How's the comeback going? What's different? Strava shows that you are still doing the same rather pointless workouts as always.
It's going great. I was out of shape the past ~2 months because I got sick with some horrible flu-like thing going around, travelled intertionallly once and domestically twice, etc. Getting back into the swing of things and may attempt a real workout come December.

Look at Joe Namath. By his second year at Alabama until a few years ago, Namath adopted a manner of speech far different than his eastern or central PA roots.
Namath didn't "adopt" a "manner of speech" when he played at Alabama, he spoke as he always had. His hometown of Beaver Falls is in far Western Pennsylvania, very close to the West Virginia border, and many people from that area speak with what outsiders might perceive as a "Southern" accent.
It does sound fake. I don't see the motivation, but if that's how he wants to speak, fine.
It's not like he's trying to commit fraud like Elizabeth Holmes, he actually is a good coach.

holy crap! saw you run by today, and so had the good sense to check strava.
Nice!
Distance plus very respectable pacing.
Keep up the good work.
Don't neglect the speed work.

I am not making a general statement about those from western PA. His relatives and those who went to high school with Namath says he changed the way he talked once Namath was in Alabama a couple of years. You really can't tell the way people talk in central or western PA versus Alabama?
