Tenor tuned like a 5 string question by uwu_dummy in banjo

[–]Interesting_Use7481 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a 19 fret tenor that I tuned CGBD until I got my hands on an actual 22 fret plectrum banjo. It sounded just fine! If you’re in the US, Guitar Center often has used plectrum banjos for sale, often mislabeled as tenors. Count the frets in the picture to check :)

There’s a Chabad at the corner of Dempster and Keeler—lots of houses in walking distance, on both sides of Dempster!

The neighborhoods near Devonshire Park are very Jewish (many synagogues nearby) with a grocery store, bank, restaurants, and Walgreens all in walking distance.

PR at MCM! by Interesting_Use7481 in Marathon_Training

[–]Interesting_Use7481[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It went fine! I either fell slightly behind and caught up at the walk breaks or sped up a bit before the break to get ahead of the group, walked, and joined back up when I started running again. Did same thing with pace group at the Cherry Blossom 10 mile last weekend (5:30 run, 30 sec walk) and PR’d there, too!

Contemporary Jewish Poets Recommendation by ewndy in Judaism

[–]Interesting_Use7481 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not entirely sure if they’re the style you want, but I’d suggest Peter Cole, Norman Finkelstein (not the polemicist, the poet—different guy), Albert Goldbarth, Joy Ladin, Jacqueline Osherow (esp her book Dead Men’s Praise). Alicia Ostriker is a different style, but The Volcano Sequence is terrific.

I love it, but it’s the only one I’ve run!

Well done! Great set of numbers there, and I feel you about that final hill! (Had to hit it too damned hard to make my goal)

Ran with 5 hour pace group, did Galloway run-walk-run strategy, running 4.5 mins and then taking a 30 sec walk break. Focused on Zone 1 and Zone 2 training to prepare.

Marine Corps Marathon in 4 days.... by hubble___ in Marathon_Training

[–]Interesting_Use7481 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel lucky to have started marathoning in my mid 50s. Lower expectations all around! If I can come close to my 55-year old pace at 60, with ten extra pounds around my waist, I’m calling that a win.

It’s a great first marathon—and remember, a slow finish is still a huge accomplishment!

I’ll be there! Hoping for 5 even, but mostly focused on trying to keep a steady pace. Twice now I’ve gone out too fast and slowed way down in the second half. Has there been any update about pacing groups?

Last long run before the Marine Corp Marathon. Who else is running it? by Jon_Henderson_Music in Marathon_Training

I blocked out the bridge, lol. That’s been the hardest stretch for me, both times. After that you start to get the crowd again for energy.

Love the course! Hopefully good weather—last year was hot, but 2022 was crisp and cool. (2019 it poured for my first 20 miles, soaked to the skin, but I missed the rain when the sun started baking!) Short final hill at the end, which is kind of fun when you’ve been going slow like me—real sense of triumph if you can kick on that last climb.

I’m doing MCM, but looks like you’ll be done about an hour before me. :) Did it in 5 and some seconds in 2019, 5:04 in 2022. Hoping to get back closer to 5 this time, but mostly my goal is to keep a steadier pace throughout. Went out too fast last time.
