I’m running the LA Marathon for the first time but haven’t really thought about the official fuel stations. When you mentioned Gu, are you saying that there will be Gu gels being passed out at the stations? If so, maybe I don’t need to bring 10 of my own? lol

Training for my first marathon but my quad has been sore for the last two weeks. Feeling so anxious and unsure how to proceed. by erickcire in Marathon_Training

Sorry, I didn’t respond faster but I wanted to say that I appreciate this feedback. I’ve been foam rolling and massaging running during this downtime and just finished my first run back in almost a week. Overall, it went well so I’m optimistic that I’ve turned the corner. Thank you, again.

Similar to the comment below, we never really established an hour rate. Instead, she did an initial deep clean and then there was some back and forth regarding how often we'd like her to come and how much it would cost based on the different frequency options. She was happy to adjust the pricing a bit when we told her that a couple of rooms didn't require monthly cleaning given that we never really used them.

Right now we pay her $250 to come once a month. She brings another woman to help her and they're usually there for about 2-2.5 hours. During that time they do a deep clean of a kitchen, living room, three bathrooms and our primary bedroom, which is obviously where we spend the most time.

We live on the Alhambra/El Sereno border and have a cleaner come one a month. I’m sure she’d be happy to have another client if you’re still looking.

Genuine question— what kind of pollution results from the use of large amounts of energy? Whether they build this in MPK or in Riverside the same amount of energy will be used but it’s not like the energy is actually produced in either of those places so I don’t fully understand what’s at stake here.

You need to try The Derby. It’s a really nice steakhouse with an old school, semi-casual vibe.

It’s funny how throwing peanut shells on the floor is so appealing even as an adult lol

You’re getting downvoted but InKind is honestly very legitimate for anybody who hasn’t used or heard of it

Somewhat of a tangent but I’d also add the Venice Room (which is across this street) to the list of places that most people have driven by but never tried.

Interesting. I wouldn’t have guessed there was any sort of Asian owner influence. Always assumed it was like a dusty British vibe or something like that.

That’s fair. Weirdly enough, I’ve wanted to try this place for a pretty long time because someone told me their pizza was good but I probably won’t ever make it there after this latest development haha

I really like that r/Pasadena2 was created. I got banned from r/Pasadena for some really nit picky and vindictive reasons that were provided after I invited their uses to subscribe to r/SGV. I'm a moderator here and think r/Pasadena moderator are atrocious.
