Iβm not sure why, but this year Iβm really getting a kick out of rogue cornstalks in soybean fields.

β½οΈ I was late to the #USWNT game, but what a joy to have Mallory back and see that excellent π Pugh Pugh π!
πͺ΅ Log day update:
Trainer said my form is consistently good with the 70-pound medicine ball, now. (That’s whether it’s lifting, walking with it, hoisting it around, etc.) πͺ
Feels good!
I have now received about 10 emails (at various points throughout the day) from Delta saying that my flight from this morning was cancelled.
I think they’re having a rough time over there.
π³οΈYou think prices are bad now?

β½οΈ Yes! 3rd quarterfinal cupset in Open Cup history and Indy Eleven on to the Open Cup semifinal with 2-1 over Atlanta!
