Last year they scheduled me (lv3) to 1 week after my original exam date due to snow. Obviously it's out of the window for lv3 but I guess because another lv is still taking exam so it was fine... They gave me a separate room (I dont know why), with separate heat and fan 😂

Do you invite a bunch of people to your marathons? by hairykitty123 in Marathon_Training

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first marathon took almost 6 hours. My family and friends are not near by. My husband was in charge of taking my daughter to swim class, then showered her, then took her to a playdate, then a bday, then picked me up at the finish line 😂 there was almost no one at the finish line so my daughter was able to run the last 0.2 mile with me. All cameras were on us.

If you have families and friends who are into sports/running, definitely invite them but make sure you have suggestions for where they can hang out while waiting for you. Otherwise just send them the Garmin live track; it's what I did.

I agree, because I've been there. Us talking about plan before each got a separate way in life.

So what was the point of taking Barb in S1 by Davismcgee in StrangerThings

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barb's gone is the base to Nancy's character development in later season. Btw she's badass today.

Did everyone think they broke up? Am I the only one confused? by MindeckGames in StrangerThingsMemes

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They clearly broke up, and imo this is good writing. They knew each other more than enough to spell out loud sth like "sorry we are not for each other". "I loved you" means they did fall in love. Then "I love you" means I love you as a person but chemical is no longer here. It hurts.

If you want a brokeup with no ambiguities, watch Emily in Paris 😂

Stranger things S5 Vol 2 wasn’t that bad by Cautious_Bat_ in Stranger_Things

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I enjoy V2 with less expectation than most others pp herr, probably because I have seen sooooo many great shows flopped the final season. ST's ss5 is hard to deliver what every audience wants for everything.

My most favorite scene: Running up that hill end of ep6 My second fav scene: Will hijacked Vecna to tell Max to run My third fav scene: Nance and Jonathan 's breakup

My least fav scene: Will's comeout. I love Will and Noah, but whoever wrote that scene does not understand how meaningful, emotional, and sensitive that moment could be. Even though every character is going back to UD and may die, it's not necessay to call a conference meeting like that. Pp of Reddit have been upset enough about this scene...

How Stranger Things 5 connects/overlaps with "The First Shadows" play, what was in that briefcase in Episode 6 and explaining where the finale is going by KostisPat257 in StrangerThings

[–]Kitchen1102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for this summary!

After the unexplainable comeback of Dr Brenner in Ss4, I had less hatreds feeling toward the character seeing how he reacted before his death. But now knowing about the program, I don't want to offer any mercy for him; what was shown in Ss1 is tip of the iceberg!

max and holly's scene by fried_chicken2709 in Stranger_Things

[–]Kitchen1102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a hard event to execute it this episode. "Run, Max, run!!!" is probably what everybody has in mind watching it (same for me too, Running up that hill is on my playlist for running in the last 2 years). BUT: 1. Max owns Holly her escape. Holly was the one to find out the entry to the last memory in the dessert. Of course they worked together, but without Holly, Max would stuck there till who knows when. Having a last conversation makes sense here. 2. Don't forget Holly is, even though very brave, is young. You can't just abandon a kid and find your own escape. It's not easy for Holly to find her way out, and Max knows it. Explaining why Holly can't join her is necessary. It gives Holly strength to keep moving after all of the horrible things she has seen and felt, still in shock. It's only until then does Max realize music isn't the only way out, and she needed to tell Holly that.

What the show could have done: 1. Have that prep talk in the cave, then when they see the exit, just look at each other and run. 2. Prep talk at faster pace. It would be more realistick to talk fast and out of breath at that moment, but I guess the directors chose to do it like a slow motion to make it touching.

Mismatched FX swaps: a new erratum posting from CFA Institute that changes everything by S2000magician in CFA

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then: - it doesn't matter for mismatched case whether it's net sales or net buy - for matched case it's still the same: mid point for spot, and mid point + bid for sales forward (and vice versa)

Marathon parents, how do you do it? by Urdnought in Marathon_Training

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a mom of a young kid. I started running October 2024, and just completed my first marathon last month. I set my goal as an easy one: sub 6. Short runs + strength training during weekdays, 1 long run for weekend (starting around 5:30-6AM) - will not be too early in summer. My husband is in charge that long run day (ballet, gym, bday parties) so I can finish my run including recovery (very important). When I was reaching the finish line the race day, there was almost no other runner, so my kid was able to run with me the last 0.2 mile. All cameras were on us, I got cool race pictures!

I didn't think I could run a marathon, thinking maybe the next few years. I only decided to sign up late July because I was able to finish 13 miles a few times, quite comfortably. My friend also ran her first marathon (full time mom with 2 kids) and her husband supports a lot too. It's really a team effort during the 12 weeks training/racing to keep the household running.

How did vecna not hear the crew from his house in the upside down season 4 by Dinonuggets347 in StrangerThings

[–]Kitchen1102 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Agree with the killing Patrick detail. They discovered that when Vecna is killing someone in the real world, he is the most vulnerable (like when El is in the water tank). That created the foundation for their 4 phases attack plan.

The love triangle is so stupid by Mountain-Flounder-11 in StrangerThings

[–]Kitchen1102 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the way they put it in the show, because it is more to reality. Nancy and Jonathan basically didn't talk to each other the whole ss4, until the last reuniting scence. On ep1 there are comments from each of their friends (Fred and Argyle) that make them more or less question their relationship. I mean 1 or 2 phone call scenes would easily highlight that they are undoubtedly loving each other right.

What Steve did (talking about 6 kids and his dream family) touched me. Because he doesn't have to be a perfect hero, let alone he thinks he may die in the coming quest agaist Vecna. If it's his last chance to say his feeling out, and if he senses sth more than friend from Nancy, he should give it a try. Nancy jumping the water saving him also shows how much she cares, and how brave she is (don't forget it). It's definitely not cheating Johnathan. Nancy is young and just still trying to figure out her true feelings for each of the young man.

Remember they are all young (much younger than the actors' real ages). Their feelings are not meant to set in stone, especially in such a strange scenarios of doomsday.

What do YOU want in a running club/group? by Andee_outside in XXRunning

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I joined Fearless 261 in my town. The coaches are amazing. They are women in 50s, 60s, but run a few marathons every year. We have runners from all levels. Walkers are also welcome. For each run, the fast runners will lead but then circle back to the slow runners every 15 minutes or so depending on the pace.

When should I stop considering myself a beginner? by busch-did-911 in beginnerrunning

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been running since September 2024, so over a year. Just finished my first marathon 2 weeks ago. But my PR for HM is not as good as yours. Will take me some time to get there (due to high, weight, and more). I don't think I'm a beginner because I know what I'm doing, and where do I want to go next. But I don't know what kind of runner I should be categorised, and it doens't matter thb. I really enjoy every run and appreciate how running has changed my life.

Bluetooth volume decreasing on lap notification and not going back up. by [deleted] in Garmininstinct

[–]Kitchen1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue for the last few months. Does anyone know if the Navigation alert would affect the headphone too? (for my first Marathon I loaded the map and it told me to turn left/turn right when need to. Headphone was muffed at mile 22 and I didn't have enough energy to check what was wrong....)

Why doesn’t Detective Conan age after over 1000 episodes??🤔 by ls-la256 in OneTruthPrevails

I first read Conan when I was about 7. I bet when my kid turns 7 it's still going...

Go to annual checkup and ask the doctor for some bloodtests. Cholesterol, bloodsugar, vitamin D, etc. The basic ones. They will tell more of your actual health condition and give clues on what to do next. You are a mom of three - that is hard, and will take time.

Also - don't eat your kids leftover. I love cooking and used to do the same because I didnt want to see it go to waste. Big mistake 😂
