An incredibly deep and moving piece by @wired editor-chief @nxthompson who explores his lifelong relationship with running and recent training to break the 2:30 marathon barrier.
Grateful to have shared a part of Nick’s journey

GBR #OlympicTrials - @Thommo10k wins in 2:10:50 and will go to #TokyoOlympics. @bdconnor gets second in 2:12:06, and since he already had the qualifying standard he's on the team, too, joining pre-selected @callhawk.

Following a push by local preservationists, the planned final section of Brooklyn Bridge Park will be named after Emily Roebling, who oversaw the span's completion in 1883 brooklynpaper.com/brooklyn-b…
NYC Parks are undefeated in 2020.
I am extremely grateful to the @NYCParks staff and NY Parks commissioner/fellow runner @mitchell_silver for keeping this essential resource powered and continuously expanding throughout the boroughs.
People ran the race this year in their own boroughs and neighborhoods. It was incredible work and proof that the spirit of this amazing race is still very much alive.
Quick story: Earlier this fall, my father @Finman1017 (actual Coach Finley) while out mountain biking in the middle of the woods very intentionally aimed for and subsequently crashed off an elevated dirt bike jump, something he and his friends did frequently in their mid-60s...
But through it all, he fought to communicate and coach his high school team and this week his men’s team won their first district meet by one point. One point is one place, one lean or a fraction of a second in cross country.

Continuing to work on running strategically - being patient, relaxing my shoulders 😬 and kicking hard.
3K PR at Friday night’s Trials of Miles x @baklinenyc Big City Invitational!
So happy for these opportunities to race and to work hard with these ladies!

No rain, no gain.

Coaching will look and sound different for the foreseeable future but the surge of fulfillment and seemingly accompanying hand motions remain the same.
Beyond grateful to welcome so many friends back to practice yesterday as we resumed our first @BKLYNTrackClub sessions since March.
Starting back is important but how we start back is more important - more sessions, smaller groups, masks - keep it up squad!
Your body is smart. If your body has been mostly still, then it's adjusted to the demands of a more sedentary life––your metabolism a little slower, your posture slightly shifted, your muscles & tissues more ridged. All this is reversable & many of you will see benefits from rest

New York City’s prominent run crew leaders share their experiences with racism and how to come together as a community to inspire change against racism.
