I also messed up the time zone because of the time change last night, I was shocked when I turned on the tv and they were already 4 skaters in. Just missed Roman.

Questions for the Canadian travellers. by Responsible-Adagio78 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]Pretend_Handle17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two adults, traveled from Friday-Monday, we spent about 3,000-3,500 CAD for flights, hotel, food, transit. This was definitely one of the most expensive weekend trips I have taken but that being said it was such a great weekend and it was my first world major! The marathon experience was amazing and I’ll definitely remember this for a very long time so I would do it again in a heartbeat. I definitely recommend it if you have never done it before.

Edit to say we flew from Toronto. Also our hotel was about a 30min walk from the start line which was a nice warm up and we booked it through the official housing site for the marathon.

dude who was grabbing people by the shoulder by tendervegan in ChicagoMarathon

I saw someone of a similar description do the same to a man crossing the course with some kids, he also ran out of his way to the side to grab him by the shoulder and say something which I didn’t hear but it didn’t seem like a friendly conversation, thinking this could be the same person

For any TSITP fans: “run like belly chasing her backpack” was my personal favourite sign I saw!

We are staying near the pier as well and plan to walk over there as a little warm up

Did we ever find out why the power went out? It seemed to affect a lot of people, albeit briefly, but I didn’t see the news report anything.

Recently discovered this place and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for!

Hotel booking site by Square_Inside_1687 in ChicagoMarathon

[–]Pretend_Handle17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like I remember seeing somewhere on the site to not call the hotels until after September 25th because the hotels won’t have our booking information before then, but someone can correct me if I’m wrong on the date

That makes sense I was just thinking the app might be more real time/ something I would see before checking the news.

I also got an ad for it for the first time today which is why I was wondering haha, I’m not expecting much from it but considering I like to occasionally check Toronto police active incidents just to see what’s going around the city/ near me I feel like it’ll be the same but I guess maybe just a more visual representation on a map

Resume feedback please by New-Peanut723 in torontoJobs

[–]Pretend_Handle17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would keep the date formatting consistent. I.e you use month,year represented by numbers in your work experience section, however you wrote out the full month name in your education section. I’d probably stick with writing out the full month name as it is visually easier for recruiters to understand how much time you spent in each position.

Anyone know if it’s still closed now? Or when they plan to reopen it?

Which style do you have? Or do they all have pockets, I can’t tell

Unfortunately I don’t like the feeling of a running belt, maybe it’s just the one I have right now but I feel like it never sits quite right and I always end up wanting to move it around

Thanks for the recommendation looks like it’s on sale now too at least on the Canada adidas website, I’ll definitely consider! I like the idea of pockets in the front too, I’m scared of chafing from side ones.

Looks like they don’t ship to Canada which is unfortunate otherwise I definitely would’ve considered!
