It used to be that when a relationship ended, one person packed a bag, walked out the front door, and started again. That image, however emotionally messy, at least offered a sense of closure. But in today’s economic climate, particularly in places like Geelong, breakups aren’t so simple. A growing number of separated couples are continuing to live under the same roof. Not out of love, or even friendship, but because they simply can’t afford to live apart.

Federal funding is crucial for regional planning organizations like the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) and our member municipalities. These funds are pivotal in shaping our infrastructure, public safety, and economic future. Without these funds, our ability to plan and implement key projects would be significantly hampered.

The story, reported by the New York Times and German news organization ARD, surrounds 23 Chinese swimmers, 11 of whom will compete at the Paris Olympics, testing positive for the heart medication trimetazidine (TMZ) during a training camp seven months out from the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

Before we get to your book recommendations, tell me a bit more about running. Why did you choose to focus on that particular activity? Running is my vocation. It’s something that I know really well. I use it as an applied instance of where we can grow in virtue. Maybe you like gardening, maybe you’re a cyclist, maybe you play the piano. I chose running to think critically about the ways in which we can be formed in our character through having these applied practices.

Like many, I’ve been thinking about the extreme weather we’re facing in the northeast, as well as in other parts of the country and around the world. In the Capitol Region Council of Governments (CRCOG) region alone we have seen the devastating impacts of flooding in north Hartford and along the Connecticut River in Glastonbury. This flooding has displaced homeowners and businesses and severely damaged property, including local crops, straining local food systems.

Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app. As we ascend into the alpine on the Appalachian Trail (AT), the weather begins to deteriorate. After 4,000 feet of uphill we gain Madison Ridge, laughing and chatting as the sun begins to set. Above treeline, however, the wind and rain are so intense that we can no longer hold conversations. The boulder-strewn trail is so slippery that we can no longer hop with abandon.
