2nd (and last (for real this time)) marathon in the books. Didn't get the time I was shooting for, but I did the damn thing. Now to go eat my weight in poutine.

Can all of the people bitching about Indiana's schedule last year speak up about Miami? Not a single power conference team on their schedule, closest is Notre Dame.

It's race day. LFG!!!!

And marathon training is done! 330.1 miles down, 26.2 to go. Toronto, here I come!

If they're going to call the soft ass DPI, what about the multiple holds on the o-line?

Ball don't lie!!!

@splitzoneduo.com Adding to the Fall Wedding Discourse ™️, in addition to being a good thing because you get to celebrate loved ones, sometimes (aka yesterday) the wedding is at 4pm Eastern and saves you from watching Michigan lose to Iowa in that manner so that's a nice little bonus.

[Benoit Blanc during a Reacher Christmas episode crossover] Listen, son, I myself am of the conviction that violence is the crude weapon of an incurious mind, but I will admit that my gigantic friend here makes the most convincing argument I've yet heard on the virtues of expediency through force.

Living my best life as warm furniture for Odin. This absolutely is the dream.

Marathon training plan called for a time based run vs distance today. Did the scheduled time and finished at 9.98 miles run. Gonna need some time for my OCD to process this one.

Everyone laments that being an adult means you need to decide what to eat for every meal forever, but the upside is if you have leftover taco meat and mac n cheese, you can combine them into tacos and no one can stop you.

Feels like an easy win for ESPN to do this like a mock draft. Don't have the official committee release anything, have a panel of talking heads put together what they think the rankings should be, then have a segment where they discuss it. That way the actual committee can do whatever at the end.

@coachbennett.bsky.social listening to the newest episode and just got to the part of tying a fartlek to your playlist and the music's tempo... Absolutely love that idea and can't wait to try it!

Beautiful full moon to help light my 5am run

40 minute easy run with some strides is in the books, training block for the Toronto Marathon has officially begun!

I love that the Kawhi Leonard scandal is basically about fake NIL. Everything is college football now!

She put him out, like the burning end of a midnight cigarette

@alexkirshner.com Listening to the ACC preview and just got to the part about their good Friday night slate... I think y'all need to get #FridayNightACCtion trending

B Dubs voice "Send it into overtime"

Ketchup. That's it. That's all you should be putting on a hot dog. The only other acceptable toppings are chili and cheese but then it's not a hot dog, it's a coney dog.

GOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!!

Found a track suit and some running shorts I liked, immediately bought a second track suit and three more pairs of the shorts.

The best way to watch the USA's FISA World Cup match 🐶

WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETERRRRRRRRR

@shutdownfullcast.bsky.social So your "wake up" segment on this week's episode sure did work to wake up one of my dogs who gave me a confused look, then promptly went back to sleep. (Also that's the blanket @hollyanderson.bsky.social recommended in TRL, thanks, they love it.)

Sabastian Sawe runs first sub-2-hour marathon race, shatters world record in London - NBC Sports share.google/pQJf4OS2STkE... Holy shit. Not only did Sabastian Sawe become the first person to break 2 hours in actual race conditions, Yomif Kejelcha did it in the same race. Absolutely unreal.

@edsbs.bsky.social always good to keep little brother's grubby mitts off of our trophy. Go Blue!

HAIL!!!!!

First attempt at running butter. A pint of heavy cream + 60 minutes/6 miles. Didn't quite become butter but got it to whipped cream. Maybe a 7 or 8 miler will do the trick.

Did... Did you watch the game Tom?

I love this so much!

“The flag that flies when an American athlete wins a gold medal isn’t Donald Trump’s flag. It’s ours. The anthem that plays isn’t Donald Trump’s song. It’s ours. If we refuse to celebrate what’s great about our country because of the people trying to ruin it, they’ve already succeeded.” Amen.

@hollyanderson.bsky.social Thank you for the line "I buy milk at the pet store and I vote." on this week's episode. I haven't laughed that hard for that long in quite a while.

Nothing hits quite like a 40° February run

Super Bowl vibe

If you'd asked beforehand, I wouldn't have assumed Greek mythology meets New Orleans was a thing that would work, but damn in Hadestown didn't pull it off.

Happy birthday Izzo!!!! Go Blue!!!!

Greatest press conference since "I'm a man, I'm 40"

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Let me give you a thought experiment: Imagine not just a ban on qualified immunity for authority, but a reversal; a new legal framework, under which authority bears greater responsibility than civilians in matters involving force—as it should. www.the-reframe.com/absolute-imm...

Just signed up for the Toronto Marathon in October! Quest for sub-4 here I come!!!

Cignetti is so tired of the stupid questions. That head shake was gold 🤣

Beckception!!!! Hoosiers win!!!!
