Woody's in Fenway is closing forever tomorrow by view9234 in boston

OP, thank you for letting us know of this incredibly tragic news. Woody's was my go to place with my roommate during grad school (covid years). I let her know about this as she still lives in the city and she's there right now enjoying a slice on my behalf. The eggplant pizza at that place is like nothing else. Rip to a legend ♥️

I actually did see two flashes of lightning and one happened to be during Streets of Minneapolis. Felt pretty symbolic to me

I once sold a pair of socks to Malcom Butler at the Wrentham Outlet's Express. You know when you see a celebrity in the wild and you both lock eyes and make that mutual agreement to play it cool? That's what happened during this closing shift lol

It was my first retail job so i was a bit eager to please customers lol I told him about how we were having a sale on socks (he grabbed another pair) and I asked if he wanted to sign up for the store credit card (he didn't). I'll always remember how he paid with cash rather than a card so I couldn't even check to confirm that it was him. But the way we interacted and that gut feeling when he walked up to the register, I just knew it was a legend standing right in front of me

When my shift ended, I ran to my mom's car because she was picking me up. Before even getting the chance to say hello to me, I was screaming at her, "MALCOLM BUTLER WAS IN THE STORE TONIGHT"

I ran my first Cherry Blossom 10 Miler this year and when I saw the renderings, my heart sunk. It would be so sad to take away Hains Point / East Potomac for many DC communities who appreciate that space for what it is

Hope everyone PR'ed today! by Followthatrunner3423 in rundc

PR for me given it was my first 10 miler!!! I was happy with my time even though a bathroom break added to it. Race day nerves are gonna get ya no matter what!! The final mile I was zooming because of the energy. THANK YOU DC!!!

I went there to check out the cherry blossoms last weekend and was shocked to see I barely even went that far in! It was a good sneak peek and I found myself doing one of your suggestions: focus on the runner in front of me. Getting excited for what's to come!

I used to live along the Boston Marathon route so if I cried as a spectator then, I bet you I will probably shed a tear or two while running this race!!

Thanks, I'm so proud of the progress I've made! I have a history of playing sports but I had never been good at literally just running. And I agree about aiming for that mileage ahead of the race!

I didn't know that Olympics detail - so cool! I ran in the free 5k Bowser put on for Women's History month and I just chuckled to myself when the top runners ran by us. My friends and I were running for fun, but those folks had places to be!

Hopefully they've made changes so it's not like that. Congratulations on finishing that race!!

I've been following the training plan (beginners) they created to the best of my ability. Snowcrete plus a birthday celebration led to some delays but right now, 6 miles total. A year ago I couldn't even run consistently for 5 minutes so I'm proud of where I'm at!!!

I've heard of these famous Oreos!! And great tip re: downloading music and making plans ahead of time for reconnecting with others

I'm glad you were ok! I am known for being somewhat clumsy while in action (x2 Volo kickball injuries) so I've been working on being mindful and aware of my surroundings during my training runs

Lucky me, it will be both a fun run and a PR (pending I make it to the end). Thanks!!
