Dear Apple, bring back the iPod but make it modern. Not for nostalgia, but for parents who want their kids to experience music and audiobooks without the distractions of apps, browsers, and social media.
AMAZING NEWS! @usatf stepped up and is trying to make things right after the unfortunate mistake at the US Half Marathon Champs.
Their statement has enough words to finish the next Game of Thrones book, so here’s the summary. We get to celebrate 2 podiums and 2 national champions! Jess McClain is NATIONAL CHAMPION, along with Molly Born 🇺🇸🏆 Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat both win silver medals, along with Carrie Ellwood 🥈 Annie Rodenfels has bronze all by herself, like the boss she is 🥉 All athletes get their money from Atlanta Track Club (ATC was incredible all week). Team USA is TBD but I think we can be confident that things are moving in the right direction.
Thank you to the Long Distance Committee at USATF for being wonderful over the last few days, especially Kim Conley and Jay Holder 🙏 You two give me a lot more hope for humanity.
And hey—not many people would remember the US half championship in 10 years. But no one will ever forget 2026 😂 Instead, we got to see female athlete ICONS BEING ICONIC both during and after the race.
The moments and PRs aren’t coming back. But these women will be icons forever 🔥 A bunch of people have some new heroes. I know I do.
Now, back to running 😂
AN ABSOLUTE DISGRACE. Today at the US Half Marathon Champs, Jess McClain and the 3 leaders were directed off course by the lead car and officials in the final mile (all on video for anyone to see). @usatf has initially announced that they won’t be making it right and rectifying the incompetence that created this situation.
USATF, there is still time to change course. Every athlete who would ever be in this situation would want you to provide the athletes with an additional podium and prize money. Tens of thousands of dollars are on the line, plus a US team, along with the credibility of your entire organization. Do you stand for athletes, or do you stand for yourselves?
We are about to find out the answer to that question. If USATF fails to act on behalf of athletes, the leadership has to change.
What comes next? It’s a Sunday, and maybe this decision was made by a local official who just made a mistake. If action isn’t taken, the athletes, coaches, and fans must use our platforms to make sure the leadership changes.
Make this right, and we can all celebrate, laughing at an unfortunate situation, and uplifting an organization that stands with athletes 🇺🇸🙏
I just finished reading Corbitt by John Chodes. The training that this guy did was fascinating. This quote from the appendix made me think of @JasonFitz1
I can't imagine what this guy would have been capable of with modern fueling and hydration.
Big news out of Vermont this morning! Tara Dower set a new OVERALL supported FKT on the 272-mile Long Trail in 3 days, 18 hours, & 29 minutes.
This bests the prior overall supported FKT set by Will Peterson last year by 2 hours & 40 minutes. https://t.co/C0WgBsFaKd
