BOSTON 2025 was fun as always! 40 years ago I ran.. today my daughter Melissa ran her 3rd Boston in just over 3 hrs. Off her 2:49 PR but still “a great day to run”. Also met Zac Pannings parents and Kevin Hanson in Framingham! @hansonsrun

Simple truth.

The Bible isn’t an old book about things that happened. It’s a living text about things that *always* happen.



What else would any Knight XC alumni do than go to NATIONALS! Looking forward to it:)@LukeWitvliet @CALVIN_XCTF @CoachNFarr Go KNIGHTS!


It was “ a great day to run” for @LukeWitvliet and @CALVIN_XCTF NCAA Regionals Champs! Congrats!

Who cares? I DO! My wife has “encouraged” me to clean up my old running magazines! Thanks @michtrack for all your time! Looks like you have not changed.

Absolutely disgusting! Having to compete after this disgusting opening ceremony is a shame FOR our athletes. #BoycottParis2024

The world is a stage, and Paris is a catwalk. 💅 The #OpeningCeremony is France's largest nightclub. Celebrities are showcasing young French designer talent, while DJ Barbara Butch provides the tunes. The perfect moment for the last delegations to arrive. ✨ #Paris2024

Common sense and fairness prevail!

I have seen this over and over again! Kids need the support of both parents - it will pay dividends in your relationship years after. Plus it’s fun!

The SECOND most important thing for a parent of a HS athlete is to make sure that you are interested in what they are doing. Athletes perform better when parents are at Meets. The MOST important thing is to keep your opinions to yourself and allow the Coach to coach.



It is why so many compete! Keep chasing your dreams @SquiresTFandXC alumni!

Setting excessively high standards to force people to "raise the bar" of performance is appealing But if we look at 20+ years of countries doing this in track & it failing to have an impact/mostly discouraging athletes The model to follow is the US system: give people a chance!



The Supreme Court and much more importantly the FRAMERS are onto something:)

It shouldn’t have taken a panel of judges to rule that women’s sports are only for women, but as a result of their official decision, William “Lia” Thomas won’t be swimming in Paris this summer. #SaveWomensSports standingforfreedom.com/2024/06/court-…


Be honest, be brave.

TikTok removed this ad from their platform for violating community guidelines. Shocker. Should would be a shame if everyone shared this clip and bought from @xx_xyathletics 🙂
