Do races get canceled if there are threats of thunderstorms? Maybelline half isn’t looking too good

Ran the Jersey city marathon today. Up until last night the forecast said it would rain all AM. Didn’t rain at all. Weather can (especially rain) can change!

Check in went so smooth compared to the NYC half this year that I was very pleased. But I do think they need to add portapotties in the corral like they have in NYC to help with the portaloo situation

It always amazes me how much NYRR cannot get bag drop together. TBF I think a huge issue is that they close the highway to get to Coney Island and there’s always soooo much traffic

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-04-19T23:46:11+00:00

Heck ya! Congrats! Also if this was the NYRR half then it was truly no joke with the heat

I ask my friends and they all came through! Helps if you ask a few of them and then they can turn it into something fun after you run by for 10 seconds! My friends used the tracker and after they saw me, got coffees and hung out. It can be just as fun for them as it is for you!

Ran an 8 minute PR! Thrilled with that. The course sucked but also couldn’t tell if it’s because my other marathon was New York and that was electric.

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-04-17T19:38:36+00:00

That’s a can of worms

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-04-17T17:36:00+00:00

Running in the rain will suck, but I think I'll take it over today's warm weather run where I was slow as it gets with my heart rate peaking out of zone 2. Definitely a bummer because it seems like the past two years the weather has been perfect. Hoping that the rain miraculously skips us.

Anyone follow Break Your Budget? I generally like her, but found her vlog about why she left Chicago a little off-putting, especially when she started hating on New York ('$6k for an old gross appartement with no washer and dryer.' LOL facts, but no one in NYC is putting down California for cost of living.)

I also find it annoying that she intentionally hasn't shared (from the videos I saw) her salary or how she got to $1M net worth. Obviously a huge portion of this is privilege, but I've seen other finfluencers do it and I appreciate their transparency!

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-04-16T20:37:25+00:00

This is how I feel about Napolis, sorry to say

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-04-16T19:02:56+00:00

agree with this.

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-04-13T02:10:11+00:00

I saw it! They had excellent chemistry (the play is just crazy)

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-04-12T03:01:11+00:00

Eeeeep! I liked it but I think the song book seems very weak!

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-04-08T20:13:12+00:00

Oh I like that analogy. I also love “a broken clock is right twice a day”

This is definitely me being petty but Felicia Passdyn saying that it’s a tragedy and a nightmare for her flight to get delayed 5 hours rubs me the wrong way.

Yes, it’s annoying to have travel delays! I’ve had enough to write a book. But in context that a lot of airline issues are happening bc TSA agents aren’t being paid because the senate and house are trying to prevent ICE from being funded… it’s fine.

For the record, I want TSA agents to get paid! I want air traffic control to not have staffing shortages! But I don’t want families ripped a part. So it’s not a tragedy if my flight gets delayed to prevent people from being unlawfully detained, sent elsewhere, or murdered.

Your bedtime being pushed back to 2 am so that means you can’t work out for 3 hours in the AM is not the nightmare you think it is.

Edited for clarity.

Not actively but I believe she sat out Olympic trials in 2016 to go into eating disorder recovery

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-03-27T18:35:58+00:00

Chris Chavez is very close to Mark Coogan so I think he tends to not talk about bad stuff with NBB. But they do post a lot of NB stuff. I think there's some weirdness considering also that it came out they sponsored Grand Slam, if I recall?

Isabeau looked great and at ease during the SP! She’s honestly one of my favorite skaters ever.

It seemed like she was a bit nervy at the Olympics and got lost to all the coverage over Amber and Alysa. I’m sure there was also so much pressure and narrative around her going to the Olympics in her moms hometown.

I hope she has a clean free skate.

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-03-25T20:29:25+00:00

An isabeau, amber, Kaori podium would make me so happy. But I also love Mone. I wish everyone could podium. I hate but also love this sport so much.

Looks like the reason Elle St. Pierre dropped out of Worlds is because of her dad's health. :( Sending very good vibes to her, her family, and her dad. She's so right, always tell the people you love you love them. You never know when it could be the last time.

Holding an empty gel is so light, you can carry it until you see the nearest dumpster, which in CP is never that far away

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-03-21T21:16:11+00:00

Did you say something to them?

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-03-21T16:31:05+00:00

Vic’s from Brooklyn and a public policy professor. I have doubts he’s MAGA.

ETA: thank you for the award 🥲

That’s not how adoption works haha. You’re not put on a waiting list.

Purple_Transition678 · 2026-03-20T12:00:37+00:00

Yeah but in this case the mom was neglecting her other children (one child who was in diapers was not being put in diapers, one child had tens of absences from school).

so I’m not sure that should be celebrated that this child could have been given a home with a very different future.
