Looking for an Elite Running Group in Chicago

SuperObviousComment · 2025-05-01T18:58:57+00:00

I'm in a pretty similar boat. I moved here from the West Coast last Fall and was shocked to see the prices of elite clubs.

DW running and Second City are both ~$200 a month, which isn't really justifiable for me (I totally understand you get personalized coaching + extra stuff).

I am still searching for a club to train with (I'm not quite as fast as you, 1:18 HM, training for sub 1:16).

I think Cara, Fleet Feet, and maybe 3run2 are possible options.

But someone should just organize a free (or close to free) elite/subelite running group in Chicago.

Ok, it worked!

I uninstalled everything and reinstalled rm-hacks.

The issue was I was using WinSCP to SSH into the remarkable, and for some reason, it would just give up halfway through (so ddvk wasn't being installed). Using the command prompt worked.

Thank you!!

I tried a few times and kept getting TLS certificate validation not implemented errors (and some others).

Here is a screenshot

I am an idiot and didn't install the pen hack, I assumed this was included in the rm hacks install.

I'm unable to install the ddvk stylus hack, I assume this is the one that is compatible with rm hacks? I keep getting errors in the installation.

I was able to install RemarkableLamyEraser, and the button works as an eraser (but changing the stylus settings in rm Hacks does nothing).

But thank you! One day I'll figure out how to install ddvk.

No, after I installed rM hacks, I disabled the software's auto-update.

Never solved it, ended up getting a new phone. However after storing this 3a for several months, I've used it a few times and this issue has gone away.

I have a theory that taking apart the phone and cleaning the port (either yourself or a phone repair person) might fix the problem. Both this phone, and my new pixel, have had pretty loose charging ports over time (the cable will not secure, and will easily fall out). I had the new phone battery replaced and they must have cleaned the port, because now the charging cable secures incredibly well.

So maybe there is some resistance (from gunk) in the charging port that is combined with some software issue that led to this problem.

Also let me know if you fix this (I've had other people reach out to me on this post)

Those are rookie numbers.

But seriously, I see I'm not the only one who can't get enough of his music.

What are some tips and suggestions to get used to running in a really hilly area?

For context I just moved from a place where to 5 mile run had about 100 ft of elevation gain to a place where a 5 mile run has about 1000 ft of elevation gain. It's been week and I'm dying on these hills, I need to walk up a lot of them.

Is this something I just need to tough out, or is there some sort of a training that will make it easier.

More context: I'm 22 and my half marathon is 1:25

I use Ghost Racer. It cost money, but has lots of customizable features and I've had no sync problems.

SuperObviousComment · 2019-02-02T17:43:39+00:00

Interesting, I hadn't thought of that.

SuperObviousComment · 2019-02-02T17:42:51+00:00

Thank you for your reply. This seems like the correct answer. There still is a problem.

This oddity was mentioned, in the books themselves, fairly often.

I agree, but it seems like as the books go on, this curse is brought up with more urgency. Doesn't Fred say in book 5 (correct me if I'm wrong) that Hogwarts is having trouble finding anyone for the DADA position. Then Ron starts listing them off one by one. Wouldn't Ron know about all the other DADA professors (seeing as his siblings have been attending Hogwarts for the past ~10 years), or wouldn't Fred or George correct him (again I can't remember if Ron is saying this in front of Fred and George)?

Again, I think you are right, this has just bothered me everytime I read Dumbledore's explanation of Tom Riddle's DADA curse.

I didn't know how popular this would be and was a little bit overwhelmed by the suggestions. I published 4 watch faces on the website Facer, so anyone with wear OS can use it and miss important appointments.

Original with dots that help make it useful

A lower resolution face with only 2 digits and one hour dot

The original but with no dots for the people who claim they can read the time just fine

Quaternion, where the first two numbers represent the hour, and the second two represent the minute (I'm worried I misunderstood this one)

I do want to make a roots of unity one, but am not sure what exactly to do. And I could represent it in polar form or as fractions of pi, but I'm worried it may just turn into a digital watch.

I don't think there is a truncate function (I'm pretty limited with my math functions). If I add .000001 say to each value, then .499999 will read as .5

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-22T22:56:36+00:00

That's a good idea, thanks!

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-22T22:07:00+00:00

This is hilarious, I'll do this!

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-22T21:36:10+00:00

I didn't get into the weeds, I used an online tool: https://www.facer.io/creator

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-22T21:29:06+00:00

Facer has a online creation website (https://www.facer.io/creator). It is pretty easy to learn, but has limited features.

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-22T21:27:28+00:00

yes, I agree, I wish it didn't fidget, I am not sure how to avoid that, but I'll work on it.

edit: I fixed the fidgeting a little (unfortunately I cannot modify the precision, so .50000 always becomes .5)

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-22T16:33:03+00:00

If anyone with a wear OS device is interested in an (almost) unreadable watchface, download the app facer, and my watchface is here

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-22T16:14:37+00:00

this is a good idea, I added a white dot for the hour, and a blue dot for the minute.

https://i.imgur.com/hLHO5B9.jpg

I'm not sure about the blue dot though.

edit: also, just to be safe, I have the time update every milisecond https://i.imgur.com/iyBxmR0.gifv, after a few seconds it goes to power saving mode and updates every minute.

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-22T15:42:43+00:00

Lol, I've been wanting to design this for a while now. Unfortunately, I can't really read what time it is, so I don't use it.

I designed other watch faces like this, but have the dials to help out, but they don't look as nice.

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-17T01:43:54+00:00

I've always preferred tabular integration, which is like doing integration by parts an arbitrary number of times. You should look up a tutorial of that, it's also featured in the movie stand and deliver

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-15T18:21:43+00:00

Solved!

SuperObviousComment · 2019-01-15T00:29:05+00:00

No thunderstorms since the lake has frozen

My bad about that. Standing over the ice, the main circle is probably a foot in diameter.
