If you have a points credit card like Chase, then one not-so-secret thing is to look for Delta availability via Virgin Atlantic or Flying Blue (Air France/KLM). Delta doesn't give them great inventory (and no First/Business), but you can often find flights for much better...

Just read on The Points Guy that they are dropping IAH..... https://thepointsguy.com/news/southwest-airlines-city-cuts-chicago-atlanta-houston/

Agreed. The whole "in focus" and "at a glance" thing is not useful to me. So half my screen is given up to looking at something I don't care about. Just let me pick the data I want to see and let me arrange it how want. Oh well, I don't use it much anyway, so as long as I can identify my...

Tell that to the people who ran the BAA 5k last weekend. I lined up where I was "supposed to"--Wave 1, 8-9 mpm pace. That SHOULD have put me about 3000-ish runners in. It did not. People went wherever they went from all sides of the barriers. I was definitely last 3rd of starters. There was...

Telegram. You can set up a MW alert.... https://t.me/runDisMarathonAlerts Also, as people will note, the openings come and go in a matter of 1-2 minutes. So I have created--but not successfully used--an autoscript. I did it using this site: https://teamrundisney.com/chrome-rundisautofill

@ukplymshaun Congrats finishing your first marathon! It's a distance that always throws up surprises. You never know quite what the weather, course, nutrition, body will deliver on any given day. Hope your recovery goes well.

@dis_or_dat BQ'ing at Boston is very efficient and impressive! (She says a little self-consciously cause I did that once, too) Bummed that I missed you at the finish. As for the lady....let's just say she had company, judging by the people walking past our bus. Well I would like to think so!

Congrats on your PR! IMO, it is much more difficult to get an unofficial PR than one from a race. There just isn't the same feel/external support/motivation as what you'd have in a race, so it's all on you. And you came through!

What great pix of you both!

Congratulations! Don't you just love when a race goes well?

I always regret not upsizing my "Right on Hereford..." T shirt cause it was just too small (but no trying things on when I got it). I would still wear it today if I hadn't given up on it. Weirdly, I do not wear the finishers jacket or sweater that I bought in 2019 (and don't get me started on...

Another vote for extra firm (sprouted) tofu from TJ's and their soy chorizo (great for tacos). You said "non-meat", but didn't say vegan, so I would add Greek yogurt is excellent--it's nice to have for breakfast. Eggs are versatile. I try to snack on nuts--almonds, peanuts (higher in fat, but...

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.

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.

Way to Go @Dopey 2020 !

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...

Welcome and good thoughts re: biopsy. The waiting is the hardest part (been there once before)

Very sorry to hear.
