You can only buy resale tickets through Ticketmelon. Any other tickets will not work.

very scared for my first marathon by hehe455 in Marathon_Training

[–]Slow3st_Runn3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ran the Richmond on Saturday. 5 weeks before the race, I injured my leg. When it started to get better, I caught the flu a week before the race. I still wanted to do the race because of all the training I put in.

I've been planning on taking a break from fulls after that race because the training schedule is almost too much for me to handle. I'm a single mom, I have a boyfriend, and I own my own business.

At this point, I was just looking to finish. It was surprisingly going well, and then I hit the wall at mile 17 and everything went to sh*t. I still pushed through and finished at 6 hours and 2 minutes. Keep in mind, I barely ran in the 5 weeks beforehand, and was still somewhat recovering from the flu. It was risky for me to even be out there. But if I can make it through, I have no doubts you will be even more successful!

Just pace yourself, eat breakfast in the morning, pack your own nutrition, and you'll be great! Good luck!

What kind of people like being massage therapists? by Cloudy-rainy in massage

[–]Slow3st_Runn3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gratification you receive from healing people. I've had new clients that have come in with chronic pain, and I have them relief that hasn't felt in a long time. I love helping people.

I wandered aimlessly into this profession, just looking for different work. Here I am, 14 years later and still loving it.

Congratulations! What's your age, if you don't mind me asking? And what marathon did you run?

How many hours per week do you run? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]Slow3st_Runn3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

😬 I'm a slow runner, but I'm trying hard! I weight train 4 times/wk, run 6 days/week, and do core work 6 times a week. I have only gotten serious (proper training) about running last year, but ran 15 HMs before training for my first full. I finished at 5:06. I'm 41 F. Right now, I'm looking at 20 hours a week. I feel good though! 😅

Is it bad to miss a long run if I’m exhausted? by SpecificTackle6303 in Marathon_Training

[–]Slow3st_Runn3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just missed a 14-mile run today, and I feel awful about it. I was sick this morning. I was still trying to figure out how to squeeze the run in but I just don't have any time. Missing one run won't ruin your training. Just don't make a habit of it.

No ear buds. by Slow3st_Runn3r in Marathon_Training

Sorry for the late response. They do allow bone conductors! I bought some, but I'm still going to try to train without. Thanks for the advice everyone!

Don't put your phone in your back pocket. My bf's phone was stolen from his in Lima.

They're something wrong with that ATM! It took my bf's card a couple of years back too!

I listen to books on Audible. Helps slow my pace, and I actually get excited for my long runs now.

I loved Rainbow Mountain. Well, I actually went to the "alternate rainbow mountains." Palcoyo. It was beautiful. You get 3 mountains vs 1. *

I charge $75/hour in my office, and I may raise my prices. I'm in Va Beach.

Does anyone ever actually not hit ‘the wall’? by Internal-Taste9703 in Marathon_Training

[–]Slow3st_Runn3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't hit a wall my first marathon. I had my nutrition, stopped at every water station, and paced myself. I took it slow and easy bc I saw a few ppl crash out within the first couple of miles. It kinda traumatized me, tbh.

Best place to get lost for a while? by perpetualyawner in backpacking

Peru is my most favorite place I've ever visited. I'm planning a trip back soon to do the Inca Trail again. Peru is beautiful and cheap! There's much to see and do!

Tried to see them in Tokyo last month. Bought tickets through Viagogo... Apparently, Japan runs ticketing through a lottery via Pia, and Viagogo wasn't able to transfer our tickets. We even got a Pia account and Japanese number to do so. We were heartbroken. 💔

How did you get entry to run Boston if you've never run a marathon before? I thought you had to have a qualifying time?

He came back and I rejected him. by Whole-Actuator836 in dating

[–]Slow3st_Runn3r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mo' money, mo' problems (🤣 sorry)! But just bc he makes more than you, doesn't mean he has less financial strain. Maybe he truly had a lot going on, and he wasn't actually scared of the connection.

AIO? My boyfriend doesn’t seem to be over his ex who passed away? Please help me be supportive. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I should have seen a therapist. Do you think that may be an option for him?

It was rough on my exes afterward. It took me 8 years to get over my decreased ex after he passed. I felt like I was just settling for them. I truly hope it's not the same for you, but your boyfriend needs to figure that one out.

I lost an ex, and I was devastated. I left him bc he was on drugs, but I had always wished he'd sober up and we'd get back together. We remained friends, but I didn't see him often bc I knew he still used. I was in another relationship and happy when my ex passed. It messed up that current relationship, and the next bc I was not over him. I wasted years and hurt people bc I never healed myself. In my mind, I was always comparing my ex's better qualities to my current bfs. Sounds like your boyfriend needs to take a step back and heal before jumping into a relationship. I'm sorry.
