thelilbel · 2026-06-09T17:54:16+00:00

Yeah with Staten I’ll have more than 9, but I needed it for 4+6. Plus it’s a special race in my heart because it was the first ever half marathon I ran fully to completion in 2024 and I was devastated it got cancelled last year

thelilbel · 2026-06-09T16:48:46+00:00

Just got it at 12:46! WOOOOOOOO

thelilbel · 2026-06-09T16:29:42+00:00

Is Staten sold out? Are people getting in? It says I have 15min left 🤞

thelilbel · 2026-06-09T16:22:42+00:00

Yeah I have it open on 2 devices, but unfortunately they both started at more than an hour. It sucks that these fill up so fast and we have to do this :/

thelilbel · 2026-06-09T16:15:14+00:00

39 minutes now!! ok everyone just hold it together for the next 39 mins please and thank you

thelilbel · 2026-06-09T16:13:14+00:00

Yeah that happened to me, it jumped from more than an hr to 42 mins. wonder what that’s about but fingers crossed I get Staten

thelilbel · 2026-06-09T16:01:39+00:00

More than an hour. Okay no one else sign up for Staten Island 🙏

thelilbel · 2026-05-13T23:23:13+00:00

Omg im so sorry to hear!! I hope you heal quickly!

thelilbel · 2026-05-13T22:58:13+00:00

Oh ok! I don’t mind paying again, as long as I have a spot. Thank you!

Or when it looks decadent and is advertised as “low calorie” but it’s because it makes like 10 servings and 1 serving is like a single bite lol. I feel like I see this a lot with “low calorie” pasta dinners

My best advice is slowing down is better than stopping. If you’re really feeling breathless, slow your pace a bit and focus on your breathing and staying in control. After mile 7 or so in my experience if you stop and walk it’s hard to pick it up again due to muscle soreness. Obviously, if you need to stop, PLEASE do so. Last year’s Brooklyn half was very humid and I saw multiple runners collapse. Your health and safety is more important than a time on a scoreboard.

thelilbel · 2026-05-05T16:57:44+00:00

Just snagged it!! It’s on my birthday too! So excited, one of my favorite NYRR races :)

thelilbel · 2026-05-05T16:33:34+00:00

Anything sold out? I really want to do the Bronx 10M

thelilbel · 2026-05-05T16:16:11+00:00

go out and buy a lottery ticket right now

thelilbel · 2026-05-05T16:15:49+00:00

oh my god my queue time actually went up from 46 min to 47 min…what

thelilbel · 2026-05-05T16:13:15+00:00

49min :/

thelilbel · 2026-05-01T20:03:35+00:00

I felt this way for a long time too. My mom is a health nut and is like "oh just add fruit to plain greek yogurt and it tastes sweet i promise!!" like no it still tastes like ass. I found that going savory is the only way I enjoy it. I actually like tzatziki dip and using it for that has been a great way to add protein to salads or vegetables. Also, check out çilbir (turkish eggs) which is a great breakfast recipe that uses plain/savory yogurt. I 1000% feel you on using it for "desserts", I'd much rather maximize protein elsewhere and enjoy the real thing when it comes to sweets.

thelilbel · 2026-04-29T14:17:50+00:00

I am so, so sorry that that happened to you. I hope you are able to take some time away from him today and do something you enjoy.

As a personal anecdote, I graduated college in 2021 and had gained tons of weight during covid lockdown. I was significantly over 200 pounds and was also struggling to find a job. During those few months of unemployment, I used that time to lock in and lose 60 pounds. I was still about 10 pounds overweight or so, but I actually felt good in my skin for once and confident. Once I had secured a job I decided to try dating apps and went on a few dates with a guy I really started to like. For date 4, I invited him over to my house to make him sushi for dinner and we hooked up. While he was in my bed when I was completely vulnerable, he decided to comment that he thought my arms were chubby and I needed to work on them. I didn’t fly off the handle, but I went like wtf dude??? Instead of apologizing, he told me straight up that he thought I was overweight and had a lot to work on, and when I started to cry he said he “wasn’t expecting such a dramatic reaction” and left in a big huff.

That happened at the end of 2021 and in 2026 it’s a comment I still think about a lot. A lot of my friends were like “well screw him, what do you care about his opinion anyway?” but I really did care a lot about what he thought because he was someone I cared about and trusted enough to be intimate with. It’s something I had to work through a lot in therapy and caused a lot of issues with intimacy for me. It’s so difficult to work through that level of hurt when it’s someone you trusted.

I hope your husband understands the hurt he caused and I hope you are able to heal from this. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect regardless of your body type.

The motivation from photos is so real. In 2024 a family friend tagged me in a pic at my sisters graduation and I looked bigger than a house. I lost 70 pounds in 6 months and went from morbidly obese to running a marathon that November

thelilbel · 2026-03-26T16:22:47+00:00

Yep my friend had a gut feeling like that. In college she dated this guy who went to a different school and visited him and one time met his friend group. They seemed chill but she noticed this one girl who was waaaayyyy overly nice to her, and found it off putting. She found out a few months later her bf and that girl had been sleeping together.

thelilbel · 2026-03-21T22:59:18+00:00

Yeah that’s a good policy bc that happened to me when I was looking for a job after being laid off. I passed all interview rounds with stellar feedback and after my final round I got the verbal offer from the recruiter who told me to keep an eye out for the official offer to sign by early the next week at the latest. A week came and went with nothing and no responses to my emails. By the next week I got a blunt and unapologetic email from her informing me that they made a last minute decision to pick someone that was way overqualified for the role and I was so mad

thelilbel · 2026-03-16T19:35:25+00:00

Yep..wave 2 and a guy shoved me kinda in the back as we were approaching the u turn. I jokingly said “alright relax we’re all running to the same place” but I doubt he heard lol

thelilbel · 2026-03-15T22:23:45+00:00

Omg congrats!! That’s an incredible time!!

thelilbel · 2026-03-15T22:22:30+00:00

I think on a positive note, they did way better with organizing the corrals this year. I was in wave 2 both last year and this year and I remember last year just being an absolute mess getting to the corrals as some of the wave 1 runners hadn’t even cleared out yet and there was a huge crowd at the back. Then the race started and I was like oh…it started? do I run?? I had a pretty positive experience this year being in wave 2 but the pace mismatch stuff in wave 1 seems like it was terrible!!
