    Marathon Weekend 2025

    On the sick-or-not rides topic, I’ll offer my weirdo data points… There is only one very specific type of motion that makes me feel nauseous, and I’ve only ever felt in in two places: 1. The backseat of my late grandfather's enormous 1970s Lincoln 2. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey at...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I’m gonna take a min to counter this, because despite my SW-geek credentials, I think GOTG absolutely IS an experience! It does require taking adequate time in the queue to get the full experience, admittedly, but there is an entire, very cool storyline in there and is a large part of why I love...

    SAFD: the Sophie’s Choice edition?! Oy, this is HARD. 1. GOTG. But by only the narrowest of margins, and strictly based on the times I’ve gotten One Way or Another on it. Because Rise >>> GOTG with Conga playing. 2. HM. As others have said, a classic needs to be in here, and because it’s my...

    Seriously! I’m barely squeaking out 5 miles at this point, and in my mind I’m doing Barkley now. #thanksJasmin :rotfl2:

    OMG. I couldn’t even stand my ski boots for more than 10 minutes in the lodge! Those suckers were off while I was stopped for lunch or dinner. Cannot even conceive of being able to RUN in them!

    … needles, half a rotting T-Bone steak, too many roofing nails and screws to count… (all things I’ve seen on the well-maintained, super safe suburban sidewalks I run) Hard pass from me on ever being barefoot! Heck, even the grass isn’t safe, thanks to a milliony fire ant mounds everywhere you look!

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    I have no dislike for the artwork, I like the color scheme… but not a bit of it says “Nostalgia” to me. :confused3 Maybe I’m just, you know… old?! :rotfl: I remain faithfully Club No PoT and will offer my usual wisdom to anyone worried about not being able to get a PoT: I’ve been happily...

    Marathon Weekend 2025

    These days, I’m ALL about team “just.” The 3 b2b2b days at W&D did me in last year, and the two-day b2b 10K + Half(of a half) at MW wasn't a lot better. Not sure what happened, but I no longer have any interest in more than one race per race weekend anymore!

    I tried the Novablast and it was too squishy for me - this seems like it does not bode well for the Cumulus then lol!

    Agreed, and I should clarify: my car is parked, not moving, whilst screaming into the void. Because it’s the only place I can do it.

    Across the board, stack heights just keep increasing and I’ll readily admit that I HATE it! I’m small and light: all that cushion is a waste for me because I can’t get enough out of it. And I want some ground feel! Basically I’m old and I want old-school running shoes, and it’s getting really...

    OH BOY, SHOE TALK?! I am so in!!!!! :banana: Never in my many decades of running shoe purchasing have I had a shoe that was unusable for anything - until the Glycerin 20. I’m talking, I can’t run in it, walk in it, stand in it, or even sit in it without extreme pain! Pain in my feet, knees...

    Discussion/support regarding "Next Level" by Simms & Yeager

    Hi @avondale YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! Felt like you need to hear that today. :flower3: Hang in there. For me, I’ve figured out that every time I’ve tried adding estrogen (via Rx gel or natural cream), it helps my joint pain a treat, but makes me extra-super ragey. Like, on many a day, I cold have...

    I’m still cold most of the time thanks to autoimmune disease, but add me to the list for hot flashes feeling so much worse when the temps are lower! They’ve been especially bad the last few nights.

    Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend (Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2024)

    The shirt size glitch was a new one to me. Also the huge bouncing up and down queue times, but especially when 3 different queues on different browsers all started bouncing in synchronicity. As for sellout times, I still remember the olden days, when I registered for the Princess 5K a month...

    I genuinely do not know if I say “I’ve never seen it THIS bad before” each time because I just don’t remember how bad it was before… or if it’s actually worse each time. 🤔
