@abundantsink@denisagar I don’t know the actual percentage but there’s a theory (maybe a study?!) that if you line up your running shoes and clothes the day before you are X times more likely to actually do it. So putting your socks on would be highly effective lol
Remember this moment from the Olympic marathon?
The Brazilian runner, Daniel Do Nascimento, wound up dropping out of that race in Sapporo.
Today, he ran 2:04:51 at the Seoul Marathon to become the fastest marathoner in history born outside of Africa.
I have complained to the @CityofVancouver so many times about this intersection. This is the only cross walk on 4th between Hemlock and Alma that doesn’t have traffic lights. Also the only intersection by a @ParkBoard and kids playground. What’s the logic behind that?!
Pedestrian hit & seriously hurt at “notorious” Vancouver intersection tonight. Neighbours say they’ve complained about the uncontrolled crosswalk at 4th and Waterloo many times. But no action from @CityofVancouver.
In fact, the street light above the crosswalk is out.

Huy Fong's Sriracha hit revenue of $150m+ a year...with no sales team, no trademark and $0 in ad spend.
Its creator is Vietnamese-American David Tran, making the sauce's success a tale of immigrant hustle and a product that literally sells itself.
Here's the story🧵
New Zealand's biggest news site left Facebook. Seven months later, traffic is just fine and trust is higher. Now why do you think that is? https://t.co/WxUAnNGxHi
Marty Hehir's thoughts at mile 18 of the Olympic Trials Marathon:
"If I drink this, I’m gonna poop myself.
"If I don’t drink this…I’m probably still going to poop myself."
He ran a 2:11:29 PR and finished 6th despite stopping to use the bathroom.

@ReidCoolsaet@jgault13 The runner on the far left w/ his arms up is Paulo Paula, 40 years old, from Brazil and he just qualified for his third olympics with a big PB of 2:10:08! In an interview he said that at km 35 it felt like he was just starting the race with fresh legs, a first in his long career!
