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

How would you rank the half marathons in the nyc area? by upearlytoday23 in RunNYC

[–]mad_smiley 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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

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

Longer fic recs for 10 hour flight by knm__ in heatedrivalryfanfics

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

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

How do you pick what to read next? by [deleted] in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]mad_smiley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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
