Research suggests that what looks like harmless multitasking can in fact result in switching costs that consume up to 40 percent of one’s productive time. When you care about the work, don't multitask.

What can runners teach us about getting through a pandemic? 1. Patience- Set realistic expectations 2. Pacing- You’ve got to go slow to go fast 3. Process Over Outcome- Focusing too much on the end can demoralize 4. Purpose- We're all in this together nytimes.com/2020/05/21/well/…

Separate your identity from what you do... Understand that running is something that you are really good at. It’s a passion. Embrace how much you care about the sport. But always remember it isn’t who you are. And other advice I'd give my younger self: scienceofrunning.com/2018/06…

Gabe Grunewald never backed down from a challenge. If we can motivate enough people to donate up to $10,000 through our campaign link below between now and June 20, at 11:59 p.m. CT, FloSports will match that amount for a total of $20,000 given to the Brave Like Gabe Foundation.

“I was able to do so many things that I would have not done had I just given up my life when it was hard. So I guess my message is that it’s ok to struggle but it’s not ok to give up on yourself or your dreams.” RIP Gabe Grunewald. You inspired us all. letsrun.com/news/2019/06/gab…

The 5 OT’s. Jerian’s 12 points in 28 seconds. Sherman’s OT dominance. @CollegeGameDay at ND. On this day, 6 years ago, our squad pulled out a 5OT win over Louisville (104-101). #GoIrish amp.twimg.com/v/90943d73-f42…

Sometimes I let the nanny ride my Peloton. But the solarium is my space, so she only can ride in the garage and only when she’s disciplining my children.

Mitch McConnell calls #HR1 a "power grab" because it would: 1) Begin to overturn Citizens United. 2) Establish Automatic Voter Registration. 3) Bolster anti-bribery laws. 4) Protect the Voting Rights Act. Yes. It's a "power grab" -- grabbing power back for the people.

Your child’s success or lack of success in sports does not indicate what kind of parent you are. But, having an athlete that is coachable, respectful, a great teammate, mentally tough, resilient and tries their best IS a direct reflection of your parenting. – at Houston, TX

Garbage miles will only lead to garbage results. It’s not the miles you put in, it’s what you put in the miles. Train with intent & purpose

Food for thought: I spend 10x more time and energy having to "convince" college athletes that the training will work than I do for any of the pro athletes I work with; whose livelihood depends on their performance. Why? There's a lesson in the answer...

Public service, at any level, is about serving country, not a president. The failure to understand this fundamental distinction is perhaps the greatest flaw of this administration. teapawt.net/maggienyt/status/10149…
