Welcome to Week 5 of my BQ or Bust journey as I train for the 2024 Chicago Marathon with one big goal: qualifying for the Boston Marathon. If you're training for a marathon, dealing with PT frustrations, or wondering how to pace a race properly (spoiler: I didn't!), this week's got everything you need. This week was a GAME-CHANGER:
A heat advisory is in effect until Wednesday night. A combination of high temperatures and humidity could cause it to feel like temperatures are in the high nineties. Today marks the start of housing week – a week Mayor Adams is dedicating to new housing projects across the five boroughs. This morning, Adams joined city officials and developers in Coney Island for the groundbreaking ceremony for over 400 new affordable housing units. WFUV's Joseph Vizza reports. The Department of Agriculture has asked states to submit data on food assistance applicants. In response, twenty states are suing the department. WFUV's Livia Regina explains why. The BQ flea market is a collection of local vendors that get together every weekend. WFUV's Alexandra Pfau took a trip to Brooklyn to check it out.

Welcome to the very first OFFICIAL week of Chicago Marathon training! Whether you're on a treadmill or just hanging out on a run, lace up and join me for a 35-minute run for week 1 run 1 of my 16-week Marathon Build For The Chicago Marathon! BQ or Bust started in 2016 as a moonshot goal for me to take my marathon time from 3 hours 59 minutes to 3 hours 35 minutes which, at the time, was my Boston Marathon Qualifying Time (BQ). I vlogged the entire experience and had to rumble with perfectionism, a fear of failure, and pre-defined limits. I was given the opportunity to explore beliefs that were holding me back and given space to grow and change. After a few attempts of falling short, 9 years later I'm trying again. Originally, I thought I aged up. I was back to 3 hours 35 minutes. Then, the qualifying times changed AGAIN and I'm back to 3:30. But like I learned, the only way you can fail is if you fail to try! DARE TO FAIL. WHY NOT!?!? In this episode, we dive into: -I'm injured! Week 1 and I have a little overuse injury. -Defining our why -What I focus on at the start of a marathon build -The heat -What I want out of this marathon build. This go-around is different. Yes, a 3 hour 30 minute marathon is still my North Star, but honestly? The bigger goal is to see what I'm truly capable of. WHY NOT? Now that I'm a running coach with years of experience under my belt, I'm approaching this from a totally new place. This series is my chance to push back on so much of the terrible advice I see online. Running is complicated—and if you're an everyday runner, you cannot just mimic what people running 50+ mile weeks are doing. Here, we're focusing on: ✅ How to make training work for your life ✅ How to avoid burnout ✅ How to have more fun chasing your dreams Throughout the BQ or Bust series, you'll get: ✔️ Weekly "Run With Me" treadmill episodes ✔️ Weekly roundup vlog and podcast episode to keep you in the loop ✔️ Social media hits WHY NOT? Let's find out what's possible—together.
In late August 1979, the FBI's Brooklyn-Queens Metropolitan Resident Agency (the BQ) received a significant tip from a top-echelon informant within the Genovese crime family. This informant, known as "Bob," reported that Paul Castellano, head of the Gambino crime family, had mentioned an upcoming major meeting at Gurney's Inn in Montauk, New York. The anticipated attendees included prominent figures such as Frank "Funzi" Tieri of the Genovese family, Carmine "The Snake" Persico of the Colombo family, and Tampa's organized crime leader, Santo Trafficante Jr. Recognizing the potential significance of this gathering—the most consequential since the 1957 Apalachin summit—the FBI swiftly mobilized. Agents, including undercover operatives, were dispatched to Gurney's Inn, posing as tourists to monitor arrivals and activities. Specialized personnel were prepared to install surveillance equipment to capture conversations during the meeting. Despite the extensive preparations, the anticipated meeting never occurred. The reasons remain uncertain; possibilities include the informant providing inaccurate information, the mobsters altering their plans, or suspicions about increased surveillance leading to a change in venue. This outcome was reminiscent of the 1957 Apalachin meeting, where law enforcement's unexpected presence led to the mobsters' dispersal. While the immediate operation at Gurney's Inn did not yield the expected results, it underscored the FBI's evolving strategies in combating organized crime. The bureau's readiness to deploy advanced surveillance techniques and coordinate large-scale operations marked a shift towards more proactive and sophisticated approaches. This evolution contributed to significant successes in subsequent years, including the Mafia Commission Trial of 1986 and the conviction of John Gotti in 1992. This episode about the FBI's almost-successful attempt to bug a major mob meeting at Gurney's Inn illustrates the challenges law enforcement faced in infiltrating organized crime and highlights the pivotal role such operations played in modernizing the FBI's methodologies. Joining us in this episode, we have: Daniel Edward Rosen, a staff reporter from the New York Sun, whose work has appeared in Esquire, the New York Observer, City Journal, New York Magazine, and the New York Times. See his original article: https://www.nysun.com/article/how-the-fbis-mad-dash-to-wiretap-the-mob-at-a-montauk-hotel-nearly-50-years-ago-helped-modernize-todays-agencyFrank DiMatteo joins us to provide color commentary based upon his experiences growing up embedded in one of the most infamous mob crews in the history of the American Cosa Nostra. Frank is the son of Ricky DiMatteo, a member of the legendary Gallo Crew of the Colombo Crime Family in New York City. He is also an author of several books in his own right including Growing Up Mafia, Mafia Hit Man, Lord High Executioner, The Cigar, Carmine the Snake, Red Hook, as well as the publisher of Mob Candy.

Welcome to season 3, episode 21 of The Fuel Run Recover podcast, where I'm so excited to share with you this conversation with recent Fuel Train Recover program 'graduate' Diane Wing, who shares her inspiring story of overcoming immense personal challenges to unlocking a BQ performance at this year's Fargo marathon. But, as if that isn't enough of an accomplishment for one season, Diane is currently planning a run across Manitoba this summer to raise money for mental health and suicide prevention. Here's a little more about Diane!Diane Wing is a 1st grade teacher, mother of 2 and a grandmother of 2 (her 4 greatest accomplishments) from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. She started her running journey after her husband passed away in 2012 for her mental wellness. In 2014, she ran her first 1/2 marathon at the MB Marathon as part of a relay team with her cousins (as a tribute to her late husband, Kelly). She really enjoyed this experience and was hooked. A couple years ago, she decided to start a running group in Portage la Prairie and met some amazing like minded people. Some of them have even done some travel fun races together (Vegas and Phoenix Rock and Roll 1/2 Marathons). Last year she decided to run a 1/2 marathon in each province. This year she decided to try to qualify for Boston at the Fargo Marathon and to do a run across Manitoba for her 50th birthday (50km a day for 10 days). To accomplish these last two goals, she needed some help getting her guts under control. This is where Steph came in (she was perfect because could help Diane achieve her running and dietary needs goals). Recently, Diane got her BQ time and now she is focused on her run across MB. She is hoping to see some friendly faces along the way and raise some money for CMHA (mental health and suicide prevention).You can learn more about Diane's journey and support her by visiting her Facebook or Instagram pages, and donate to The Canadian Mental Health Association here!
