Seems so long ago that I wrote this. And @realDonaldTrump continues to stun the world. https://t.co/MPHbl3SFem

New respect for Abdul Carter. 100% agree. We are.

[SNY Giants @SNYGiants]

Abdul Carter says he will only address Jaxson Dart introducing Donald Trump one time:

"Some things are bigger than football, and this is one of those things.

Jaxson is one of our leaders - he's the face of our franchise. He represents himself and what he does, and he represents all of us.

If he chooses to align himself with a man like President Trump, it's my responsibility based on what I believe and what I stand on to not only show my teammates that I'm against that, but to show the world.

That doesn't mean that we have to spread hate. That doesn't mean that me and Jaxson hate each other or we have beef. I sit next to Jaxson every day - we're close, we talk.

As long as we make sure we have the same goal as a team, and our goals align - which they do -that's all that matter.

I just want to move past this."

I was guiding a visually impaired athlete on a National Mall run this morning when we ran into my esteemed journalism colleague J. Ford Huffman. He is still looking good.😊 Go Achilles!

Honored to have guided Sgt
Michele Mahoney through today’s National Women’s Half Marathon!😊

Mike Collins still with a significant lead over the pack in #GASen primary

But with 54pct of primary voters undecided, there is potential for anything to happen before May 19

Julie was a rock star as we conquered the legit rock scramble en route to the top of Old Rag Mountain.

I am no fan of this war, but under the circumstances @marcthiessen's take at least makes some sense. No sense in continuing to kick the can down the road. https://t.co/ngnyDpYuzD

Washington DC isn’t just about politics! A wonderful day for the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler that drew 20,000 runners and thousands more spectators. #goachilles!

[John Bacon @realjohnbacon]

I'm no fan of the Iran war but here we are, no going back. This column by @marcthiessen more succintly pitches what President Trump was probably trying to sell last night. https://t.co/9Pia0GcpqF

Great to visit with some of my old W-L track coaching staff - and to see the girls defend their county championship!😊

Fab night for a run with Achilles team on the National Mall. #goachilles!

We interrupt marathon training to bring you the 55 meter dash! Not really my distance but our heat had a blast - and we all survived!💪😊

Fun week hanging with my old friends the W-L track coaches! @WLHSAthletics
