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
Overall, very happy :)
Day 2, Run 2
And now time to finish the workday before retiring these shoes and trying a new pair
First day of the week first run of the week
🏉 🏟️ 🏆 Starting to get quite hyped about the Women’s Rugby World Cup starting later today!
Simple and to-the-point, I love this new ad campaign to support our French Women’s National Rugby Team ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup
🏀
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.
🏀 My point gawd announced his retirement yesterday:
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!
⚽️ “This is Stadio”, this is Football.
Considering the stadium and running track are close to where I live I’m trying to set up new routines to get in better shape and become healthier
🏀 #Eurobasket25 France vs Spain:
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
Massively excited for Pogba’s debut in the French league, playing for my childhood club later this year! #pogback

Absolute madness at the Paris Basketball game tonight!
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.
6/15/25
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.
6/6/25
(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.
Onwards now: one more win to get to the finals!
If you haven’t seen the highlights from Rayan Cherki’s goal, last night, do yourself a massive favor:
As a Manchester City fan, I’m incredibly excited!
⚽️🇫🇷 Been banging the ”Michael Olive as a creative replacement to Griezmann” drum for a while, so glad to see a take that goes in the same direction
Went to this game with my cousin, who now works for PSG. Earlier this year he had invited me to attend a game at the Parc des Princes so it was only natural to get him to join me for a game in my second home, Adidas Arena.
Final Score: 100-89 — game 2 in 2 days
Game 3 Victory: On to the Semifinals! @ACMomento #ParisBasketball
Getting @rayancherki.bsky.social at #ManCity is giving this French fan massive Samir Nasri revival vibes 🙋♂️ 🤩
Imma lose my shit if #ManCity gets Rayan Cherki 🤩 🇫🇷
First game of the playoffs and it started with an exclusive Season-ticket holders event hosted by the club, where we were able to go shoot on the court, visit the entire arena, discover the hospitality section, talk with a few players and the president, and get our Playoffs started! | @acmomento
I’ve got newfound respect for Jonathan Claus:
Just because discrimination doesn’t concern you, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to it. I haven’t experienced racism, but I’m still interested in saying it’s not cool for the people who suffer it.

“Kyle Goon: The Baltimore ‘O!’ is about community pride. Don’t lecture us about it.”
We’re here, we’re proud of the place we live, and we want it to thrive. (…) The “O!” is a Baltimore thing. It’s a Maryland thing. It’s about a shared identity and community that we’re all rooting for, which is patriotic in and of itself.

Outside of my Caps/Habs series, it’s been hard not to cheer for Canadian teams in these #NHLPlayoffs (for self-evident reasons):
100% behind the Jets, Oilers, and Maple Leaves in their respective series! Go Canada!
2-0 at halftime! Really hoping Inter finishes the job against Barça! #ChampionsLeague
Really loving the way @theathletic.bsky.social has implemented stories-like sports video recaps within its app!
