Is there any way I can be added to the /books channel so I can post my most recent reads?

Trying something new this training block and adding hill repeats into my routine. Today we did 4 x 3mins with an easy warmup and cooldown.

I went to a dark place yesterday. I decided I was going to enter the pain cave from the gun.

As we grow older, we come to realize that while friends may drift away, some bonds remain unbroken, effortlessly picking up right where they left off…even after years apart. I don’t know if everyone is lucky enough to experience such connections, but as I moved from city to city growing up, I gathered a treasure trove of memories and friendships along the way. Losing one of those irreplaceable friends cuts especially deep; it’s a painful reminder of moments lost and opportunities to share more time together. Sometimes, the ache of losing a cherished friend lingers even longer than the heartache of missing someone you see every day.

It’s funny how so many of us live in the same city but only seem to hang out at conventions in other places.

This one time at Coachella, during a Radiohead set, the sassafras was coming on strong, and my friend was having a much more intense experience than I was. She looked me in the eyes, and without words, I knew she wanted out of the crowd. As we made our way out, the sassafras wave hit even harder, and we escaped just in time to melt into each other’s arms as the music took over our bodies. She went home to her partner after that night, but I still remember those moments like they were yesterday.

Blasting Kid A like it’s Y2K again, driving around the neighborhood with all the buds in a two-door Focus, crammed four wide in the back seat.

Just finished The Power of Moments. I’m in the middle of a rebrand for a company I originally branded 10 years ago, and this was a nice little reminder to break the script.

I've felt a lot stronger this training block... It's fun to do speed work during marathon training. With ultra training, I'm usually just running up and down mountains.

Just finished an intense fasted speed workout, and I think I tapped into some fat that had THC stored since 2007.
