Fantastic movie, wife (non reader) went in completely blind “Is this a war movie or something?” And loved it.


Felt like they nailed Rocky’s tunnel in the Hail Mary.

Fantastic!

In other news, my kids’ track meet today was accompanied by a controlled burn a few blocks over. Needless to say, no PRs were had today.

1st Kid: Normal birth, about 24hrs

2nd Kid: Induced, 2 nights

3rd Kid: No epidural, one afternoon and an overnight.

4th Kid: Used a birth center, arrived at 4am, home by noon.

Septic field or no?

36 and snowing here in the Ozarks, will be about 19 in the morning.

Covered my peas and cool season flowers, spent about an hour pulling tarps and storage containers.

We will see how hardy my peas are.

8th grade?

I just checked MileSplit and 5:40 would easily put her top 5 in the state in Alabama.

I ran. I have 3 kids in track and XC (one in college) and this post hits home.

It’s pretty common honestly for kids to stall during the season, honestly surviving the season is a win. My son is a great runner and end of season is often a let down, PRs usually come early to mid season.

Some runners do better with tons of mileage, others with more intensity - figure out which she is and hope the coach adjusts.

For extra training, the big things that helped my kids:

Nordic Curls: Bulletproof hamstrings and extra kick. After a few months, my miler was fast enough to join the 4x4 crew.

Facepulls: Helped get rid of the shoulder exhaustion in the 800

Trap Bar Deads: Kids got plenty strong and stayed injury free.

Once the leptin/ghrelin/serotonin mechanism gets messed up, it's just really, really difficult to get it to re-set to a new baseline.

This is why it’s truly best to embrace a slow weight loss with sustainable lifestyle changes balancing results with satisfaction for adherence. Once a goal weight is achieved, ever so slowly return to maintenance to build a new set point.

I’m convinced it’s incredibly under diagnosed and unappreciated for men and actually a driver of ED, premature ejaculation, and what many men diagnosed with “prostatitis” are actually dealing with.

Hypertonic PF is more likely to impact fit men, and stress is a big driver too.

I had some testical pain a few years ago that cascaded into classic “prostratitis” symptoms. Urologist said there was no infection and threw meds my way. Since my first symptoms came right after a heavy deadlift session, I did some online research and I started gut smashing and doing PF release work and resolved the issues on my own.

The other part is that the way it has all gone down over the last year has been frustrating and messy. No consistency, constantly having to pivot and change business strategy, disrupting business at the drop of a hat. If there is a reciprocal tariff on a country to level out the playing field, ok. And it stays consistent. Ok. But that hasn’t been the case. Changing tariff amounts constantly, sweeping blanket tariffs…..so confusing, bad in the short term for American businesses, putting some businesses under……chaos.

The constant change makes it impossible to hit a financial plan since the cost swings are never in forecast. Also, many companies have to finance a portion of input costs, so the interest eventually catches up to you if cash flow isn’t just right.

I’ll ask my commodity guys how they are pivoting and they’re like “Do I really pivot based on a tweet?”
