    The Running Thread--2024

    Today, my avatar takes on special meaning. I made the horribly painful, "will always feel guilt" decision to euthanize my dog, Buddy. He was nearly 18 yrs old, and the ravages of age made it, probably the smart choice, but most assuredly not an easy one. This death was probably harder than...

    Sorry about your cat. It sucks. I'm making preparations for my dog. Your recollection of some of his "finer moments" made me laugh.

    The Running Thread--2024

    WCVB Boston streams it. https://www.wcvb.com/nowcast I don’t think it’s georestricted, but a VPN could get around that. Let’s all cheer on @xjillianpaige and @dis_or_dat as they tackle the race on a sunny (and too warm)day. Heading off soon for my volunteer shift.

    If the soles are in good shape and the holes don’t bother you, I’d keep them. I was fitted for a pair of shoes that I had the same issue with (I think they were a half size too big and my toes poked through). They didn’t cause me any problems running, so I wore them til the usual 400 miles.

    The Running Thread--2024

    First time I have forgotten to pack a vital piece of running gear (my capris) before a race. Thank goodness my daughter runs and I could use something of hers. Race (Boston 5k) was pretty decent. The self seeding was horrendous-live and learn. It was cool to run through the Marathon finish line...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    Not sure what kind of room you have booked. Last time I was there, I snagged a coveted Value studio and requested a specific one that ended up with a savanna view. That was great. Another nice thing--it was no problem to get up really early after doing Dopey, so Monday morning I made a coffee...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    It's a long shot, but the races do occasionally open back up.....for nanoseconds. Your best bet to monitor is to do something like this..... https://teamrundisney.com/chrome-rundisautofill So you could sign up for Telegram and the MW alerts: https://t.me/runDisMarathonAlerts

    REMINDER: You need 10 posts to DM or receive DM. Go to the test board under tech supportcstat to boost your count. Also....glad I'm not trying to get anything cause I have 3 links over an hour. Not going to be much help to anyone else.

    Congrats on your race. I hope lots of people give feedback on that finish--not good. Also, beautiful sunrise photo! And the Weisman Museum screams "Frank Gehry".

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    So for the last few normal years, 5k usually goes first. 10k is generally an early sell out (2nd 3rd), then maybe Dopey then half. Marathon is usually the/one of the last races to sell out. You should be okay either way (doing them serially or together)
