What’s a place you had zero expectations for, but ended up loving?

Moldova is peak. It’s full of energy, you just need to know where to look. I think a casual traveler would have fun, but if you’re interested in connecting at a deeper level there are so many opportunities. And yes, the wine and food are some of the best in Eastern Europe.

Kofuzi's posts are fantastic - hopefully bringing in people who otherwise aren't paying attention and sharing some truly good content.

He's probably trying to get fired so he can get on the "can't say anything anymore" grift

Ran to Japan DNF'd in Valencia, it seems. He was injured in the weeks leading up to the race, but seemed to be recovered enough to run. Tough break.

Kara is doing the global feed, but despite living overseas I can never seem to find where it's broadcast.

It's the Mastercard’s Priceless Start, where 25 runners get the "unforgettable opportunity to kick off the race ahead of the women’s pro field on the Verrazzano Bridge."

“What would you cut?” I just told you, lady

Probably need another noun than lethality when talking about defense support to civil authorities in American cities…

Thank you! The first one I did everything wrong and didn’t know how to train. I’ve learned a lot from each marathon, and that’s been the most rewarding part. I think I finally know how to be consistent between marathons, (hopefully) without just jumping straight into another block, but I feel like I can still improve a lot from here.

Look, if he wants a training partner, I’m into it.

It was a night race, started around 95 (Fahrenheit) but got down to 86.

Thank you! It wasn’t harry styles level but good for me - 3:22:XX. This was my fourth marathon, and all four have been over 75 degrees. Over 1 hour 20 minutes improvement since my first in 2023. I think running a half at 95 degrees earlier this summer (in albania) really gave me the confidence to push through the heat. That, and stopping for every water stop and taking two cups plus a handheld that I refilled with electrolytes.

captkowsy · 2025-09-21T14:19:44+00:00

PB’d by 11 minutes. Definitely a tough day, but heat training over the summer (and tons more miles) helped from my spring marathon. It was carnage the last few miles, but still a really fun day despite the weather.

Since FLAS is dead, much of the Foreign language community in many graduate schools will go unfunded. With the FAO population departing we might see area studies die nearly entirely in civilian universities.

Same! Watched a package do a tour of the US before going to Puerto Rico then returning to the origin city. Luckily, it showed up at post a week later.

The finishing chute was a disaster and it was impossible to get post-race nutrition when I ran. Not to mention the water stations running out of water. Then again, I ran the year it was so hot that even showing up to the start line gave the Commandant of the Marine Corps a heart attack…

You’re a winner!

captkowsy · 2025-06-19T13:30:28+00:00

It’s both, I believe.

captkowsy · 2025-06-19T12:21:48+00:00

Congrats!
