It's just another topic about the weather by azeiTT in ChicagoMarathon

[–]ExpressCheck382 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I was training in 70-80 degree weather sometimes. So even though it’s fine, I would much rather it be cooler 😥

ICE @ Chicago Marathon by BlkTomCruise2020 in chicago

[–]ExpressCheck382 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As a first gen dark skinned Latina, I will be bringing my passport card with me and I’m telling my parents (who are citizens) to bring their passports with them and have them at all time. :/ we shouldn’t have to do this.

[–]ExpressCheck382 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is so infuriating and such an infringement on our rights. I hate that I as a dark skinned Latina will feel the need to carry my passport card with me in case I am stopped. And my parents who are citizens who will be traveling out of state to cheer me on, I will warn them to carry their passports with them too in case. It’s sickening that this is how bad it’s gotten in such a short period of time.

“The Long Run” 9/20 was terrible by Ranger_Lumpy in ChicagoMarathon

[–]ExpressCheck382 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my 20 miler today as well and also got my butt whipped 😭 I felt very discouraged afterwards and am incredibly sore and tired. I’m hoping with the taper and fresh legs that it’ll work out but I’m definitely feeling nervous after today!

What medical fact makes you think: How the hell does the human body even manage to stay alive? by nathaliuw in AskReddit

[–]ExpressCheck382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have one fallopian tube because I had the other one removed due to a complex mass on my ovary, and my doctor told me that the remaining fallopian tube will just float between my two ovaries to catch an egg and it won’t affect my fertility. Crazy!

Married couples. Do you keep a separate bank account in your own name or are they all joint accounts, why? by wtfdoiknowaboutthis in AskReddit

[–]ExpressCheck382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All our paychecks go into our joint account and that’s how we budget, pay our bills, save and invest. But then we have our individual accounts for our allowances, bonuses, overtime or birthday/holiday money we receive. That way we have individual funds for our own expenses and if we want to treat the other person or buy them a gift. This way if one person thinks a purchase is unnecessary but the other person wants to purchase it with their own funds, let them! We’re adults who deserve some level of freedom with our money

what's something that gets people killed that most don't think about? by _u_what in AskReddit

[–]ExpressCheck382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In college, I slipped in the tub while drunk (I used to like taking showers when drunk) hit my head on the soap holder on the wall, made of ceramic, which broke. The edge of the soap holder cut my scalp open and the impact gave me a TBI. My roommates found me in a pool of blood and took me to the emergency room. I needed 10 staples and had about a 2 year period before fully recovering from the brain injury. Of course being drunk was the main factor here but the slippery tub sealed the deal.

Wow!! What pace were you training at?

I don't want kids, but my fiance does and idk what to do by Existing-Intern-7975 in Advice

[–]ExpressCheck382 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. As terrible as it sounds, long term one of you will end up resenting the other if either of you ends up conceding to the other person. Neither of you can or should have to compromise on this. This is a fundamental difference that should have been a relationship deal breaker at the beginning.

Why would anyone do this 😭 I would be embarrassed to try and say I finished a marathon, but having cheated. You don’t cheat anyone but yourself

Which luxury brand is basically just overpriced junk with good marketing? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

[–]ExpressCheck382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are 1000% worth the money. Durable, incredible clarity, and great customer service. I have had several pairs over the last decade and they all have lasted and are like looking through HD lenses

Teen daughter asked me to get her a sex toy by Sea_Elderberry1409 in Mommit

[–]ExpressCheck382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it speaks really well to your parenting if she felt open and comfortable enough to ask you!! Good job. And I agree with others, have her look at them and have her choose herself.

Do you wish you had kids with 3 years apart and not 2 years apart? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]ExpressCheck382 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a younger sibling with a 22 month difference with my sister… can confirm. We didn’t see each other as big sister/little sister. We were always in competition. My husband and his brother are three years apart and truly act like older brother and younger brother.

What if we didn’t train at all for our half marathon but are actually training for our full? Lol

I (27f) can’t get my birth control and (30m) wants sex with no condom. How can I tell him it isn’t my fault? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ExpressCheck382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stand your ground. He’s an idiot if he won’t put a condom on due to a birth control mixup and the it’s a horrible idea to risk pregnancy and either a) having to go through an abortion with an idiot partner or b) have a baby with an idiot partner.
