The Salomon Speed Cross is obvi the best choice for for stair running in warmer temperatures. The workouts fall into the category of plyometrics or neuromuscular training that decreases injury rates, improves speed and agility, vertical jump and ground contact agility.
The best — and most treacherous — route is along the outer walls of Kyiv Pechersk Lavra.
On the war jacket, this from James1:
Russian missile-and-drone attacks targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure are overwhelming the country’s air defenses, forcing rolling blackouts across the country that could worsen in winter.
The article paints an overly pessimistic picture. The last blackout in Kyiv was months ago.
Z says North Korea is providing Russia with soldiers and weapons. He talks about his Victory Plan, which is basically a list of lethal stuff he wants Team USA and partner countries to donate to Ukraine.
Like James, the president avoids mentioning what we are failing to do, some times spectacularly:
Keep the country united
Attract, motivate new recruits
Build defensive fall-back positions
Figure out a way to keep the population from freezing to death this winter
Fix the country’s gigantic governance mess
The last time I checked, there are about 3.5 million internally displaced Ukrainians, about 6 million Ukrainians living abroad and about 6 million Ukrainians living in Russia-occupied areas of the country (about 20% of the country, including Crimea). So, 42 - 15 = 27 million Ukrainians resident in Ukraine-controlled Ukraine and dropping.
Pekhno has the latest from our nine axis.
And, finally, looks like Uncle Joe will visit Berlin next week. Maybe Z will be there, too. Maybe not.
