First time back in Pigeon Forge since our run Camp- at with a 5K & 10K Saturday and a Half Marathon Sunday. The best part was hitting the 'park cutoff' in time to ride the rollercoaster at mile 11. Lots of lines, lots of hills, yet lots of fun and lots of hiccups that need to be addressed.
The Run University / Balance Personal Training crew did great and completely succeeded in acting like kids the whole weekend.

No debt
Ideal weight
8 hours of sleep entails health on track.
Right nutrition
Zero alcohol.

THIS was my peak. I was 8.

Everyone talks about the strength it takes to cross the Finish Line, but few talk about the strength it takes to cross the Start Line.

Side note: if you're taking a GLP1 you should hit the gym pronto. GLP1 'attacks' muscles and fat indiscriminately...if you're lifting weights then you can preserve muscle and lose more fat and you'll be less likely to look like a deflated kids blow up jumping castle.
Just my .02.

Training for a race makes you look like an elite athlete to your family and friends.
Then on race day you finish 5312th behind a 70 year old named Ernie.

Sad to hear Jeff Galloway passed away. Micki & I had the pleasure (& honor) of running the Athens Marathon with Jeff and his wife Barbara some years back. We kept up with them over the years at various functions. He was a terrific person and a great ambassador of the sport. Rest in Peace...

Great fun in Pensacola...Heard the Railway set of races was very successful. It was a great tribute to Christina Chambers. I did not know her personally but I knew OF her.
Congrats c to Lindsey Warren for winning her AG in the 10K.
How about that Super Bowl! Did you know with all the taxes in California, Sam Darnold will pay almost $250, 000 in taxes to CA? The winning players get $178,000 but with CA.'s 'jock taxes' he'll PAY more than that.
Oh, to add insult to injury, losing team players pay a similar amount (% wise)....

A bit more positive...when you run you want to feel like your feet are 'quick & light' so, a simple drill I have runners (& people over 45) do to develop quick/light feet and confidence - like going up & down stairs.

Hmm, rollover 'interception' (??) then 53 yards in penalties on the final drive (not counting KC Chiefs + others)...pro football is fixed - convince me I'm wrong.

Not everyone wakes up with a body that works.
Not everyone gets to push their limits.
If you can move, train and show up today - that's not pressure.
THAT is a privilege. Use it!💪

It's National Quitters Day, the day when most people give up on their goals.
How about you? Gonna quit? Gonna start? Or you so determined that you're going to double down?

Non running / training: How is it that the SEC, arguably the richest conference in the USA consistently has the worst officials (football AND basketball) in the country? Just this week - AU vs A&M and then UA vs Vandy...that game took 2.5 hours with 64 SIXTY FOUR fouls. Ye gods!!
