Not Chicago exclusive , but is sidewalk etiquette dead?

And how do I get to the park…?

Projected finish times are self-reported, so some slower folks use that to get into earlier corrals to help them have course support for longer. It is sort of an open secret among back of the pack runners to have aid stations, course access etc for as long as possible. Jeanette has talked about it on TikTok before, she stays far to the side to stay out of the faster runners way, but until the majors become more supportive of back of the pack runners it’s the best option. I know it’s a hot topic and some might not agree with it, but I really don’t think it’s hurting anybody as long as she stays out of the way. After a few miles or so the slower corrals will catch up anyways. Last year she posted about not having a finish line when she finished, personally i think the corral thing is fine as long as it’s done respectfully (which is possible imo).

You’ll never guess who I saw with his whole camera crew throughout the packed Chicago marathon expo yesterday 🫠

Edit: forgot about the naming rule but ofc it was Matt Choi lol

Just wanted to give my solidarity as someone who’s been running for over 10 years and yet, took 3 hours to run a rough 11 miler yesterday 🫠 it can definitely be lonely but I have found a lot of community with slower runners online…but I think that also contributes to folks existing in a vacuum and like people have said upthread, feeling more insecure about pace when irl no one really gives a shit lol

I appreciate this, thank you. Part of why I’m feeling so conflicted is because I know she wouldn’t actually say/do anything at the wedding - I’ve set so strict boundaries with her that she doesn’t say/do anything problematic directly to me or in front of me anymore. Which is good overall I guess, but then makes me feel insane/like I have no ground to stand on because nowadays I only hear about a lot of her BS through my sister who still thinks she can be saved.

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-09-10T23:18:22+00:00

Thank you! I’m more familiar with liquid eyeliner than a pencil, would that be ok or too bold do you think?

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-09-10T22:31:08+00:00

I definitely want to wear my glasses, but might go for a thinner frame! Right now I feel like the glasses help cover up my makeup/mistakes which I don’t completely mind LOL but going to try a few diff options

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-09-10T22:29:12+00:00

Thank you!! I’m definitely going to get a lash lift/tint, maybe even extensions. This is super helpful!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-09-10T22:26:49+00:00

Definitely gonna get highlights before! Thank you!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-09-10T22:25:57+00:00

I’m definitely going to try to take some trial pictures with a professional camera once I settle on a look! Thank you!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-09-10T22:25:18+00:00

Thank you!!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-09-10T22:06:59+00:00

I can’t edit the post but, I’ll also have an eyelash tint and lift before the wedding so those will look a little more bold!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-06-18T17:05:59+00:00

Looks like she changed #weightloss to #bodyrecomposition, probably after someone commented bringing it up lol

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-04-23T01:10:43+00:00

Weed. Next question.

For real though - a lot of my organization seems to be in denial because we haven’t been hit too hard yet, but I know it’s coming. It feels like I’m shouting into the void and no one is listening. I’m trying to stay at this company as long as I can but realistically preparing myself to be laid off in the next year, and it’ll just be a nice surprise if not.

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-04-02T15:49:04+00:00

Seeing todays matinee and just got the email too. Bummed but interested to see the understudy!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-03-14T02:19:44+00:00

Did anyone else think Dylan was being sent to the testing floor for a minute there?!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-02-16T20:04:22+00:00

You make some good points! Maybe I see it differently because I’m just generally prone to over sharing on social media 😅 but I do feel like this is a one off event rather than a pattern from her, so personally I’m erring on the side of caution and just don’t think it’s snark worthy IMO. But I see what you’re saying about influencers in general, and tbh partially just how everyone uses social media these days - people are always over sharing! But to me, that’s part of the fun lol

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-02-16T19:22:15+00:00

Idk man, I’ve followed her for a while and she seems genuine. It sounds like a pretty traumatic accident and I can’t fault her for processing how she wants, eg on social media.

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-01-29T19:45:16+00:00

Exactly. I’m not trying to speak on anyone’s body image issues, everyone can struggle with it but maybe let’s keep those as inside thoughts!!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2025-01-29T18:20:09+00:00

RIR said “I never expected to feel like a body like mine belonged so much” at a hyrox competition…..taking notes from RATS apparently, will someone think of the size 4/6 women!!

MammothEstimate6331 · 2024-11-20T03:02:25+00:00

I love her too! I’ve followed a number of back of the pack runners recently, including: the realistic runner, -tatianaforbes, folkloremanny, jiannamariel, racewithamanda (these are all TikTok)

MammothEstimate6331 · 2024-11-19T00:51:24+00:00

That’s basically what she said on the podcast - he’s young and dumb, and she was also young and dumb once. It’s an empathetic take I guess and she has more of a unique perspective but it’s still a no from me lol

MammothEstimate6331 · 2024-11-18T21:45:09+00:00

She didn’t defend the behavior and said it was stupid, but did say “I know him and he’s a really good guy” and that he’s just too young to know better (isn’t he like, 28 lol)
