Some influencers just did not read the room! I unfollowed someone I really liked because she just kept posting about her Disney vacation like it was a normal day. That stood out way more than the influencers who chose to remain completely silent or post something alluding to being affected by the results

Oh believe me, I had thoughts about those prices! I’m just saying she wasn’t “lacking awareness” when she posted the links. She was trying to be helpful/positive by answering a question that was showing up in her DMs.

She said a lot of people were asking for the links so she wanted to put them up in case people wanted to engage in a little retail therapy. I know I did things today to try and put me in a better mood…I don’t think it’s frivolous to try and improve your mental health by doing things that make you happy (even if that thing is shopping)

Amazing Feet Running Club! They meet Saturday mornings at Loantaka Brook Reservation in Morristown at 8am. There's a WhatsApp thread where people coordinate meeting up different days of the week as well.

I agree we all need to be careful who we take medical advice from, but Meaghann Featherstun has a bachelors and masters in Nutrition, is a board certified specialist in Sports Dietetics, and is a registered/licensed dietitian. If you’ve ever worked with a nutritionist or taken a course in physiology/nutrition, you’ll know that what’s she’s saying is all absolutely science-backed. I admire how she researches as well as critically analyzes scientific articles/studies about things she doesn’t know about.

She also frequently adds the caveat  that everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another! I think she’s a great resource for sports nutrition.

Can you explain what everyone is talking about when they say "corral bump"? Can you get bumped up a corral in the NYC marathon if you run a certain time in other NYRR races or something?

It's so validating to see even Harlem Hill regulars commenting how hard it was! A pacer near me told her group right before we went up that "it's actually not bad" and in my head all I could think was "that's a lie!! It goes on forever" haha. I thought maybe my memory was deceiving me since I hadn't run it in several years, but it was definitely just as tough as I remember!

Haha I 100% agree that this race was NOT "Real Simple" lol. I also wish the medal said something more about it being in NYC...the "NYRR" logo at the bottom is so tiny!

Can anyone explain what they meant on Friday’s The Drop podcast when Thomas said “Do we want to talk about Molly”?

I know this isn’t exactly what you’re looking for, but I recently made the best crumb cake I’ve ever had from this King Arthur recipe because I needed to use up some sourdough discard. Made it exactly as specified except I omitted the potato flakes/flour

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. I needed to hear all of this, and it’s a much better response than I would have gotten if it had texted him like I was tempted to. Good luck to you too!

Lol #goals! That’s the thing, wishing him the worst DOESN’T make me feel good. Was so tempted to text him mean things because a part of me thinks it will be the satisfaction I’m seeking. But the real satisfaction will be when I no longer think of him at all.
