Anyone who’s ever worked out hard knows how it feels to overreach, overdo, overtrain. But if you stay in that “over” zone too long, it can lead to a medical condition called overtraining syndrome, or OTS, from the great @nicoleblades.bsky.social (gift link) www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Eleven more libraries will reopen on Sundays, thanks to the leadership of the City Council. They never should've been closed in the first place.

As Mayor, I'll end this absurd budget dance that keeps our beloved libraries in limbo year after year.
11 more NYC libraries will soon open on Sundays
A $2 million City Council deal will expand seven-day service to more than 30 branches citywide.
