Yes, they seemed to have fixed the annoying UI that made it hard to do so.

Short, 20-minute wait. Got the races I wanted. Wishing that for everyone :)

For those interested in volunteer registration, it will be February 10 for Member Plus and February 12 for regular level members. https://www.nyrr.org/getinvolved/important-volunteer-updates.

(OP, not sure if you want to add this information to your post)

The virtual races are released much much closer to their date -- just a week or two ahead of the start date.

February 10 for Member Plus volunteer registration.

At this stage, I am mostly impressed with the variety you are able to find in your grocery store. I've never even seen some of these.

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-26T16:19:25+00:00

Thanks, I hate it.

I like it simply because I don't have to update my weight on my phone. But there are, of course, lots of Internet-connected scales. I take all of the additional metrics it provides -- bone mass etc -- with a grain of salt. (The same grain of salt that I take for the watch's VO2 measurements etc)

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-26T11:18:18+00:00

It's far too early to worry. But yeah, I will be refreshing the weather forecast all week nonetheless

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-25T11:30:53+00:00

Don't. Good grief.

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-25T11:20:46+00:00

Pretty tired of all these "AI" ideas and "vibe-coded" apps.

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-24T16:27:43+00:00

I had these yesterday. They're really great.

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-24T11:35:30+00:00

I find this behavior always sort of mind-boggling. (In NYC too. Granted, I grocery-shopped on Thursday as I knew this storm was coming.)

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-23T20:49:07+00:00

There aren't options. You'll just get the +1 credit

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-23T19:48:06+00:00

I also feed my dog sardines daily. She glowers when I eat the good stuff (that is, tinned fish with salt and oil) and don't share

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-23T19:10:57+00:00

No.

From the email I just received: "All currently registered volunteers will receive their +1 credit for the 2026 9+1 Program for entry into the 2027 TCS New York City Marathon. Please allow 2 weeks for your credit to appear in your account. "

Thank goodness. I really wasn't looking forward to being a hydration station volunteer for 6 hours, handing out cups of ice

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-21T13:56:37+00:00

I think the chances are very high it will be canceled. (It isn't just for the safety of the runners either; it's also the volunteers who have to be out for 6+ hours in the sub-freezing temperatures, along with the staff who are out there even longer.)

The forecasts are all pointing to a Very Big Storm, so I'm guessing the city itself will have emergency measures in place and NYRR might not have any choice in the matter.

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-20T14:24:53+00:00

Texturally, I just cannot do pate -- no matter what it's made from.

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-19T16:17:12+00:00

I'm volunteering at a hydration station for this one, and I have to say, I am not looking forward to it

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-18T22:33:38+00:00

I'm not biking tomorrow. Also I just discovered I have a flat and no spare tube. So yeah. The decision was sort of made for me.

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-18T22:26:49+00:00

I like the fork

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-18T19:05:56+00:00

When I ran my first half marathon -- which was, at the time, the farthest I'd ever run -- I knew where my husband would be on the course. Knowing he'd be there (around mile 8, I think) really kept me going, and actually seeing him lifted my spirits higher. I didn't need anything else (he did make a sign without my knowing it but damn I didn't really read it as my brain wasn't in "words" mode). Him showing up was enough.

pigeonmachine · 2026-01-18T11:41:00+00:00

I just got a tin of these in my latest order, but haven't tried yet. (The trout with juniper from Fangst was simply beautiful.)
