Wow I just checked my bank account and realized I have enough money to live comfortably for the rest of my life if I die on Thursday

@PicturesFoIder Malcolm Gladwell’s podcast, Revisionist History, looks at a similar incident (I think!)

The episode was titled “Blame Game”

People were mistakenly hitting the gas instead of the brake, and it led to a hysteria with Toyota and Lexus vehicles

This video is hysterical thank you

@GrahamInvesting @StockTradeAnlys @HeroDividend That’s really good to know and I will keep it in mind. Thanks Graham!

“Money buys happiness in the same way drugs bring pleasure.

Incredible if done right

Dangerous if used to mask a weakness

And disastrous when no amount is enough.”

@walnutman @Alan_Couzens @PeterAttiaMD @doctorinigo Thanks, Shane! I’ll be sure to check it out.

[Michael Cottle @kingcottle]

@Alan_Couzens This makes perfect sense. Thanks so much for the time, Alan.

Back to chapter 4 of your substack to re-read🤓 Cheers!

@Alan_Couzens Alan, thank you. I understand the concern.

I believe what I’m after is if lipolysis exists on a spectrum, as opposed to an on/off switch in the body with insulin present or not.

Your work here has been expansive to what I’ve known in endurance sports and I am grateful!!

@7Innovator Great pick up for them! Would love to see him wear #5 again like at Stanford. Wish he was traded to another team with red jerseys though 😁 #ChiefsKingdom

@scottontario Thanks Scott! 😁🎉 2 years in with a lifetime to go still!

[Michael Cottle @kingcottle]

Two years straight of #CloseYourRings

618 runs.
2491.23 miles.
57 pounds lost.
Ran my first 10K, Half Marathon, 15K, 5K, and Ultramarathon in that order.

[Michael Cottle @kingcottle]

What did this change for me?

I wasn’t concerned with how long or how fast my runs were anymore. I was excited that it was a part of my daily life.

And that was enough encouragement to go out and do it again tomorrow🏃🏻‍♂️✌🏽

[Michael Cottle @kingcottle]

The last two years I’ve worried less about goals and more about formations.

Instead of saying, “I want to run my 5K this fast,” I would say, “I want running to be a part of my daily life.”
