Another week another update

Last week felt pretty dreamy, with every effort being either fast or long. Smashed goal pace on a 7x400, got 3 miles at 10k pace, and enjoyed perfect conditions for an 8 mile “long run”

Going over 20 this next week

16.5 miles run and 1 lap (again)

In a heathy democracy, the WHCA would fight this by boycotting all WH and travel events until the old system was restored.

But they’re going to roll over and do whatever it takes to maintain “access” so they can be lied to in comfort
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announces that the White House Correspondents' Association will no longer choose the pool reporter.

"Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team."

Week 4/36 of structured training done.

This week I really felt the benefits of speed work, feeling much more comfortable at higher intensities, with more muscle soreness than tendon. Going forward, definitely need to balance things with more easy running.

17 miles run + 1 uphill lap.

A closer look at federal records shows Musk’s claims are vastly overstated, and the $55 billion figure lacks any real documentation. Share to help stop the spread of misinformation.

Even before this regime took over I’ve wondered why anyone from anywhere in the world would think the US offers a better life. I certainly wouldn’t be here if I had options to get out.
By turning the United States into an oppressive, economically barren theocracy, Trump has substantially reduced the number of migrants seeking to enter the country.

A little delayed, but week 3/36 is in the books.

This week was a much-needed down week with a 5k time trial at the end.

The good: broke my DNF streak and all around my legs felt much better after the hard effort than other weeks.

Not so good: no skiing, no riding

11 miles run

Less good: missed uphill skiing on Friday morning.

I’ve gotten death threats from extremists for writing about extremists. Especially for mocking them.

Maybe you shouldn’t take an oath to support and defend the constitution if you’re going to stop as soon an incel from Fort Wayne sends a misspelled email.
Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"

2 men under course record in this year’s black canyon 100k. 3rd place missed the previous CR by just over a minute. 1-2-3 all get golden tickets.

Tremendous pace through the first 2 hours of the black canyon 100k. Incredible progression in the sport on display.

All the orgs lifting people out of poverty are left wing? And there aren’t any right wing NGOs doing similar work USAID could fund instead?

🤔

I wonder why?
Translation: What we said originally about our reasons for doing this was bullshit, we really wanted to dismantle a federal agency by fiat for ideological reasons.

1/ ❗Really chilling.

Thanks to Sen. Mark Warner, for releasing Memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge.

-Memo is a clear abuse of power and weaponization of DOJ
-Memo bolsters FBI lawsuits filed today. VERY clear the list is for retaliatory purposes
