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 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.
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 🤔
Really excited for the start of #EuroBasket today! Our French National Team has some exciting young talent and some good potential to make a deep run in this competition! #AllezLesBleus
Fourth day of the week
Third (5k) run of the week
Ran uninterrupted / non-stop this time
First one with the new shoes — no soreness, super light, super comfortable, kept a good face in the entire time
John Wall’s speed, with or without the ball, registered as a whole other thing, something uncanny and exhilarating and miraculous. (…) John Wall was fast more or less the way Steph Curry is good at shooting three-pointers. (…)
…The sound of the team’s in-arena announcer’s drawn-out JOHHHHHNNNNN WALLLLLLL is the backing track to some of the most fun I ever had watching professional sports in person. Basketball as a whole, too, benefited from having in it a guy who, for a time anyway, could break games more or less the way the Road Runner broke Wile E. Coyote’s traps, by sprinting straight through them at the speed of sound.
Thank you John Wall, Washington Wizards and DC legend! His peak years with the Wiz were arguably the last time that the team was relevant, which is very sad to point out. We’re gonna need a jersey retirement ceremony and everything. Someone tell owner Ted Leonsis to get on it!
Misogyny in women’s sports — like in society – is often subtle. However, in this instance, the message being sent by the people throwing these sex toys on the courts is loud and clear.
🏀 🇫🇷 I know it’s just a test, but very much excited to see France 🇫🇷 play against Montenegro 🇲🇪 tonight and check out how this newlook team pairs together… 🏀 #FIBA #EuroBasket
Game 2 of the 2024-2025 LNB Betclic Elite Finals: 2-0 Win
Total domination against this Monaco team and we went as high as having a +30 point gap.
TJ Shorts proving once again why he’s the best player on the continent and the whole team played its part! Incredible game, incredible atmosphere, and now one win away from our very first League Championship.
First game of the Finals — a best of five series
It’s our second appearance at the finals ever — second in two years. We lost to Monaco 3-1 last year, but we are stronger while Monaco is having some issues with a star player who’s not gonna play again this season and another solid one who’s injured.
Today’s victory puts us up 1-0, so two more wins, needed to win the whole damn thing!
The team was serious from beginning to end, so that was really great.
(In a best-of-5 series - meaning the first team to 3 wins goes through.)
Another solid win: started with a 7-0 run, then tied and went as far as being 10 points behind in the first half. Very poor refereeing in Q2, seemed that refs were losing the plot.
Back to business in Q3, and we really went ahead in Q4.
