I already wrote about this but I'm saying it again because it's worth saying twice.
The "pussification" of our nation is in full swing.
The @lamarathon is giving out finisher awards to people who stop at Mile 18. Because it's going to be warm.
Not dangerous. Warm.
Folks, if the heat is a problem for you — heart issues, medical concerns, whatever — I get it.
Don't run.
Nobody's going to think less of you. Boston defers your fee to next year when conditions are bad. That's the right call.
But walking up to Mile 18, stopping, and collecting a finisher's medal for a race you didn't finish? No. We don't need that.
You know what else is hot? Death Valley. 121 degrees. People run 135 miles through it at Badwater.
They don't hand out trophies for quitting at Mile 18. You either make it to Whitney Portal or you don't.
If you can't start it and finish it the right way, defer to next year. Come back ready. Earn it.
Stay motivated. 💪

In 2014 Elon Musk expressed exactly how he feels about American Taxpayers. Nothings changed
“So the taxpayers essentially loaned you, Tesla, almost $500 million. How much of that do you still owe?”
Elon Musk “So we paid the whole loan back with interest and a prepayment penalty last year”
“Did you have to do that? It wasn't due, was it?”
Elon Musk “No, it was not due for, I think another 10 years or something.”
“Why did you pay it off early?”
Elon Musk “The taxpayers supported Tesla. We ought to repay them as soon as can. And since we had the ability to do it and the stock markets were good, we thought, well, let's pay it back with interest and a thank you note, by the way I said, I really, really appreciate it, thank you.”
