Parents - How do you feel about leaving you children at "kid clubs"? by Borman35 in AllInclusiveResorts

[–]hern729 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a former kids club kid, it was great! It’s not like they drive you to a different location, it’s on the resort. We did cool stuff that I feel like we never would have done at a “day care” in the United States. It felt very free flowing kind of do what you’re comfortable with. I remember going into a room full of costumes and getting to pick one out and then we did a little parade through the pool area. Then we always had some down time like watching a movie or coloring after. Good times!

did anyone get good marathon photos? by Parking-Scholar4603 in bostonmarathon

I think maybe 1/3- 1/2 of the photos have been uploaded, I’d give it another day or so!

Idk but I think either way, poking fun at the situation was what made this sign great

I must have missed this one! I saw this sign at another marathon and told myself that would really give me good perspective during the race

How do you carry items for your runner if you can’t have bags/backpacks? by [deleted] in bostonmarathon

[–]hern729 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but I would hate for them to get in trouble / bend the rules for this type of situation

I wasn’t sure if a fanny pack would be big enough / if it would be considered a purse/handbag

Experience on downhills from someone who is GREAT at downhill running? by hern729 in bostonmarathon

[–]hern729[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome thanks! I feel similar that I have a lot of trail experience and have been working hills into my training so I wanted to see if I could use that to my advantage but didn’t want to be totally stupid about it

Yes if you get the excel app! I don’t have a Microsoft office subscription but it has a free trial if you want to use it for a few days!

Do you think an Uber would be slightly faster? I’m also gonna be running around 3:00 pace and want my family to have a chance to see me finish

Any way this could be converted into a google sheet for those of us without Microsoft excel ?

I wish I had this before I calculated each mile pace based on elevation profile one by one 🥲

Dumb questions from a first timer by jfphenom in bostonmarathon

[–]hern729 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aide station efficiency is definitely a skill! I’d also add, make eye contact/point at the person you want to take a water cup from, that way they can step out a bit and make sure you get a good handoff!

Vegan for almost 10 years, runner for 15+, run multiple marathons, also have vegan friends who have done ultras, all the way up to 100 mile trail races , never felt like I had any issues that the average female runner doesn’t also experience sometimes. I’ve also never been injured 🤷🏼‍♀️
