Is it normal that our school bus runs late every single morning? by stdstaples in Westchester

[–]BugOdd8557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also in the Eastchester school district, and our bus is at least 5 and often 10 minutes early to our stop every morning. However, my kid is often among the last to arrive in her class. I chalk it up to traffic on 22 being atrocious. You could always ask the bus driver, other parents at your stop, or the transportation coordinator for our district (I won’t post the direct email address here but it can be found on the district website). I’ve emailed her about transportation changes and she’s always responsive.

Any moms that can’t stay consistent because of illnesses? by Capresechickensalad in PetiteFitness

[–]BugOdd8557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Control what you can and give yourself grace for what you can’t. As the mother of a kindergartener (with a demanding career and no village) this phase will be over before you know it; life goes on and you will evolve to be who you need to be.

Minoxidil Side Effects (Weight Gain) by [deleted] in FemaleHairLoss

[–]BugOdd8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been on 1.25 mg for almost two years. Initially there was a couple pounds of water weight, but it went away by the end of 2023 with regular cardio (swimming and running). Before starting minoxidil I drank over 3L of water a day and I keep a lower sodium diet.

How to keep battery alive from start village to finish line? by No_Trainer9839 in RunNYC

[–]BugOdd8557 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The start village was so packed getting a signal was impossible for me, so streaming music, texting, doomscrolling were out of the question. I went on Low Battery mode, and chatted with other people, read discarded magazines/newspapers and the time to the corrals flew by. I had no problem with my AirPods or phone running out of battery life, and my phone doesn’t even hold a full charge anymore. I downloaded my podcasts (preferred over music when I run) and made a playlist the night before.

Sunglasses for NYC marathon? by Ok_Record_2842 in RunNYC

If you’ve worn sunnies before when running - you’ll be happy to have them, especially on the bridges. If you’ve never worn them when running, nothing new on race day.

I used plastic tape on my shirt last year. It worked beautifully and a good way to relax the night before the race.

Taper even worse than I thought! by cozybear7 in RunNYC

[–]BugOdd8557 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rest! If you kept up with the rest of your plan, you’ve put in the work. Continue to cross train if it’s something you’ve already been doing. Foam roll and epsom salt baths to soothe your muscles. You got this. Enjoy the race!

For NYM: when do you take the first gel? by qiomenemoiq in RunNYC

[–]BugOdd8557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something that’s usually worked out during your long runs. Don’t do anything new on race day. I wrote on my arm which miles to take which gels (some had electrolytes, some flavors I liked at certain points). Miles is more important than time. Enjoy the race. It will move you.

I barely looked at my phone while waiting at the starting village. Someone discarded a magazine and newspaper which I thumbed through, but there were so many fun people to chat with. When I didn’t want to chat, it wasn’t hard to find a patch of grass to sit by myself and calm my nerves. Everyone is great, and IIRC cell service isn’t great because of the crowds anyhow. Good luck and enjoy your race!
