This is the 2018 Boston Marathon champ 6 weeks before her win. Everyone struggles. Keep showing up. https://t.co/lridGt3rB5

Some days it just flows and I feel like I’m born to do this, other days it feels like I’m trudging through hell. Every day I make the choice to show up and see what I’ve got, and to try and be better.

My advice: keep showing up.

There is no replacement for showing up, day in and day out, to hone your craft.

Show up.
Do the work.
Consistency is the name of the game.

@stevemagness This is silly. Of course they are pacing themselves. Sure they are running 4:40 miles but they could be doing 4:20 and are choosing not to. The goal is to win the whole thing not one mile. Same in the NBA, the goal is to win the most games not a single game or single quarter.

@CaseyStern It’s 10 yrs of Ohtani and Yamamoto in the NL. The Mets were never winning a WS in 2024. Now they might not in the next decade.

@kvlly Garmin Forerunner 245, also @dcrainmakerblog is the best source for runner tech reviews, comps, etc

.@Topgolf calling their Canton location “Top Golf Boston” is a bold choice.

@jsulbyrne @StubHub The listing price, set by the seller: $17 or was it 17.50? I'd guess the fee is 11.99 and they are rounding it up. Which is at best a software mistake and at worst kind of scammy. Combined with the other dark tactics they do...it's hard to give them the benefit of the doubt.

[Brendan Caffrey @bcaffrey]

Math is hard @StubHub 🤦

@halhansen @jasonmulgrew Same Hal, same

@somershade1 I would give some grace to the individual officer. Certainly they are doing what they are instructed to do and have no control of assignments.

@DanDotLewis I wonder if this could be improved with prompt stringing. Here are 16 words - give me the four you are the most confident are related…and then 12, etc

@bcatleagle The portal is about selling 2 things; a stage for you to show your stuff and NIL $. And the right coach is also selling to Alumni to get those NIL $ in. The era of convincing mom and dad BC will mold them into fine young men is over.

[Brendan Caffrey @bcaffrey]

@bcatleagle Recruiting isn’t everything…it’s the only thing especially in the transfer portal era - you need a brand, sell a vision and get coordinators to do the X and O’s. The HC is your salesman, your brand ambassador.

@andrewchen @zerobounce1 @MyEmailVerifer We tried @FreshAddress which I think has since been acquired ages ago. The concepts are pretty straightforward - identify known bots and known bot patterns, make smtp connections to verify real inboxes, etc. For most the goal is to avoid spam traps/honey pots.

[Brendan Caffrey @bcaffrey]

Going to need @OGTedBerg to weigh in on this

[Morning Brew ☕️ @MorningBrew]

The most important class-action suit of our time has been filed

Yesterday, a customer sued Taco Bello for $5 million over "unfair and deceptive trade practices" by overstating the amount of beef in its products, primarily the Crunchwrap

The evidence is tough to argue

[Brendan Caffrey @bcaffrey]

The @RedSox and @MLB were awful tonight with their policies but they could at least be good email/internet citizens.

If you’re not ready to field a reply, don’t hit send.

[Brendan Caffrey @bcaffrey]

As someone who works loosely in the email industry here’s a thing…like I dgaf if you’re monitoring an inbox. If you send an email and I hit reply, send it to a queue, it’s 2023, wtf.
