Finally, after four tries - finally sub-5. PR feels so good. Time to go eat way too much pizza and ice cream.

Unacceptable that society expects me to run a marathon on Sunday and then go back to regular life the week after. I need at least a month, maybe two, to regain my composure.

That PR finish line feeling

Broke my own rule about purchasing from MarathonFoto but this one was too good to pass up. When I crossed the finish line and saw the time on my watch I let out the most primal scream of my life 😂 then I promptly burst into tears 🫠

Can confirm. I made sure to go out of my way to high five any spectator I saw with a “Fuck ICE” sign.

I gave a lot of high fives.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.

UCLA and Northwestern beating Penn State is an example of how tough the entire Big Ten is and 5 teams should make the playoffs... Am I saying this right SEC?!??

Northwestern has a transitive win over Penn State. Also an actual win over Penn State

I will not be directing anyone’s attention towards the score of the Northwestern game, it’s too early

NO. As a dual MSU/NU fan, we do not want Fitz. He was starting to tailspin at the end of his time in Evanston. Not a good coach in this era. Good motivator, but too loyal to shitty staff. Very similar to late-stage Dantonio.

Is it possible the Smith hire was an overcorrection after the Tucker era? Going from a coach obsessed with swag and his own brand to a man with absolutely no brand whatsoever.

Maybe we need someone down the middle.
