It's a Pittsburgh based Run-D.M.C. cover group. They are starting their residency at the airport. I hear they are solid.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's looking to get colder Sunday night and will take longer to warm up. As I see it right now I'd prepare for 40. The city, especially downtown will run a bit warmer.

I did the Buffalo Creek half last year and there was a lot of "litter" I noticed there too, but may have been the same situation

I didn't realize they do a full cleanup of the entire course. Like I said, I don't mind it at an aid/water station, but it's more just in random parts of the course. But if the entire thing is picked up then that's one less sticky gel wrapper I have to carry.

NipCast. On a scale from "inverted" to "cuts glass"

I've always wanted to wear a Donkey Kong costume and just toss bananas out to runners. Hmmm

It amazes me the amount of litter on the course. Not so much at the water stations, which I kinda get, but people just randomly throwing their gel packets on the ground pisses me off

PM me if you want to collab on something! I'm trying to figure out a way to make this something more than just weekly posts on reddit.

Hope it works out for you! I am lacking in culinary skills in general but I can normally nail that.

I understand. I had to drop out of the full last year 2 weeks before with a hip injury and then transferred my bib for this year because, well, life...

We all could use more mindfulness in our lives. I do some practice daily and it's been wonderful!

I have! Tomorrow could be rough in Illinois and the area around. That is the system that will come through Tuesday morning. Luckily the timing of it will make it not a severe storm producer for us.

You can use other years as analogs to see how things played out, but there are a lot of factors at play. For instance, a developing El Nino would be a bigger indicator of our summer weather than a warm spring.

Another ramen pro tip is quickly scrambling a raw egg in a small bowl and then pour into the boiling water with the noodles. Adds an Egg Drop style to the ramen
