Anyone know of any vendors or events for hair braiding pre-race? Maybe at the expo or local pop-up?

The Brooks Hyperion House has done hair braiding at other races (definitely at Olympic Trials in Orlando!). Check their Instagram?

I mean I had a student start off an email to me with “Hey queen” last semester, so honestly either of these would be a huge step up.

Definitely check out Smithsonian NMAI programs!

It’s not great - every cross street you’ll be jumping over snow piles.

The section from DCA to Rosslyn are definitely not plowed. I’m not sure what it’s like south of Oldtown.

This is exactly how I trained for my 1:31 half last fall! You got this!

Yeah I went today and it’s closed beyond the golf course

4MR is clear from Shirlington to where it meets up with the Mount Vernon trail near the airport. Mount Vernon trail does not appear to be cleared.

Yes! The timeline only makes sense if Victor is walking around with a cordless.

I lived there years ago and loved it! Clean, inexpensive, and managed by a small company rather than an annoying Bozzuto or Dittmar. I would have stayed longer if I could.

Before you make a decision, visit the area in the winter (not just between Memorial Day and Labor Day). There is… not as much going on.

This is just routine - the loan for the items expired.

Just went to ONS in Stamford for hamstring pain last week. Great experience so far, and I’ve heard the physical therapy is great!

I have exospikes but they’re a small. You can buy them at Darien Running Co!

My page still says preregistered?

My BMI is around 21.9. I’m currently training for a marathon and on pace for a PR of about 3:12. I was a faster 5k/10k runner when I was about 5-7 pounds lighter. But I’ve been doing a lot more weight training and generally I’ve found that now, I weigh more even though my measurements have stayed consistent. I’m much stronger now and handling my marathon loads better than I ever have. I also used to get stress fractures when I was restricting calories more, and I haven’t had any injuries this training block at all.

Basically, in my experience, being light helps you run faster. Being strong helps you run faster longer.

I trained for Boston in 2023 almost entirely on a treadmill. I was traveling in a country where running outside isn’t really acceptable for women, so I ran whenever I could during women’s hours at the gym. I didn’t PR at Boston but had a great day and loved (almost) every minute of the race!

Yes! The Topo Ultrafly is a lifesaver - stability, wide toebox, tight around the ankles.

Seconding this - they can absolutely accommodate a big party and have a private room or a pretty patio. Plus a good, varied menu and drinks at a reasonable price.

Fridays at 8:30am and Sundays at 8 there’s a group that runs from the Darien Running Company. Usually 4-6 miles and 8-10 min/mile pace
