The Long Defeat

@Predamame Would love this

How can you not be romantic about the minuteman bike path?

@Girl81Runner Thanks! It was a great walk.

@TheLongDefeat87 I love the peacefulness.

@Predamame Did this on my last race. Need some practice but it helped. Thanks for the tip.

Some guy called me "Sabastian Straw" lmfao

@BigMcLrgHuge I'm proud of you.

hoo hoo hoosiersssss

why would anyone spend millions of dollars to build a factory in the US and train US workers when tariff policies can be changed on a whim by a compliment or an insult? you either shape your tariff regime around certain industrial goals or you're wasting everyone's time and money

@BradleyGrey_ Fully agree. Just caught me off guard to see it go the other way, and felt that could be misleading and possibly harmful to someone who it has affected in a deep way. Thanks for the response.

@TheLongDefeat87 I hear that I'm normally a fan of nuance. I'm making a point about the absolutes people say about casual sex and how everything should only be a deep profound emotional relationship. There's danger in both.

Casual sex doesn't damage people. Breakups do. Nobody is lying awake crying over a one night stand. But it can take years of therapy to get over someone you were deeply in love with. We’ve been taught to fear casual sex like it's inherently harmful. But what actually damages people is losing someone they loved. Not the sex itself. That’s not an argument against love. It’s an argument against the shame we attach to sex.

@CatholicRunners Thanks for sharing. Again, nice work.

@TheLongDefeat87 30 sec between the 400s. On the 150s it was closer to a minute and a half, but not set. I wanted the HR to be recovered before starting the next 150. Whereas with the 400s keeping the HR slightly up throughout was the plan. 150s with rests below:

Track day! 9 miles on the morning. Wu-16x400 at around threshold with 30sec standing rest-4x150m at fast with full recovery-CD

@CatholicRunners Haha. I bet. If I may ask. What was your rest time between sets on the latter portion.

@TheLongDefeat87 It felt easy yesterday, but my legs were feeling it today 😏

@HankFrank Key, imo, is just doing an honest assessment of everything and learning from it.

A marathon that goes sideways does not always mean the fitness was missing. Sometimes the block did its job. The race just exposed the stuff around the fitness. Pacing was a little too hot. Fuel came a little too late. The course or weather took more than expected. One rough mile turned into a few. Still a bad day. But not always a bad block.

Messing around with a new camera.

I'm ready for 3:30pm

@shitotaur All good. Just saying that Rolex makes a good watch. It's well built vs any high end fashion watch (ie: not a dedicated watch company). Are there other watches that are better/equivalent. Yes.

There are too many other watchmakers of the same status and quality as Rolex for this to be true I think, singling them out. Sorry @TheLongDefeat87 had to qt here

If i'm following the congressional GOP position, the ballroom, which was to be paid for with private dollars, will now be paid for with taxpayer dollars in order to, in part, accommodate an event that won't even be held there.

@dieworkwear I legit just had this same conversation this past weekend (and agree wholeheartedly).

rolex makes objectively good watches, but the brand is so closely associated with a kind of status-obsessed braggart who's constantly assessing other people's social positions that it's hard to get into their watches. spiritually painful.
