I was on Twitter before Musk, and hope to be well after he’s gone, but for now I’m outta here cause I can’t support his bro-tastic-clown-town-troll-fest. ✌️

I can never tell if Bari Weiss thinks we’re all dumb or if that’s just her shtick. Performative outrage with an agenda. Her writing doesn’t read as genuine.

Hey @trialsmiles what are the chances you’d host a marathon this spring on that burner of a course where you hosted previously. An army of @tracksmith athletes would be there in a snap. The spring is sadly void of truly quick marathons. It’s be great! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

1st: don’t do this. But 2nd: I love how the runner in the white singlet immediately goes to stop his watch, before checking on anyone 😂
In most places, the Turkey Trot is a nice race you do to make you feel less guilty about the quantity you eat on Thanksgiving. Not in Troy, New York, where third place seems to have meant a BIT MORE (Via @Kevin_McCashion) https://t.co/QOHCHTtu1C

Discussing marathoning my brother brought up this scene from No Country For Old Men and I don’t think much captures its essence better. “A man would have to put his soul at hazard. And he’s have to say, okay, I’ll be part of this world.”

My pick in the @Relay_site conversation about who’s going to make the 2024 marathon trials. This kid doesn’t care what the distance is, he just crushes.
6 weeks after running 2:08 at the Chicago Marathon, Conner Mantz wins the Manchester Road Race in 21:02ish for the 4.748-mile course. Wins $7000. Takes home an extra $2000 for breaking the course record of 21:15.75 by Edward Cheserek from 2018.

Historic Day: Tomorrow @exerscience will attempt to finish his 60th consecutive #ManchesterRoadRace, a streak he started in 1963. Burfoot, the former editor of @runnersworld, won this classic #Thanksgiving race 9 times from 1968 through 1977. Fittingly he was given bib #1

Very excited to rally the Portland running community together to support this work, push ourselves through conversation, and continue to redefine the sport we love! If you’re near Portland please put Monday January 23rd on your calendar. 7pm at the one and only Powell’s Books!

I want to engage this question earnestly, b/c it’s a legit question. The answer is yes, I do look at left, too. Left-wing activists are responsible for 2% of murders committed by political extremists in the US over the past decade; right-wing activists are responsible for 74%.
