For six months, I've said that threats to economic data have been more collateral damage than intentional harm.
No longer.
Firing the head of the BLS is five-alarm intentional harm to the integrity of US economic data and the entire statistical system.
