Boston Marathoners: If you run the first mile a little slow because it’s crowded, you have 20+ miles to make up a few seconds. If you run the first mile like you're shot out of a cannon, you have 20+ miles to regret it.

Now do “broken windows” for defaced plates, placard abuse and other petty crimes. Or are you only concerned with crimes committed by people with little in common with you?
It begins at the turnstiles.
Many argue fare evasion is a petty crime that shouldn’t be enforced & don’t care it costs the MTA millions. But they should care that losing control of subway entrances invites disorder & crime.

Why all the talk/tweets about thigh size? IDGAF if you have a thigh gap you can drive a truck through, or if your thighs are so thick they shoot sparks when you walk. If you’re healthy and those thighs help you ride, run or do whatever you want them to do, they’re perfect.

Races are simple and wonderful. There are no time deductions for wearing something cool. You don't get a head start if you're part of a crew, a squad, or have a big social media following. And the clock doesn't care if you "look like a runner."

Depression is a disease, and "success" is not the cure. The stigma surrounding it discourages people from getting help via counseling, medications and other means. No one should be afraid seek help.

It's not a "lifeguard shortage", it's a lack of prioritization. NYC Parks pays far less than other cities, where somehow there are enough lifeguards. Now the safety, health, and wellbeing of NY'ers is impacted. Schools $ cut, a lifeguard "shortage", NYPD budget up by $10B.
Due to the national lifeguard shortage, unfortunately we will not be hosting swim programs, including lap swim, senior swim, and Learn to Swim, at our outdoor pools this summer. Outdoor pools will remain open each day for general swim from 11am-3pm and from 4pm–7pm.

I've publicly criticized NYRR for a number of things - hiking $ for charities, not policing cheaters, decreasing # of time qualifiers for NYCM, etc. - but blaming them for a death in a race where start temps were in the low 60's, and hit 70 when he tragically died, is misguided.
