Morning, friends! ☀️ I know I haven’t been consistent about posting Friday threads recently, but let’s use today’s as a chance to get back on track — I’ve always loved our Friday discussions, and with the New York City Marathon coming up this weekend, it’s a good time to connect.
I’d also like to turn the mic over to you and let everyone feel free to ask away with any question you have — there are so many readers here who can help, and might have just the insight you’re looking for.
So, consider this a completely open thread, ask away on any topic. Because it’s the last day of October — it’s Halloween! 👻🎃 — I’m particularly interested if you’re:
- Running the New York City Marathon this weekend? 
- Have a big long run you’re gearing up for and need a little encouragement? 
- If you’re dressing up, what are you going as for Halloween tonight? 
- Anything of interest that you’d like to share 
Let your freak flag fly! 🏁 — Terrell


I'm running on Sunday! I am so excited to kick things off tomorrow at the Expo.
Thank you for Friday thread, I was missing it. I’m running NYC marathon in 2026 - got in through the virtual lottery and running the marine corps marathon (which was last Sunday with glorious weather even though I did not achieve my time goal). Super excited about NYC, and any advice on the marathon would be much appreciated - it will be my first out of state marathon!
