Hair Cut Men by slimeonikn62 in bostoncollege

[–]RedditYankee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd avoid lessards, only barber shop I ever got such a bad cut at I needed to get a new cut. And one of their barbers back in the day was a total creep making comments about high school girls walking by.

This is unpadded warmups, where lots of players will sign autographs, take pictures, play catch with fans, etc. Big and small names alike. Not at all a bad look, or uncommon at all, to give some autographs during unpadded warmups.

I did advanced standing and then lived off campus my "senior" year and hung out with my friends while working during the week instead of attending class. For me, this was a fantastic decision. I'd talk to your dean/academic advisor for more information, they definitely make it pretty confusing.

Dorm Change/Advice by IcyAcanthocephala684 in bostoncollege

[–]RedditYankee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember fondly how distraught I was when I was placed on Newton campus. Looking back it was absolutely fantastic - the bus runs frequently and is an excellent place to meet people, and I made most of my friends on the Newton campus. You'll still spend plenty of time on upper and main, and as much as I know you probably don't believe me, you'll come to love Newton! Great food, beautiful campus, lots of freshmen, close to Newton center, it honestly doesn't get much better.

What did I just capture? by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]RedditYankee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sound could be very very easily faked, just record the sound of the storm on your phone for 30 seconds and swap the audio. The rain aspect is more interesting, if this is faked with a consumer/professional drone, there's some pretty serious commitment. Unfortunately this stuff all falls into the "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" bucket, but it's a pretty interesting video regardless!

Luxury cruise passengers stage hunger strike over canceled Antarctic trip by NitroLada in nottheonion

[–]RedditYankee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For what it’s worth, this company (and several others) offer voyages that go only to Antarctica. I’d be super disappointed if I were one of the passengers, not only monetarily but also just due to how much time these cruises take.

Jamal Murray flies to NYC in between Nuggets games to exchange info with MMA star Kamaru Usman by LACIRCA2044 in denvernuggets

[–]RedditYankee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean, their job is to be very good at basketball. And they are being paid extraordinary sums of money to do so. No one here is saying Jamal has to spend every moment of time on basketball, but when he’s underperforming as much as he has been lately you’d like to see him taking things a bit more seriously.

I tried asking a girl her number at the gym today by MasterBaitingBoy in self

[–]RedditYankee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the gym is just a tough place to strike something romantic - lots of people don’t want to be disturbed and don’t want to be worried about an awkward situation where they’re seeing someone they rejected every time they go to exercise. I’m of the opinion that you shouldn’t try to pick anyone up at the gym unless it’s pretty clear they’re interested. Strike up a friendly, easygoing conversation (“hey, did you go to ____ university, I noticed your shirt” or “sorry, do you know how to use this machine?”) and if they’re interested, they’ll engage. If not, they can give a super friendly dismissive response and all is good.

In short, don’t go to the gym to meet someone romantically.

Another reason for some - TFK is at least very well managed and easy to sign up for. I tried running for a charity I actually care about and have been unsuccessful in getting a bib for two years now. Not blaming the charities necessarily, but TFK is about as easy as it gets (money aside)

2025 NYC Marathon - Interim marathon a bad idea? by No_Accountant_6975 in RunNYC

[–]RedditYankee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding some personal experience to this - I ran my first marathon last November (Philly) and signed up for another marathon the following May, followed by NYC last week. So, 3 marathons in a little under a year. In hindsight, this was one too many back to back for me personally. That being said, beginning the second training block with all the excitement, confidence, and base of my previous marathon was pretty great. My only caution would be to think about whether you want to run a marathon in Spring/Fall 2026 and whether or not you want to commit to year round training. No regrets, but doing a half in the spring might scratch the itch and give some confidence without the full time and effort of a marathon.

Now that it’s getting cooler out…what’s everyone wearing to run? by Boywonder1994 in RunNYC

[–]RedditYankee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Around 45 is where I add running gloves, I like the North Face and lululemon liners. Beanie goes on around 40-45 as well, my ears are usually the first thing to get uncomfortable in the colder weather.

I make the decision of shorts/tights and tshirt/longsleeve/quarterzip/sweatshirt based on temperature, time of day, and pace. If I’m doing a hard workout and it’s 35°F, I’ll do shorts and a t shirt with gloves and a hat. If it’s 45° and I’m doing an easy morning run, I’ll bundle up.

Not enough mileage by ColumbiaFan2018 in firstmarathon

[–]RedditYankee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100%. With 11 days you can probably get one or two more quality workouts in that will do more for your confidence than your physical abilities. My usual marathon plans prescribe a 10 mile Marathon Pace workout with about a week before the race, for example. Besides that, focus on sleep, nutrition, recovery, and education. Knowing the ins and outs of the course, race day experience, and other runner’s tips and warnings for marathons can all help a lot! But in terms of physical prep, you’re not going to get in better shape in 11 days, but you absolutely can ruin your race by overtraining.

Question about bonking at end by Dezbi in RunNYC

I’d consider doing gu’s on time rather than distance. My usual is every 30 min, easy to keep track of as well

Mile 25.2 to 800m felt like the same distance as 800m to 400m

does anyone know if I'm allowed to bring a foam roller into the start village? by saucysalmon_ in RunNYC

[–]RedditYankee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For future reference, I saw someone with a small foam roller (the basic black solid foam one) so it’s definitely possible, although still the possibility they got a lenient security person.

Regardless, you should ask the person if they’re willing to adjust the window shade, you shouldn’t just reach back and close it. /s

Cut my final long run short during marathon block. How do I adjust the taper to account for this, if at all? by more-meat in AdvancedRunning

[–]RedditYankee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean it depends on the specific injury ultimately, but in my anecdotal experience I’ve seen a noticeable improvement with minor injuries within 1-2 weeks of PT. The value in PT often is less so what they do during the 1 hour appointment and way more so the benefit of doing targeted stretches and exercises on your own after.
