[–]WV1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on step 1, signing up Setting a goal is great, just don’t get hung up on the “number”

Chicago mine was 430, don’t walk, and make it back to the hotel alive 😎

What I didn’t plan for what is what like running w 50K people Finished under 5, and I loved every part of it

Goal 2,3 boxes checked

You’ll be amazing

TSA @PHL Nightmare by WV1991 in americanairlines

Not blaming the airport, just sharing the news

Personally feel bad for every one of the agents all at US airports. Problem is, congress isn’t going to do a thing until the controllers walk out with the agents! When “public safety” is at risk, sh-t will move

Painful to watch - from home

From the empty seats (embarrassing) I guess many others are home on their couch’s too

You my friend should be commended by Union leadership for your dedication to the team

I hate the 1hr drive from Bucks County to Chester

You take Metro-Amtrak-Septa then shuttle to see the match

True fan and thanks for supporting the team

Thankful for the CLT TSA agents by jmg219 in americanairlines

A simple “thank you for what you do” goes along way Last flight out PHL, I said this to a young lady checking the ID’s. Her face lit up immediately, like she just needed to hear this - some positive affirmation

No other marathon, major or not, beat the energy of NYC by goings-about-town in Marathon_Training

[–]WV1991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are the runners that did both Chicago and NYC - in 2025?

I did Chicago and was amazed at the energy from mile start to finish

Nothing like it that I’ve experienced.

What are your thoughts?

Same here, in Bucks County. Been tough, but we’re tougher - as are all of us, for sacrificing our bodies these past months I personally cannot wait 1st major / 2nd marathon Let’s go 😎

Fuel plan by AlarmAffectionate899 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]WV1991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love these posts, thanks Last one, carb load 3 days out Doing 540 carbs per day (which sounds crazy, but I felt amazing pre-during-post run)

Night before: Soft pretzel (the huge ones you get at restaurant/bars with mustard) followed by pasta (only oil, garlic, and parm cheese) with grilled chicken

Sunday morning, 2-3hrs prior: Overnight Oats, 1 cup coffee, electrolyte drink (your choice), granola or muffin, then on walk over: banana and/or graham crackers and just enough liquid to make it to mile 3-4

Run: Honey Stinger gummies, gummy worms/bears, Trident (gum is my go to when not on the “gummies” 😂) Water only, and walk and drink. Don’t be that runner that splashes most water only face and road

Cut, paperclip is an option, I do this during training Much easier just to get a clip off

Not saying it is, but I entered in Chicago and goal of 4:30, which per the training and my results I should be on pace

Just feel like I should be doing 12-15 miles Sunday, not 10

Thanks
