USATF: “The new trials standard is 2:37.”
Me: “Yikes, that’s fast. I really need to get my act together, prioritize recovery and get some good sleep.”

Off to a great start…

Story coming shortly on marathon trials qualifying standards. But if you look at 2020 qualifying lists and apply standards announced today, it would cut the women's field to about 20 percent of the size it was in Atlanta. Seems pretty drastic.

[Teal Burrell @runnerteal]

First thought: 🤬!! That’s hard.

When you catch your baby’s spit up in one hand (while holding Baby upright with the other), you realize:

1. You have achieved a new level of Mom Skills 🙌

2. Your definition of skills *might* have changed 🤔
