Endurance sports are about figuring out how to get your body as close to complete exhaustion as possible.
Yet, endurance athletes seldom go to that place in practice. It's very rare. Even on hard days, you push, but have more in the tank.
Patience. Know when to push.

Happiest Book Birthday to @chuckwendig.bsky.social's The Staircase in the Woods! 🖤 I didn't let Vesper read it because it is too scary for her but she is disconcerted anyway. Also this book is excellent.

It’s a more extensive use of the app than previously reported and sheds new light on how commonly the Trump administration’s national security team relies on Signal.

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.

Yesterday, Elon Musk was asked by the GOP to come meet with members of Congress because, just like all of you out there, they are deeply upset by what he was doing.
The message from Senate and House Republicans – you need to involve Congress and do it right.

Trump backed GOP into a big corner with his “balanced budget” point.
The ONLY way House GOP could even think about upholding their “no cuts to Medicaid” swing seat promises and their spending cut mandates is deficit spending and bad math.
Now they have to gut Medicaid & hand it to Elon in public.

Yared Nuguse's world record from the Millrose Games lasts just four days before Ingebrigtsen takes a second and a half off it.
He split 3:29.63 through the 1500m to break his own 1500m indoor world record in the progress.
