Courtney Dauwalter: No loneliness for the long-distance runner.

Wearing over-sized shorts and a huge smile, she burst onto the scene around a decade ago, and was soon leaving competitors - including men - in the dust, knocking hours off ultra-running records

@frankietaggart @damonwake I'm concerned about how old we all must be. I was sure the ironing conversation was something I'd done relatively recently, but it's got to be 12 years since we all sat together

@jakeadelstein @arnopartenlive I have personally always objected to Japan's insistence that an onion is a "ball-leek". They're different things; but surely, if you must claim one is derivative of the other, the onion is the uber veg, and the leek should be a "stick-onion"

Zion Ricks-Gaines was shot in both eyes and left completely blind. But he still skates.

He is a hugely inspiring 19-year-old I met in San Francisco last week
