#004 THANK YOU KATHRINE!
April 19 is a date close to our hearts, for more than one reason.
First of all, it's MUDGIRL's birthday! We have been organizing this fun and 100% feminine obstacle courses run with lot passion for 4 years now.
Second, it's the celebration of a symbolic day: April 19, 1967, the date of an event that changed the world's view of women's involvement in sports.
Let's take a moment to look at this picture.
Wednesday, April 19, 1967, Boston Marathon.
At that time of an extremely sexist society, women were not allowed to run more than 800m (Olympic events limits) under the pretext that they were "too fragile" in nature. Some legends say that beyond 900m of running, they could lose their hair and grow testicles : medieval beliefs related to obscurantism? Not at all, it was 52 years ago! On this day, a woman, bib 261, took off and 42,195 m later, 3h20 later, she still had her hair and she shined. She received the right to run under the name K.V Switzer. "K" like Kevin, Karim, Ken, but Kathrine? You had to ask the organizers to have too much imagination for it to be a woman's name! In this picture we see a hateful little man, Jock Semple, one of the organizers of the marathon: the abomination of what a woman participating, Kathrine Switzer, represented in his eyes, pushed him to run a few meters in order to stop her. Another man stands between them, Arnie Briggs, Kathrine's coach.
What's going on, Jock? Does it feel weird to see a woman more athletic than you? This shot shows that Kathrine is outperforming you: she ran faster than you! Have you no shame Jock?
"Run like never before" - Arnie Briggs on April 19, 1967, a great man
"Get out of my race and give me back this number" - Jock Semple on April 19, 1967, a little man
Too late, nothing will be the same as it was before Jock!
The marathon runners then seem amazed by the scene and Kathrine, with her eyes down, her hair in the wind, looks like a madonna, yes, a madonna who gave women the right to run and who changed the course of history. At the age of 20, then a journalism student, Kathrine Switzer became an icon.
After the publication of this photo, Jock Semple was defeated and finally allowed women to run in the Boston Marathon in 1972. Kathrine then won the New York Marathon in 1974. In 1977, she created an all-female marathon. She also campaigned for the entry of a women's marathon into the Olympic Games. In 2017, she ran the New York Marathon, at 70 years old.
Thank you Kathrine!

Stories like Kathrine's are exactly why these events matter—it's never just about the mud or the obstacles, it's about what people discover in themselves when they push through something hard alongside others. The fact that she signed up not knowing anyone and still came out feeling part of something says everything about the community that forms on those courses. I had a similar "step outside the comfort zone" moment recently, though far less muddy—finally sorting out an 888starz login I'd been putting off for weeks, which is hardly the same league but still reminded me that trying new things rarely goes how you expect. Fair play to Kathrine, and to everyone who shows up nervous and leaves grinning.
Vừa mở v79 lên là thấy giao diện kiểu đồng bộ thật, bấm qua lại không bị lệch nhịp hay phải đoán xem nút nằm đâu. Nội dung cũng chia thành từng khối rõ ràng nên lướt nhanh vẫn nắm được ý chính, không bị ngợp chữ. Mình thích cái cách họ viết kiểu “ăn khớp” ngay từ đầu, đọc vài dòng là hiểu họ muốn hướng tới trải nghiệm liền mạch chứ không màu mè. Kéo xuống thấy các tiêu đề và box tách bạch, nhìn phát là biết phần nào là nội dung chính, phần nào chỉ là thông tin kèm theo.
Yesterday I overheard a conversation in a bar between two guys about a place where you pay exactly according to the price list and the photos are real. I'm always interested in places with no scams, so I found erotic massage online and headed to Prague 1. The apartment was beautifully furnished, they paid attention to acoustic comfort, and the scent of natural oils was amazing. The girl welcomed me and started relaxing me with professional touches. Her kind approach managed to relieve muscle tension. It's hard to find such an honest approach without hidden fees in the Czech Republic. I was absolutely satisfied with the result and felt like a new person.
Thấy bạn bè nhắc nhiều Lc88 nên mình vào lướt thử. Giao diện nhìn khá thoáng, chữ và từng phần nội dung được chia rõ nên xem nhanh không bị rối mắt. Mấy heading lớn cũng giúp nắm ý chính khá nhanh. Tổng thể bố cục gọn, các mục sắp xếp dễ theo dõi và click qua lại cũng khá mượt.
Khi truy cập vào live casino và game bài, mình thấy tốc độ phản hồi khá đều. Trong quá trình đọc thêm thông tin về 88kbet mình nhận thấy hệ thống còn tích hợp thêm slot, esport và thể thao nên tạo cảm giác đầy đủ hơn. Các danh mục được phân chia rõ nên không mất nhiều thời gian làm quen. Cá nhân mình cảm thấy tổng thể được tổ chức khá hợp lý.
