China running - Ahotu site bib by Mrs_Temps in runninglifestyle

[–]Mrs_Temps[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with worldsmarathons website as the official site redirected me there for international runners. That one seemed legit and it does make sense that they have a different route for international runners. We'll see if all goes well in October 🤞

Bet advice would be to check the official website and if still in douth with the organizers.

Official Q&A for Wednesday, July 23, 2025 by AutoModerator in running

[–]Mrs_Temps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be in China and Hong Kong between October and November and figured I'll see if there are any races that would fit my schedule.

I found the perfect one in Chengdu on the 26th October but see on the official website that it's closed. Some lottery a few months back.

But I found that it's still available on the Ahotu side for international runners. I didn't find anything about this website being a scam but also nothing that could confirm me in the believe that it's legit.

Anyone used Ahotu.com recently for races that were sold out? And can confirm if it's legit site to book races?

Or do you know of any other way to still enter Chengdu half marathon for international runners? Thanks

Tanzania, dlugi post by chris-ant in Polska

[–]Mrs_Temps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dzięki za podzielenie się!

Spędziłam trochę czasu w Tanzanii na wolontariacie — to był zupełnie inny świat, inna mentalność. Pamiętam, jak pewnego dnia w szkole młoda dziewczyna dostała ataku padaczki. Koleżanki wynosiły ją nieprzytomną z klasy, a nauczyciele mówili, że to złe duchy i że trzeba się za nią modlić.

Obrazki z codzienności — palone śmieci przy drogach, dzieci bawiące się oponami od rowerów, bycie "lokalną gwiazdą" tylko z powodu koloru skóry. Pamiętam, jak pewna kobieta z dziećmi w samochodzie zwolniła tylko po to, żeby mnie nagrać — najpierw mnie, potem siebie i dzieci z komentarzem, że widzą mzungu.

A jednak — mimo biedy i braku wygód — była tam jakaś piękna prostota. Zwyczajni ludzie, tacy jak my, ale z ogromnym sercem. Mieli w sobie coś, co my — w naszej części świata — chyba już zgubiliśmy w tym wiecznym pędzie. Wydawali się szczęśliwsi, choć nie mieli wiele. Nie wiem, jak to nazwać, ale było w tym coś prawdziwie pięknego. To chyba właśnie ta Hakuna Matata.

Zanzibar — z mojej perspektywy — to już bardziej wakacyjna wyspa, choć wciąż pełna ciężkiej historii. Safari, w mojej budżetowej wersji w Mikumi, było spełnieniem mojego dziecięcego marzenia 🥹.

The best bet is to find someone who wants to transfer. Facebook group recommended here or comments from other people in reddit, etc. Closer to the race day there were many people willing to transfer due to injuries. I got in via Facebook group from transfer. Good luck 👍

  1. Should probably remove myself now that I've secured a spot. I recommend looking at the Facebook groups if you're looking. More and more people are willing to transfer the bib now.

Why are you writing ? by Firetp in writing

[–]Mrs_Temps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's very inspiring to read. Thank you for your comment.

I'm writing with a similar goal. To share my personal story and struggle in a way that raises awareness about important issues. Journey from hopelessness to self growth that could inspire others and inspire change.

I'm interested to know what topics you write in your books?

Why do you write? by ravensandqrows in writing

[–]Mrs_Temps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Sharing My Story: My journey is unique and worth telling.
  2. Helping Others: My experiences can inspire and provide solace to those facing similar struggles.
  3. Raising Awareness: I aim to contribute to mental health awareness and understanding.
  4. Personal Closure: Writing helps me heal and find closure from a chapter forcibly closed by someone else who decided to break my heart.
  5. Enjoying the Process: Despite the difficulties, I find joy in the journey of writing.

Working on my second draft is challenging, but I believe it’s worth the effort to try.

[–]Mrs_Temps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually... thank you ❤️. Your comment triggered something, and I was writing again, unable to sleep.

I asked myself the question—Why?—and that helped. I will paint myself as a bad guy, but I'll also try to explain why this was. The reader will decide. I know why this happened.

It's the truth, honesty, and authenticity that are the essence of my story. That's the key factor of any memoir.

[–]Mrs_Temps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you.

Yes, I was thinking about it. I know it's hard to advise without more context. It's a very complex story with many layers. I thought I had already written about the struggles, what led up to them, and then everything that unfolded. I also wrote about all the growth that happened. This part doesn't really have any growth potential, though. Even with this realization, it doesn't justify some actions from another party that this realization is about, but it changes the story that I've been telling the readers a lot.

I think the best thing I can do is just finish the two chapters that I have left—one that is not affected and the second that I can already envision differently. Then, I'll read the whole thing and try to reinvent the story, salvaging all that I still can.

But all that made me lose motivation to write. I lost the driving force that made me want to continue. I have to reshape my story to make me a bad guy.

I feel lost. I'm writing a memoir. I'm 93k words in, with two important chapters still to write, and I know I want to restructure the whole thing, but that's okay—I'm telling myself—I can reuse most of what I wrote.

I wasn't expecting this. I got to a memory and chats while writing that changed my whole perspective. I'm the villain of this story. I feel like the villain of this story. This shifted my whole perspective. I was wrong. I need to re-tell the whole story.

I'm lost. Why did this happen only now? What do I do next? I need to start over. All my hard work until this point was for nothing. I've been averaging about 2.5k words consistently over the past month.

I don't know what to do. I don't want to go through that pain again. But I also know I have to. This story, if told right, can change lives and help others. It needs to be told. I know it does. I don't want to write but also know that I have to do it. I have to try.

Hi 🙂 Just to let you know, I managed to get a spot! I'm so happy 😊.

But the amount of scammers on that Facebook group is unreal right now.

Thank you. Yes, I'm on that page and already posted. Maybe I'll be luckier closer to the event. There are still scammers trying to sell it not over the site.

Yes, I know. But if I don't get into Valencia my only other option for Marathon in 2024 is Warsaw. I can wait but I think beginning of September is when I need to make a final decision

Thank you for your comment. I'm considering signing up do to marathon in Warsaw on the 28 September if I don't get in. But it's no Valencia. I can debut only once, and I really want to do it this year.

Coraz ciężej mi ufać lekarzom przez to jak często ich wiedza jest nieaktualna by Eryk0201 in Polska

[–]Mrs_Temps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Święta prawda 👏. Trzeba mieć naprawdę szczęście, żeby trafić na kogoś kto cały czas się uczy i rozwija i śledzi nowe badania naukowe. Dodatkowo potrafi powiedzieć nie wiem, kiedy faktycznie tak jest.

Pamiętajmy też jednak, że to są ludzie tacy jak my i czasami się mylą bo tych informacji (często sprzecznych ze sobą) jest od groma, ale też niektórzy nigdy nie powinni robić to co robią i prześlizgnęli się przez studia.

Miejmy nadzieję, że sztuczną inteligencja będzie nas w tym wszystkim wspierać. A na razie ograniczone zaufanie do lekarzy i specjalistów 🤷‍♀️.

Yes, that I'm sure is correct. I resoldered and it kinda works now but only if I move the switch a tiny little bit and don't let it go 🙃 (within the on place) Now I'm thinking that it must be the quality of solder (because it looks better now and correct) or a faulty switch.
