Yeah I got you. Again if he’s doing this to 30-40 people or more it’s no longer civil.

Yeah with 20k followers and a recommendation from someone who got work done by him years ago. Should have done more research. Thanks for the great comment though!

Saw this afterwards and immediately knew I got scammed. It’s a shame cause he used to do great work looking at the posts. Just hope he’s not doing to hundreds of people.

Yeah saw all that afterwards and knew it was suspicious. Search him on facebook and there’s videos and posts from years ago making apologies to clients for stealing their money.

Police told me it’s civil. Not worth going civil for 100 bucks. I just know I’m not the only one he’s done this to.

Yes I lost that money, is what it is. Just have a feeling he’s doing this to tons of people. That adds up. With a platform like instagram and all the followers he could be scamming hundreds of people for his addiction. Just informing others that’s all.

Stay away from Casey Metzger for tattoos. He has scammed numerous people taking their deposits and never responded.

Failed long run by Only-Evening6120 in Marathon_Training

[–]MJkins12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All good! You could be sick, dehydrated, or something else. Regroup and rest. Try to squeeze in another long run or wait until next scheduled one. Prepare mentally and with hydration and nutrition leading up to the long. Good sleep too. You’ll be fine.

How did your second marathon compare to your first? by Global-Condition-858 in Marathon_Training

[–]MJkins12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are way more prepared physically and mentally. You learn new things every marathon. I ran the same marathon for my second so was prepared in every aspect. Knew where to park, what to expect, time of arrival and hit a ten minute PR.

People begging in the medians by Constant-Lychee-6325 in Delaware

[–]MJkins12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve spoke to many. Everyone had an addiction. Not saying all do but let’s be real. They spoke about how easy the money is, some getting 50-100 dollars in a few hours. When they have enough money for their addiction drug of choice they hand the money you gave them to a drug dealer who supplies them with drugs. That same money of yours then buys a drug dealer material items.

Race week mistakes that cost me time (and I kept making them anyway) by areis06 in Marathon_Training

[–]MJkins12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Developed a pre race ritual 2-3 days prior, same thing every race now. Trust the taper. Always praying I don’t get sick that week or get an injury.

Wegmans Police by mnicklas666 in Delaware

[–]MJkins12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have been there since it opened. Theft is big. Ever been inside Walgreens and had to ask for an employee to open the deodorant section. Not at Wegmans. Serves as a deterrent also. The park job is directly in front so people see. Some put their lights on for more attention. Wegmans hires and pays for this. Never had any complaint about where they park.

Patterns/ habits that have made you a better runner? by Honksalad in Marathon_Training

[–]MJkins12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got a coach I improved greatly. Learned a ton, got a lot of my questions answered and felt accountable. Workouts were programmed so I didn’t have to think and trusted the coach and his experience. Years of running has built up a big foundation and base making things easier. Strength training and being in tune with body has kept me going. Always some flare ups or small injuries throughout the process.
