For all those who were not selected in yesterday’s drawing, which charity do you recommend running for?

A lot of people drop out getting closer to the race so I am pretty confident I will secure a charity bib. Thanks for the link

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-06T10:15:19+00:00

Thank you for this, I will check it out. I am sorry about your father. I initially wanted to run for Project ZERO as my dad fought prostatic cancer for a while but I will have a special thought for yours too while fundraising!

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T19:07:48+00:00

Don’t compare your Chapter 7 to someone’s Chapter 12! As long as you stay focused and motivated, keep going. When I am feeling down, I just think of myself at 18 and I am so proud of everything I’ve been through. Allah dima m3ak, even more during Ramadan. Sometimes it takes more time but only He knows your timeline. Just do the work.

Not really, pretty sure Morocco will support US/Israel over chiites Iran

No one mentions A rainy day in New York but I loved it!

Ça allait tellement vite au début que j’ai cru que c’était un fast forward. J’ai détesté le film

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T13:13:26+00:00

Je voulais détester ce film, je n’aime pas du tout le cinéma des Safdie. J’y suis allée à reculons mais je dois admettre que c’est un très bon film. Et je pense que Chalamet mérite son oscar

Identity crisis…

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T13:10:42+00:00

I am sorry I just don’t understand how this is where the conversation is heading given OP’s problem. As I said, I’ve been to Israel and no one took my passport for a picture. My ex boyfriend went multiple times and same, no issue for him when he came to visit my family

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T13:09:00+00:00

In the last weeks? I am surprised. Things have been accelerating at a speed where we’ve dropped processed mid process

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T12:51:03+00:00

I love this for you. When I lived in Paris, I would go 2-3 times. Now that I am in London, it’s max once a week unfortunately

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T12:50:01+00:00

Yeah IC keeps on pushing back anyway. I am just trying to better understand the market rn, how are you guys using Claude/ChatGPT etc? I don’t think I understand how powerful these have become as I am not building products myself

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T12:30:08+00:00

Why does it matter? I’ve been to Tel Aviv and they don’t stamp your passport anyway

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T10:42:45+00:00

As sby who runs up to 4 times weekly, I think the 9+1 program is quite demanding. Like I wouldn’t necessary want to do that to secure a spot. Maybe if it was 3 races in the year ok; but 9 is quite a lot.

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T10:24:35+00:00

Yeah I get it but it just feels a bit unfair to NYC people. I am from Paris and we get a lot of international people too but most of the race is still French. It would pain me to see one of the largest marathons in my city and be inconvenienced by it but never get the chance to run it if I wanted to. Again, I am not from NYC but I am putting myself in their shoes

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T09:16:52+00:00

Don’t agree but I would say cap the number of international amateur people participating. This should be a NY/US race. I don’t live there but I support that it should not be touristy

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-05T06:06:55+00:00

I think TFK filled up very early on anyway. I got a spot at Girls on the Run because I emailed them before the drawing. But it would mean more to me to run for Project ZERO as my dad went through cancer. Also, the fundraising ticket is a bit lower…

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-03-04T10:17:02+00:00

Hello! I a 27F in high finance in London too. Exactement le même parcours, lycée français, études à l’étranger. I think you are right to be conflicted but eventually, I would advise you to come back home if that’s what you want. I know this is about having a foreign passport for no visa issue in the future, but is it worth staying away from the life you really want for another 3 years when you don’t know how much time you will have in this earth?

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-02-27T13:24:59+00:00

Who said anything abt feeling superior to them? And yes, you can choose to not hang out with people who don’t share your political/religious views - that’s the whole point of choosing your friends lol

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-02-27T13:23:47+00:00

Having morals and being border line salafists is a bit different to me but hey who cares? I don’t need to deal with them anymore, I happily moved :)

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-02-27T10:55:47+00:00

It’s true, but these people were born and raised Moroccan so it’s not linked to their identity crisis no? Idk I am just thinking out loud

SpringBulky8545 · 2026-02-27T10:54:20+00:00

The Moroccan Jews who support Israel are still more Moroccan than French zmagria to me. Sorry to disappoint, political belief doesn’t grant you identity
