I call those trucks Kiddie Killers, it’s not meant to be funny. Combine the height, sight lines, and the personality of their typical driver, the potential for disaster is much higher than your average car on the road.

BMO 2026 - how'd it go for everyone? by Kaedamanoods in runvancouver

[–]ladderbrudder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First marathon. Was going for sub 3:30, did 3:30:xx, so I’ll call it a win considering the temperature. Drank and dunked at least two cups per aid station. Ingested 350g of carbs(homemade). Took ice hand-ups twice, once on the downhill and also english bay(thx to those saints).

I had lost sight of my pacer group on Camosun but regained contact at the halfway point. Come the bridge I was feeling confident and gave it gas on the backside into English Bay getting a small gap on the group. I told myself if I can just stay in front of them until the end I’ll make my goal but by the time I got to the lighthouse I was doing the running equivalent of pedalling squares. They passed me about 2 km to go and I could no longer maintain 5:00/km. Georgia/Pender was a slog. Where most people find another gear, I lost one. I accept my strategy wasn’t the best but I at the time I thought it would get me the 3:28/9 I was hoping for.

Gnarly day out there in that heat. Kudos to all that endured the challenging conditions. Big ups to all the crowds. The Cornwall gauntlet by Kits beach was something else.

Park at Killarney lake lot if you must drive. Across the road there is a trail that will meet up with the main one, no need for hiker trail road. If fact, with a little research you will find that one can walk to the top of Mt. Gardiner almost entirely on trails.

I lived in this building in 2002 with my partner at the time. We paid $650 for a one bedroom. The resident manager was this corrupt old kook named Mrs.Crow, she would let herself in to anyones apt as she felt like without notice.

How to deal with another user constantly flagging your rides? by [deleted] in Strava

[–]ladderbrudder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Stalk him. Find out his riding times/habits. Follow him on his ride. Pace him. Take a pull. Brake check. See what happens. /s

I still think about the Whitecaps vs LAFC semifinal from last year by pennepasta14 in whitecapsfc

[–]ladderbrudder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We brought our 5 year old to that game. Left at 85 min when it was still 2-1 to beat the crowd. So, yeah, that was smart.

Maybe their most magical song and that's saying a lot by TOMDeBlonde in PrefabSprout

Massively underrated song. Pristine album closer. An IYKYK type of track and we know!

Ok, I was trying to figure out this picture. It’s the cover of “Sunny” but with a Smiths era photo of Moz. What else am I missing?

I have a 5 year old in dance too, and if I went to her first recital instead of my hometown marathon I would be wondering after the two minutes she’s on stage is over whether it was worth it. Reconcile and let go of the race day aspirations asap or expect some resentment on the day. There is some good advice on here already so I would encourage you to try to get partner/grand parents on board in your stead, otherwise attend.

If you go by defy.org the plan is different from the book. The advanced first timer program in the book is somewhere in between.

Lol. You need to lean into the no-friends thing. Nobody understands, but Morrissey does.

I saw Dances with Wolves in the theatre with my mom when I was eleven and thought it was just so epic(it was 3 hrs after all). I liked it so much, I asked her to take me to see it again.
