@Moofey17 Wasn’t he good! Favourite roll. I suspect he stutters but has worked to overcome it. If so, too back he didn’t take the opportunity to talk about it.

@EvanDunfee Ha! No. This is squarely on your shoulders dude: I’ve seen you train. You are mentally and physically supernatural. I’m so excited that you are happy with your results. Gives me some drive too. 💙

@KarenStrine3 @fitterhappierAJ Yep - I do too. She’s part of a Covid study. That’s not something on my bucket list.

What a day. Last month, coming off my 20km PB in Adelaide, I had this idea of changing up my schedule and racing the 35km here in Dudince. I was in great shape and maybe, just maybe I could take a shot at the World Record. Well first, let’s rewind 20ish years to teenage me, never having even raced a 10km before. Gerry and I sat in his office and mapped out the future on his whiteboard. We set audacious goals. Goals that most sane people would have laughed at us for setting: Win Olympic Gold medals, break World Records. I used to think my success hinged on whether I achieved those goals or not. I’ve had to work my ass off the last 12 years to shed that perception for my physical and mental health and thanks in undefinable quantities to Kirsten Barnes, I got there. I’m not defined by medals won or records set. But that hasn’t stopped me from dreaming the biggest of dreams and chasing after them with everything I got. And falling short isn’t failure. Failure comes from shying away from big goals, from never trying. As the days to Dudince drew closer, I started to shy away. Training hadn’t felt the best the last couple weeks. Conditions didn’t look 100% optimal. I had made excuses not to try. This morning I woke up and convinced myself to try. To leave it all out there and give it every ounce I had. And boy am I so glad I did. I went out hard, racing the Mario Kart ghost of the 2:21:47 World Record. I got way ahead, slipped on the proverbial banana peel with 6km to go (i.e the wheels started to come off) and had to dig incredibly deep the last 3km to stop the record slipping just out of my grasp. I crossed the line in 2:21:40. A new World Record. a lifelong dream come true. An accomplishment that is owed in part to so many. But to name a few, this doesn’t happen without my family, Sara, Gerry, Marilou, Devon, Kirsten, and Iñaki. To each and every one of you who has helped guide me, or just been along for the ride cheering from the sidelines. This one’s for you! ❤️

@Sustain_VA @drseanmullen But we can’t stop sharing the pain amongst ourselves when no one else wants to talk… it’s pretty lonely otherwise. Very raw Dr Mullen and strikes me to the core. How I choose to live through all of this is key and I choose not to make myself suffer more than necessary.

@Sustain_VA @drseanmullen I thought so too. I guess it’s just so true and it hurts to hear.

Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains. The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.

@RevivalCare I did a lot of cardio last year and really made myself move a lot more. Thought I might go easier this year but maybe I’ll just schedule my time better. Thank you for the facts and motivation.

@anarchodelphis Consistency is habit forming and absolutely essential for me: how any one thinks they are a reliable statistician on their own anecdotal experience is beyond me.

@freespiritus I know things are going around in my school and I have the strangest symptoms - no one is doing PCR tests anymore and I want one. But I doubt we even have tests to catch the variants: we are all walking blind. And soon to be brain dumb too.

@Stuthefarmer I hear you: you’ve got a lot of other responsibilities. What ever it is going around is leaving people sick for many days/weeks. It’s …not good.
