The best way to get the most out of someone is to make them feel secure enough where they can take risks and fail.

Most of us don't reach our potential because we default to protective mode.

Threatening & demanding makes us protect further. Security and belonging frees us up.

This is massively disappointing, especially for the U.S. athletes who qualified for the team—Taylor Roe, Emma Grace Hurley, and Amanda Vestri in the half marathon, and Krissy Gear and Karissa Schweizer in the mile.

Remembering marathoner Sally Meyerhoff who died 14 years ago yesterday, killed by a motorist while cycling. She was just a terrific person, and was just 27 years-old. The motorist was never charged.

Training is practice.

What a blow. The announcement offers no reason beyond, "We really looked forward to welcoming the running world to San Diego this September but sadly it is not to be at this time.”

I want to be Monti when I grow up.

Friday vibes…

Brooks has carved a niche supporting successful runners in their 30s who don't want to be part of a formal training group. It's an interesting strategy and has paid off for them already (Erika Kemp, Susanna Sullivan, CJ Albertson, @deslinden.bsky.social, others)

Impressed by the hubs’ 24-miler yesterday! 🤯

Fun project tonight. 🎄🤫👀

12 hour work day but managed to squeeze in a nice 42 min trail run. Forgot my watch, which made it even nicer. 82 degrees in December? Yes, please. 🎄☀️

This is Jessica McClain, 32, Phoenix, AZ, in last mile of @nycmarathon.bsky.social finishing 8th place, 2nd USA 🇺🇸, 2:27:19 in her first world marathon major.

Was going to hold off on a lunch break trail run b/c I don’t currently have trail shoes.

But FedEx just showed up with my @brooksrunning.bsky.social order which means my first trail run of the fall/winter szn is a go! 😎

First time post-marathon that I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Slowly getting back to running, but that in itself is a win. 🤗

Love me a new social media platform. @bsky.app 👋👋
