Still, from time to time, I go through periods of self-doubt, which lead to short bursts of self-improvement. During my latest attack, I came across a clever bit of exercise-related digital technology that might hold me over until someone invents an automatic exerciser.

His current personal record of 69.98 meters was the 33rd-best throw in the country this year going into the trials...
...Clever placed 25th out of 37 competitors in the men's javelin preliminaries on Monday. With only the top 12 athletes making it to the finals, Clever's throw of 65.76 meters fell short of the 69.12-meter cutoff...
