@recklessrunning I was commenting (and agreeing with you) on the “post co” movement, not your life. You know, the abundance of abundance and scarcity of scarcity. Because of that, a lot of people have the need to create struggle, like exercise, in their life
Dog Days of Summer Track:

I was reflecting on last night’s 1500 incredible 1-3 finish. What happens with a “watered down” collegiate system?? It is time to start thinking about the new NCAA landscape for Olympic sports. It would be tragic for 2028.
