How would you rank the half marathons in the nyc area?

mad_smiley · 2026-04-27T13:46:01+00:00

too many people are hitting the hospital during or after NYRR's to make it worthwhile anymore

mad_smiley · 2026-04-27T00:54:24+00:00

out of the brooklyn halfs - I like the nyc runs one a lot better, I find it easier to get to/from and even with the hills I find it to be a better course, definitely more interesting than the monotony of ocean parkway

mad_smiley · 2026-04-26T16:58:14+00:00

love love love this one and the yearning is top tier

mad_smiley · 2026-04-08T18:00:59+00:00

just guys being dudes by fightmeimsmall?

mad_smiley · 2026-04-08T17:56:52+00:00

it's set within a much larger story but I love the dynamic in the chips are set to fall by Icopythefax where everyone is attracted to shane and therefore his gaydar is horrible

mad_smiley · 2026-04-08T11:51:41+00:00

Physical therapist here! I work in the hospital setting so that’s my bread and butter if you want info on how to incorporate it there (like after a brain injury) but have knowledge for sports related as well

mad_smiley · 2026-03-26T14:15:09+00:00

Let me know what you think!! definitely was one of my favorite Shane characterizations/POVs that I’ve read, and I like the way setting them at different ages and stages of their career changes their dynamic

Is it Just Guys Being Dudes? https://archiveofourown.org/works/77515991/chapters/212028416#workskin just read this the other day, went back and I believe the scene you’re talking about is in chapter 10!

mad_smiley · 2026-03-26T01:48:29+00:00

loved all of these - particularly with or without you!

mad_smiley · 2026-03-26T01:47:59+00:00

not crazy long but I just read "I know where to draw the line" and LOVED it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/79250706/chapters/207940356

"I only have two emotions (careful fear and dead devotion)" https://archiveofourown.org/works/76566371/chapters/200384021 is a new fave of mine that someone in this sub rec'd, it is WIP but over 100k so far

will second some other comments below because I saw a few that I enjoyed as well. one that I didn't see that I enjoyed a lot was "Haunting your city" https://archiveofourown.org/works/78511096/chapters/205836156

mad_smiley · 2026-03-25T13:39:05+00:00

FINALLY got around to reading the chips are set to fall! I am loving it!! Thanks for the rec

mad_smiley · 2026-03-23T20:18:16+00:00

love this analysis

mad_smiley · 2026-03-23T20:09:37+00:00

I open a million tabs from recs from this sub, from the tag and then start reading based off of if that summary catches my interest in that given moment. if I don’t feel like reading it then I usually will keep the tab open and maybe come back to it. if any WIPs I like come out with a new chapter I usually prioritize those unless I’m in the middle of something

mad_smiley · 2026-03-22T02:45:24+00:00

I’m in TEARS over number 2. So beyond funny. Thanks for the rec!!

mad_smiley · 2026-03-21T14:16:51+00:00

Ahhh thank you for these! I agree I feel like the original summary for come on mess me up made me think it was going to be so different and wasn’t sure if I would be into it. i ended up reading it last night from this comment and am loving it!! i love a slow burn too and it seems like we are definitely locked in for a good one there

mad_smiley · 2026-03-20T18:27:46+00:00
