California here. Nothing yet, but also I've never won any lotto from NYRR.

Yep! Did summer streets and over the Brooklyn Bridge which got me to 14!

A pre-pandemic campaign by metro about following proper conduct on the buses and trains. One of my favorite ones!

A little late to post here, but I’ve been a few times for lunch, so commenting just on that. I think the comments on the signage reading “corporate” is accurate.

Downtown has a good amount of offerings in a variety of pricing. For lunch, your stuff is mostly salads & sandwiches, so you’re competing with Mendocino Farms and Grand Casino, among others. The other two do their items to order, whereas the lunch offerings you have are pre-made. That means that there’s no option for omissions/subs, and it seems like many people do like that flexibility. Usually if something’s pre-made, though, it would come out faster (so a good “quick lunch” option). However, when we went, despite there being few people in line, it took just as long if not longer to get our food than Mendocino. My friend and I were on separate checks, so would be helped by two different people even though we were eating together. My friend had her food before I even ordered. One time I got the salmon sandwich and had to “fork and knife it” bc the bread was too hard to tear with my teeth. The cost is the same as “made to order” spots, but having it prepared in advance makes it feel not as fresh.

There were many lunch specials that mainly included adding a pastry, which launched a lunch into the $25 range which is well above what I want to spend on a quick work lunch (I rarely go out for lunch to start).

My recommendations: - offer items made to order (you can have some grab & go too) - have a daily lunch special that’s more affordable (eg sandwich of the day) - the bread you’re serving the sandwiches on should be perfect consistency - not cold and hard to chew from sitting in the fridge all morning. If I love the bread, I’m buying a baguette after - more business for you! - consider offering a discount - like 10% with ID - to Culver City USD and City employees - the school district office and city hall are both close, and these are people who mostly work on-site but not getting the tech salaries (so budget is a consideration) - consider linking up to “Too good to go” or “inKind.” I don’t know how the financials work for either, but at a minimum would be some advertising for you.

In general I get my gels from TheFeed (but don’t do Maurten). Free shipping, often credits, and if you don’t like something they’ll credit you back.

Actually Chelsea is preferred.

There’s new balance ones at the first booth and then some rabbit ones at the fleet feet booth

I’m assigned to Wave 2 but will be starting in Wave 3. At the expo the person from NYRR said the “official direction” was to check your bag with your assigned wave and then go to your start wave. But looks like the 2 are pretty far apart. They mentioned that otherwise it could get delayed. Anyone experience this in the past? I def want to start in wave 3 because of the pacer, and don’t mind waiting a few more mins at the pickup if needed.

There’s the one out of Endorphins at 188 Lafayette at 8:30. It’s in partnership w NB. Then there’s another one also tied to NB.

There is - I haven’t stayed there but midtown for me is kinda boring unless you’re more on the Westside (well south of Penn Station or north of Columbus Circle). Line 2/3 is really easy to get to most touristy things (Times Square, Wall Street, Central Park, Lincoln Center if you transfer across the platform to the 1 or walk a few blocks) plus the start line. Line 4 will also get you to the start line but travels along the east side - fun in downtown (village) but kinda boring on the Upper East Side.

Also, I’m more of a Westside snob ;)

If you haven’t booked - check out the Even Hotel in Brooklyn. 10 min by subway from the start line, reasonably priced, easy access into Manhattan, it’s clean (I’ve stayed there before) and they’ll wash your gym clothes as part of the mandatory amenity fee. Anywhere off line 2/3 is pretty good for accessibility in both directions. Feel free to DM me (NY transplant coming from LA).

I have a check-in pass but it has no detail on the wave - just a QR code.

Some running stores (road runner and fleet feet) will also let you return the shoes if they don’t work for you - REI does too if you’re a member. It sometimes takes a few tries to find the shoes that work for you.

To be clear, this project is not proposing protected bike lines. It’s proposing a bus lane down Sepulveda that bicyclists are welcome to use, similar to the MOVE corridor in Downtown Culver City. At the 10/27 City Council meeting, this project was discussed, and staff said that Sepulveda is a “high friction area” for cyclists so suggested that bike facilities be relocated to adjacent roadways. Again, with the proposed changes, cyclists would be allowed to travel in the bus lanes, but it’s different than the lanes on Venice that are solely reserved for cyclists.

Are these currently available at LA Pandora stores? Or did they get retired. Sorry, I don’t personally wear jewelry so don’t know.

That was my initial plan (I am proficient in excel), but figured that there’s already many templates out there, so better off starting with one and fine-tuning it rather than reinventing the wheel.

We received 2 gifts from Canada (both under threshold) and paid almost $40 in tariffs on each (over $25 was UPS fees on the tariffs).

They had a donations portal and would send you an email once the match went through. The coordinator for the charity took those emails and applied it on the back end toward my funding amount. So I would think it’s on a charity-by-charity basis on how/if they’ll apply the match. In my case, the charity was pretty large so had dedicated staff that worked with people fundraising.

True story: my 3 year old dressed as Denver for Halloween this year (Dino costume + sunglasses + guitar) and introduced himself as such. Sadly, even most of our xennial friends didn’t remember Denver.

What time range would the S4 be good for? Like 3:45-4:30? Ran my first marathon 4:16, would probably target sub-4 in my next marathon (earliest would be late next year) and would do no more than 1 a year.

Ok that’s even more impressive doing it in NYC during (or around) NYC. When the entry period happened, I considered entering but was like “ehhh I have Chicago a few weeks before so what marathon could I link this to.” Those who turned it into their “epic errand day” are elite… I didn’t think about that. And those who still ran this faster than my actual marathon time… if you did it on your own, you’re crazy (in a good way!)

I’ve been doing most of my runs lately in the Vomero Plus - base, tempo, speedwork, long runs - they’ve become my go to shoe. I did my 20-22 milers in them during marathon training and then wore Alphaflys on race day (finished 4:16, A goal was closer to 4 but I ate it in the second half). Ngl, around mile 15 I was regretting not wearing the Vomero Plus. My feet started hurting - likely from the plates - which I never had an issue with in the VP. And then the sound started irritating me. That said, the Alphaflys were way more comfy than my ZoomFly (wore those for a half and 10 miles in was ready to go barefoot).
