I couldn't run for more than 30 seconds a few years ago. Now, I'm training for a half-marathon.
- Kimberly Wilson is training for the Philadelphia Half Marathon after losing 200 pounds.
- Run coach Tiffany Templeton created a personalized plan for her half-marathon training.
- Wilson's training includes strength, cardio, and run sessions to build endurance and pace.
I've had a love-hate relationship with running since the Presidential Fitness Test back in the 90s. Running a mile in front of my peers and always being at the back of the pack will certainly do it to you.
So, to think nearly 30 years later, I'd be gearing up to run a half-marathon, almost seems unbelievable.

The real horror of ‘Alien’ and how it explains why we’re not paid enough
Weyland-Yutani is a sort of extreme example of what economists call a monopsony — when one employer dominates a labor market and gains power to underpay and mistreat workers. Sure, it’s science fiction. But a growing number of economists argue that monopsony power is a much bigger deal in the real world than previously thought.
We watch scenes from the movie Alien with labor economist Arin Dube, whose new book, The Wage Standard, shines a spotlight on the problem of monopsony power in the modern economy.

Private Equity: Meeting the Moment

Is The Fed Finally Done Rescuing Markets?
Submitted by QTR's Fringe Finance
GLJ Research’s Gordon Johnson is one of my favorite analysts on the street to read and gets a rare endorsement from me (I hate basically everyone selling sell-side style research) because, like my friend Mark Spiegel, he is one of the last few analysts out there that seems committed to the truth….no matter how ridiculous it makes him look in the short term while he’s waiting for his theses to play out.
Johnson came away from this week’s Fed meeting with a conclusion that would have sounded almost absurd just a few months ago: the Fed may finally be breaking wi

STRC Is Junk Credit In A Bitcoin Costume, And Retail Is Holding $8.8 Billion Of It
Authored by Glenn Cameron via BitcoinMagazine.com,
There is now $15 billion sitting in three securities being marketed to bitcoin holders as the safer, smarter way to access bitcoin exposure: Strategy’s preferred stack, STRC, and SATA.
The pitch is identical across all three.
Tax-favored. 11.5% income. Backed by bitcoin. Money-market risk. 82.7% of the buyer base is retail.
Every word of that pitch is wrong, and the security those buyers actually own is built to fail in exactly the bitcoin environment it claims to harness.
STRC is an unsecured, subordinated, perpetual preferred equity.
