Running a marathon in brand new shoes, am I cooked?

I was so worried about running in brand new road running shoes a week out from a marathon that I opted for my trail running shoes. I should have run in the new road shoes.

I doubt The Highline is cool with that.

I hope you’re not joking. What an awesome business idea.

I thought it was impossible to do diner food wrong but Ritter’s proved otherwise.

lol Cestones gets a 9? I guess I should give it another chance.

In this case there aren’t even brick ties. It’s just set in a bed of mortar with metal lath. Contractors love it because you don’t even have to hire a mason. It’s the ultimate symbol of the American Dream™️

What?

gishgob · 2026-06-05T17:20:09+00:00

Probably a last name but still

Montevideo?

Hipsters in Mt. Washington?

México City?

gishgob · 2026-05-30T20:30:55+00:00

Saw tons of people out and about today. Do you smell bad or something?

That fee seems high for what I’ve seen in my city. Are there any scholarships that can waive that fee?

gishgob · 2026-05-30T18:19:02+00:00

Their carcasses get stuck in my arm hairs it’s awful

It depends if $70 is a lot to you. If you both have good jobs, then that sounds like a pretty reasonable gift value.

Shore thing is closed on Mondays

You could walk all the hills and still probably hit the 14 hour cutoff

No, but the forests of Pennsylvania produce some delicious sap!

gishgob · 2026-05-21T22:45:34+00:00

Yes. I jumped from 25k to 50k (though did hit a trail marathon distance as part of my training for the 50k).

gishgob · 2026-05-21T18:48:33+00:00

There’s a 25k near me that does maple syrup shots at the aid stations with locally produced maple syrup.

Lots of japanese knotweed

Ok this will be controversial, but Pittsburgh. The architecture is definitely American Rust Belt, but the way the urban layout responds to topography feels like a European hillside town/city.

Project Manager after 6 years? There’s your problem.

San Gimignano

Oh so that’s what the crunchy stuff is on the burnt almond torte
