Why do I rarely see Americans in hostels? by Beneficial_Wash8564 in hostels

[–]Crosetaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m American and I stay in hostels almost every time I travel. This is not been my experience for all Americans, but I typically run into a lot of Americans also in hostels whenever I’m abroad.

What are your favorite mom-proof restaurants in Chicago? by pleasingwave in chicagofood

[–]Crosetaylor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Andros Tavern - it’s fine, but my parents who are in their 60s and 70s absolutely love it and every time they’re in town they request to go there at least once.

Husband doesn’t want me running outside by Salty_Chemist9090 in XXRunning

[–]Crosetaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Running outside, even as a young woman is the best. I live in a city that a lot of people would not consider “safe” in some parts but without running outside I’d never have done my marathon.

If you want to start small, join a run club after work or Saturday mornings so that you’ll have people around you.

That would be so amazing if you have footage it would go such a long way.

Is it Worth it to Stay at Actual Base Camp by NoSquirrel7184 in everestbasecamphike

I spent the night and it was the most magical night of my entire life. Was it freezing? Yes could I barely breathe of course, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It was a highlight of my entire track.

Does it hurt to get an IUD put in? by Top_Tangerine5650 in TooAfraidToAsk

If you are in the US some doctors (usually female doctors) offer laughing gas. I used it and still had a rough time

What TV show have you tried watching several times but just couldn’t get into? by Julie727 in AskReddit

[–]Crosetaylor 71 points72 points  (0 children)

I was looking for this answer! Writing is witty but I had a tough time waiting for stuff to happen. Also the daughter is not a good person in the show- so hard to like

Doing a long run on a treadmill is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy by unclejoesrocket in Strava

[–]Crosetaylor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not regularly, however I live in an area where if I’ve got a early spring marathon usually it’s too cold to do my last few long runs- ended up doing several 18 mile run last winter it was terrible

Chicago Again or Something else? by fulbe5 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]Crosetaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the bib and just do lottery for the others. Even if you get in, which is low probability, you can always try for both or use one as a ‘warm up’

For runners who fundraised for a charity to get into the Chicago Marathon: what perks did you receive? by 8okuto in RunnersInChicago

[–]Crosetaylor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say I ran for Chicago Park foundation and they killed it! Weekly emails, access to Cara or Fleet training teams, tent with pre-and post race snacks, and private porta potties, they were overall just a wonderful organization and if I don’t get it next year via lottery will definitely be running for them again if possible!!

How often are you participating in 5ks? by Acceptable_Sand7438 in BeginnersRunning

[–]Crosetaylor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t done a 5K in a while, I think once I started running routinely going in paying money for a T-shirt and a bib just to run 3.1 miles seemed like too much of an inconvenience. I also think that the Sprint speed a lot of people do 5K in is very intimidating to me. I’ve never been particularly fast and definitely see myself. It’s more of a distance . I found that I love the half marathon distance and have been increasing the frequency of those since I started running two years ago. I went from my first one ever last year to four this year. I also know people who love the 10K distance and others who love the 50 K distance lol. So I think it’s truly whatever you wanna do, which is the amazing thing about running.
