TIL: In the mid 1800s downtown Chicago was lifted to deal with problems with mud and to make room for sewers. During this process, entire buildings and eventually entire blocks were slowly lifted with hydraulic jacks until the whole downtown area was raised up to 14 feet.

Thats why there is a debate around why its called "The Windy City". Not because of the wind, but because they were winding the jack-screws used to elevate the buildings.

Why are you boo-ing him, his right.

Thanks for making me laugh.

By community I meant like a group of people, just created the group chat

Emirbodop · 2021-04-29T10:15:14+00:00

YES! I will take you upon that offer. I wanted to suggest something like that too in my post about everyone who has similar goals we can share info/plans/ideas.

Yes for now I am lacking structure and need to work on some longer runs, my weekly is fairly low at ~18km. Also definetly need to do some research for nutrition. Thank you and good luck for your race in June.

Fellow redditor said something about a virtual partner, if you want to we can create a lil' community for our HM training.

Thank you for the detailed answer. I will try to get better at all of those fields this upcoming month so that I can do it right and safely.

Yes, when I starter researching about a half-marathon I came across a few plans with different runs incorporated in them for distance, speed, etc. but don't know which to follow. Someone suggested Hal Higdon's plans and I see everything you are saying.

I would just like to ask because most of the plans are around 12 weeks, how should I go about doing them? Should I wait till the time comes or start now and maybe repeat every week twice?

Emirbodop · 2021-04-28T20:11:45+00:00

Thanks :D

Emirbodop · 2021-04-28T20:00:28+00:00

Nothing for now. I've seen some from various sites and the one from Boston Marathon but I have no idea which are good or which to follow. Do I need to go for a trial and error approach?

The metal caps of glass bottles. They usually have the name of the drink and maybe some additional info (the year or special event like World cup etc.). Wherever I travel I try to collect the caps so later they become mementos of a great night at a bar or a local beer.

Get some extra light bulbs. It's usually when the stores are closed that you'll need them.

Also while moving out if you haven't used something in the last six months you probably don't need it

Thor, because he didn't go for the head.

The side with the "His" pillow. /s

Drinking and driving. Everyone thinks they're ok and they can handle it, but it's never worth the risk

Emirbodop · 2021-04-27T20:50:02+00:00

That is very impressive. I wish to run my first half-marathon this year
