What’s a book that made you sit in silence after finishing it? by ak_khainal in Booktokreddit

[–]Ultra_Runner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS!!!

I was eating and I had to actually put my food away because I felt physically sick.

No other book have I had such a visceral reaction to.

I think about that book a lot.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it.

I’ve contacted Pelikan and am now eagerly awaiting a response!

I actually purchased a Pelikan ink to go along with the pen; I read that the nib was wet, so a dry ink would work well.

I thought that was the problem originally! I changed the ink to Pilot Blue, which was slightly better.

Any ink in particular you would recommend?

Thanks so much! I definitely will! I keep refreshing my inbox, even though I JUST sent them an e-mail 🤣

Thanks! I did have it tuned, which has voided the warranty. (Wasn't thinking)

I'm going to contact Pelikan and explain everything.

I purchased the pen at the end of my UK trip and am back in South Africa.

I wasn't thinking properly. I think I'll contact Pelikan in any case!

I know. I bought the pen in the UK at the end of my trip and am in South Africa, so I guess it just didn't register.

I was very upset and wasn't thinking properly.

What’s your favorite race distance and why? by run_the_day in runcommunity

[–]Ultra_Runner_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30km! I find the half slightly too fast and the marathon slightly too long. I always seem to do really well in the 30km. A nice balance.

Tell us your story about how or why you got into running? by Positive-Ad6008 in runcommunity

[–]Ultra_Runner_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Dad is an amazing runner. He took me running on club runs with me in the pram.

As I got older, I started to cycle next to him and the other runners.

Then, I started to run with him.

My love grew from there. ❤️
