We are tremendously saddened to learn of the passing of Boston Marathon icon Dick Hoyt. Dick personified what it means to be a Boston Marathoner, finishing 32 races with son Rick. We are keeping his many family & friends in our prayers. bit.ly/DickHoyt

i just don't understand how a university that charges 15k+ per year for tuition cant figure out how to keep a team around that at base level really only requires travel costs and a coach... there wasn't any better options? are they really saving that much money....

Sir, you have outdone yourself.
In his first track race since 2017, Mo Farah breaks Haile Gebrselassie's world record for most distance covered in one hour, logging 21,330m (13.25 miles) in Brussels to break Geb's mark of 21,285m. That's 4:31 mile pace for an hour. After the race, he took a knee on the track.

Another positive update on @tommy_rivs’ cancer battle from @kimpuzey “The CT Scan revealed a tumor reduction of more than fifty percent which exceeded expectations... The physicians are being contacted by medical journals because his progress is such a rarity”

Can someone better at twitter than me please lay down Shaggy’s “It wasn’t me” over Trump’s numerous denials of responsibility for basically anything ever. I need some comedic relief. – at Orinda, CA

Excellent
Brown University has reinstated its men's track & field and cross country teams as varsity sports, effective immediately. Full letter from university president Christina Paxson to the Brown community:

If you weren't sure you wanted the paid version ... Click through, don't just read the tweet and make assumptions. Good on ya, @Strava
Read this, understand this, share this.
Replying to @DancingDinks
@Gladwell @BrownUniversity is cutting Men's track, one of its few sports with a large black student population and replacing it with sailing. They said they are doing this to increase diversity on teams. It’s ludicrous. #falsestart link.medium.com/QkZjGJyC26
