@HankFrank I got tripped up by a dog while running last summer. The owner did not apologize - he stared at me like it was my fault. Luckily, I fell into the grass rather than on the sidewalk (because I had even moved over to avoid them).🤦

This morning a dog sent me to the ground mid-workout. The owner’s reaction was somehow worse than the fall. I love dogs. This isn’t about the dog. Rep 11 of 16x800m on a track. Running 5:20 pace. An off leash Doberman comes out of nowhere and levels me. Both knees scraped. Both hands scraped. Hip badly bruised. The owner kept walking. Didn’t even turn around. I got up, caught up to her, and asked her to please leash her dog or leave the track. She called me entitled. I moved to the road. Finished every remaining rep. Added one more for the one she cost me. She tried to end my workout. She gave me an extra rep instead.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

@lindseyvonn Thank you for showing us what is possible with such an amazing and memorable comeback! Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery! Whatever you decide to do next is going to be amazing!!

No, I’m not ready to discuss my future in skiing. My focus has been on recovering from my injury and getting back to normal life. I was already retired for 6 years and have an amazing life outside of skiing. It was incredible to be #1 in the world again at 41 years old and set new records in my sport, but at my age, I’m the only one that will decide my future. I don’t need anyone’s permission to do what makes me happy. Maybe that means racing again, maybe that doesn’t. Only time will tell. Please stop telling me what I should or should not do. I’ll let you know when I decide.

Help us congratulate longtime Eastern Michigan Sports Information Director Jim Streeter on being named to the 2026 Mid American Conference Hall of Fame. Nearly 40 years dedicated to telling the stories of EMU student athletes and shaping the legacy of Eastern Michigan Athletics!

@hansonsrun He lives right around the corner from my sister & family. They say that he's incredibly friendly and nice (when he's in the neighborhood that is). He's great!

I am so impressed with @miketirico I understand that every “minor sport” is an exclusive club starving for attention. We are also incredibly critical of broadcasters that seem like outsiders. MNF Mike Tirico does an incredible job at the Olympics presenting all minor sports.
