I ran 4 miles at lunch, and it felt VERY hot. I just kept thinking about Coach @GregReasoner saying "running in the heat is rewarding." And he was right!! It feels good to be able to go out there and suffer! #Type2fun

May stats: Steps: 322,722 and Burpees 720. YTD: Steps: 1,635,843 and Burpees: 4120. Still in 2 Chonicles, but should be wrapping up soon. #2026

There is no greater illusion than thinking the accomplishment of some goal will change your life. What will change your life is the person you become in the process of going for it.

April Stats: 875 burpees and 295,166 steps*. YTD: 3400 burpees and 1,313,462 steps. I am in 2 Chronicles. It is interesting to compare 1 and 2 Chronicles to 1 and 2 Samuel.
*3 days' worth of step data was not recorded, including a Saturday long run. Oh well. #2026goals

Practically, the only rigorously proven things you can do for life extension right now are:

- Don't be fat
- Be fit
- Control your blood sugar
- Control your blood pressure
- Have low cholesterol
- Don't poison yourself

Almost everything else is speculative and dubious.

@GregReasoner Nice work, Coach!!

I am doing a Genesis Reading Challenge with my dad over 80 days. We take turns reading out loud. He uses his KJV Bible, and I use my NSRV. We discuss. It is awesome!

The first week of March was kicking my butt! I had posting to twitter on my to-do list for the weekend.

New research reveals that walking at 3 mph on a steep incline burns up to 70% more calories than running at the same speed on flat ground.

Skip the joint-pounding stress of flat-ground sprints. Studies show that maintaining a steady 3 mph pace on a 16–18% incline actually outperforms traditional running in several key ways. The uphill effort recruits far more muscle fibers—especially in the glutes, hamstrings, quads, and core—as your body fights gravity with every step. This constant resistance dramatically raises the metabolic demand, pushing energy expenditure higher without the repetitive impact of jogging.

Beyond the impressive calorie burn, incline walking delivers a superior cardiovascular workout. Your heart has to pump harder to supply oxygen to working muscles under increased gravitational load, which builds aerobic fitness more effectively than level walking. Interestingly, this approach also allows your body to tap into a higher percentage of fat as fuel compared to high-intensity flat running, all while being much gentler on knees, ankles, and hips.

For anyone looking to maximize fat loss, boost endurance, and get better results with less wear and tear on the body, trading sprints for steep incline walking might be the smartest upgrade you can make in the gym.

Anthropic just took a big swipe at OpenAI's decision to put ads in ChatGPT. Anthropic is airing ads mocking ChatGPT ads during the Super Bowl, and they're hilarious 😅 Anthropic is also committing to no ads in Claude https://t.co/LR1v4xz9ds
