I hate runner Halloween what do you mean you're the WADA agent waiting outside Planet Fitness for Vinny Mauri?
Need to know what he marked for this ballot question
Pope Leo XIV becomes the first pope in history to vote in a U.S. election, submitting a mail-in ballot in Chicago ahead of the midterms. apnews.com/article/vatican-p…
There's no "pancakes unlock the whole menu" at The Cheesecake Factory. The menu is a Haliburton, designed to imprison you with your choice of entree.
There is no salvation.
Cheesecake Factory Elitist recs:
- My go to order for YEARS was the crusted chicken romano but the key is to ask for a little extra sauce on the side. Pasta too dry otherwise.
- The sliders. Four people, one slider each? We're having a great time in a country where a burger is an appetizer.
- Egg roll sampler. Which is which? I still don't know, not supposed to know. Dip whatever, wherever.
- Twist: the veggie burger is also surprisingly good.
- Thai chicken lettuce wraps or salad.
- And chicken costoletta is hiding RIGHT behind the madeira just waiting for you to notice her.
- For dessert, Adam's Ripple is THE number one.
The Knicks winning the NBA championship was actually just a corporate phishing test.
The test has now concluded. We thank you for your participation.
The Knicks' assistant coaches did not receive their championship rings during Tuesday's ceremony, despite being handed ring boxes, according to league sources.
Many longtime employees at Madison Square Garden will not receive rings at all, per team sources.
Those employees got their hopes up in late September, when they were sent a fake championship ring offer as part of a phishing test.

I love how inclusive the running community can be. Vinny was a complete unknown before Glass City. He trains in a completely unorthodox way.
Instead of skepticism and doubt, everyone's been encouraging and excited to see his WMM debut.
My first marathon I'd toast bagels and spread peanut butter. By my third I was just eating them plain straight from the bag.
Can Clayton Young do it with a hamstring tear?
Can Charles Hicks do it on a warm day on a loop course?
Can Vinny Mauri check into the Planet Fitness on State St. after or does he only pay for single gym access?
Sorry my neighborhood mogged the rest of Chicago all weekend.
Did social media ruin Apple Fest? With long lines and large crowds, some believe so. buff.ly/d6F9HDf
Saturday night Josh wants to smack Friday afternoon Josh in the head for not buying chips at the grocery store.
I finished about 90 minutes behind Vinny. I nearly dropped my finisher's pizza when I heard them announce his time during the award ceremony.
He ran 2:05 in his marathon debut -- in Toledo.
His workouts are insane (36 miles at 4:56 pace in one day?).
He does most of his training on Planet Fitness treadmills.
He's running the Chicago Marathon next week.
Inside the enigma that is Vinny Mauri:

Fun fact: Joey Votto was teammates with the Braves starter, closer and lefty mop-up man and the Phillies pitching coach.
These floorplans are also bad for families too. Kids don't need large bedrooms with big closets, but they do need floorspace in main living areas.
