About last night: #OuiPlay #WNCAA College Basketball opening night, in Paris!
Great to see the future of Women’s Basketball in my hometown, for a special double-header! Great performances from Taliah Scott (Baylor #0) and Mikayla Blakes (Vanderbilt #1)

Bigger than Basketball:
Doc Rivers: “We’re talking about kids not getting food (…) and that should never happen.”
John Wall being back with the Wizards organization (its media arm anyways) warms my heart!
Post-lunch but hey I got my daily 6k so 🤷♂️ 💪
It’s 6:45am here in France and game 3 of the World Series is still going on, tied at 5-5 in the 15th inning 🤩 😆 ⚾️
Back to it, solo, and on the track!
Wife came with me on the daily run today, for the first 2k :)
Stopped today’s run at 5k: between the recovery from leg injury + being under the weather this past weekend, having just eaten lunch, and the windy weather, I’d rather hit my weekly goal by pushing later this week than pushing too hard today.
Solid Euroleague Win at a time when we’re having 5 games in 10 days. We were clearly better than Baskonia and at the end Nadir caught fire! But defense needs to improve, and a few other things too… long season! #ParisBasketball #Euroleague
Season Home Opener Banner Night Easy win at home with the new team! We are SO back!
Nice little midday run to stay in shape and quiet the mind today.
Incredibly excited to finally get to my #ParisBasketball home opener tomorrow! Hype’s been building up, the team is playing faster than ever, and while this promises to be a challenging season, our roster is overall more balanced than the past 2 seasons. #Euroleague and #BetclicElite, here we come!
Back to it — decided to go around the canal instead of the running track today and make the most of the good weather.
⛳️ Stupid animals:
Boos during practice swings and the sing-song “YEW-ESS-AY! YEW-ESS-AY!” after a European miss were tiresome, but survivable. What crept in on Saturday was different: insults aimed at players’ wives, homophobic slurs, cheap shots at McIlroy’s nationality dripping with tiresome stereotypes, gleeful reminders of Pinehurst the moment McIlroy crouched over anything inside five feet.
What happened here didn’t invent the tone of American life so much as reflect what’s been an incremental breakdown in public behavior. The country now lives in all-caps, from school-board meetings that sound like street rallies and comment sections that have spilled into the street.
Oh wait this was about golf?! ⛳️🤔
9/28/25
In Nuremberg for work for the week, and decided to go check out the local football team with some of my colleagues.
We were seated next to the Berlin fans, and unfortunately, the stadium has a running track around it, which I generally really dislike. But other than that fun atmosphere and frustrating experience to watch the home team lose 0-3. Good experience if they were playing better, I would try to go see that more regularly considering I am visiting this town four times a year.
Pushing for another smaller one this morning to reach the weekly goals and make sure that I can continue pushing.
Colder and significantly more humid run today + I’m feeling the 10K from yesterday. But glad I could still go.
9/27/25
I believe this might be the first time ever, or at least in the past two decades, that I’ve completed a 10k run (and also managed to run over an hour, which is unprecedented for me, especially without any interruptions).
The course had minimal elevation, and the weather was cold and slightly humid. However, I think the temperature at least helped me maintain my pace and push through. Once I completed the larger loop around the lake, I realized that I needed to push just a bit more to reach the 10k mark as well as the hour mark. So, I continued running.
Proud of myself for reaching this milestone. It wasn’t easy, but I made an effort to pace myself more and ensure that I could complete the longer distance and time.
First run is being back from the US Last chance to run at home before a week-long trip for work
The dynamic music in my ears help me naturally push faster and faster but I need to pace myself more for a longer run next time
Can definitely start feeling some improvement in my fitness levels overall.
Very excited for the reform of @euroleague (and the Fantasy League) this year! Any of my followers here participating?
Doku is such a baller! So excited to see Ohil score in the derby too! #CmonCity #ManCity
This is not a lifestyle change, This is a commitment to my health, for myself, my wife, and my daughter.
Solid couple of runs in Maryland over the past week: pushing myself more and more
First catch from DeAndre Hopkins as a Baltimore Raven, and it’s a dead-grab one-handed catch and touchdown! Woah! 🏈 #RavensFlock #NFL
First run for these next couple of weeks in the US. Overall, quite happy about the performance, especially given that this was a longer run than usual .
Nice to see some bike lines that I could use however, being in the suburbs is definitely not ideal at with regards to running paths.
🏈 📺 With Streameast shutting down, what are other platforms to watch sports (NFL Football, ⚽️, …)? NFL starts again today and I’m gonna need my fix!
Run cut short by the unexpected pouring rain today, but glad I’m able to keep these going 3-4/week so far
🏈 🏆 Last weekend before the return of the NFL — my fantasy football draft earlier today I’m really excited about the team I was able to put together
4th 5k workout this week, starting to feel good and get my routine down.
Glad my wife and daughter were able to join for a bit but the local stadium security guy asked them to leave cuz “too dangerous” for the toddler to run around in an unused area of the track 🤔
