I was thinking that the Saxons and Romans would not understand recreational running. What a strange way to make use of their hard work! Last year I visited the Appian Way outside Rome and marvelled at the stones that had borne centuries of animal-drawn heavy carts and decades of mountain bikes.

Today part of my #longrun 🏃🏻♂️ was on Fleam Dyke. This is a miles-long mound of earth running N-S with a trench to the W. It was made by the Saxons late 5th-early 7th centuries to control traffic and trade into East Anglia from the west. I returned on the Roman Road 🛡️ #trailrunning #running

If you see this, I implore you to post a picture from whatever device you're using with no explanation.
A scale illustration of the Earth and the Moon, with the Earth on the far left, lots of black, and then the Moon on the far right, about 30 Earth diameters away.
In honor of (hopefully) today's launch of NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon in more than 50 years, here is a to-scale graphic of exactly how far away the Moon actually is. (Click image to expand.) You could fit about 30 Earths between the Earth and the Moon!
SECRETARY RUBIO: Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Irans had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have had a much different country.

We hear “stick to sports” too much, but let’s be clear here: Team USA itself refused to stick to sports, eschewing representation of so much great American culture for, uh, Da Troops and nothing else.
Well done! Keep up the great work!
