Many people go to breeders to find a dog, and others to the pound, but sometimes, especially when it’s really meant to be, the right dog finds you. It was a Saturday evening, about a month later, and Elizabeth had run down to the local deli to get something for dinner. As she left the store, her arms laden with a large salami and a bag of groceries, a mangy, smelly dog, hidden in the shadows of the alley, watched her walk by. Although the dog hadn’t moved in five hours, he took one look at her, pulled himself up, and followed. Calvin happened to be at the window when he saw Elizabeth strolling toward the house, a dog following a respectful five paces behind, and as he watched her walk, a strange shudder swept through his body. “Elizabeth Zott, you’re going to change the world,” he heard himself say. And the moment he said it, he knew it was true. She was going to do something so revolutionary, so necessary, that her name—despite a never-ending legion of naysayers—would be immortalized. And as if to prove that point, today she had her first follower. “Who’s your friend?” he called out to her, shaking off the odd feeling. “It’s six thirty,” she called back after glancing at her wrist.

John Kelly tried to prevent intelligence from being taken upstairs to the president or left in Trump’s possession after briefings. Trump’s behavior illustrated why Kelly was concerned: Trump waved items such as his letters with Kim Jong-un, which he appeared to believe the North Korean leader had written himself, at visitors to the Oval Office, including reporters. Some saw nefarious ends in this behavior while others believed he was operating with the emotional development of a twelve-year-old, using the intelligence data to get attention for himself.

By about thirty-six hours postworkout, the whole process is pretty much complete. So every time you beat up and tear down muscle fibers, especially with running and weight training, you’re looking at approximately thirty-six hours of recovery before another high-quality session is doable or efficacious. And if you jump in too soon, you’re wasting precious training time by beating up your muscles in an underrecovered state.
