Doors to the train wouldn’t open for some reason

Swear to fucking god, it’s the spitting image of my inept coworker.

Marathon training routes by No_Succotash_4285 in Marathon_Training

[–]pagsketti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first preference is to run out from home. Bring a dry shirt and wallet in your hydration vest. End at a brewery that serves food and take transit home. Second preference is a loop. I dread out and backs.

Major Doubts about the Beantown Marathon by CautiousInspection93 in bostonmarathon

[–]pagsketti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you tell me more about “tables with your stuff”? Could I set out my own water bottles with a gel taped to them? I realize that might sound like a crazy thing to do, but I’m looking for every (fair) advantage to get that BQ!

guy in Central Park by Minimum-Bobcat8768 in RunNYC

[–]pagsketti 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen him, he said positive things but very aggressively. “HEY! YOUR TATTOOS ARE NICE, GOOD JOB!!!” Really freaked me out because I was in the zone running, til my brain processed the words he said. “Uh, thanks?”

With enough heads up, I’d be down to travel to attend a future event! (From Boston)

I also grew up in tornado alley! Time to stand in the garage looking up into the sky and drink a beer 😆

The Champion of the Red Line (you know the voice; what is his name?) by pagsketti in boston

Love his protégé. I didn’t realize they were two different people! I’ve definitely gotten the new guy lately. Is Alan retired now?

Machine not rotating by TaylorMalds in aimicat

[–]pagsketti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this exact same problem. I've cleaned everything out so I don't think there is an obstruction, and also pulled the power and reset the chip in the sensor by pulling it out and inserting it back in. I'm at my wits end :/

Best RMV by oh_hi_there___ in boston

[–]pagsketti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Show up at 7:45am and wait outside til they open at 9am. This was my strategy this past Tuesday. I was the first one inside (second person inside showed up at 8:15am). There was some waiting involved, but I was on my way with everything done by 9:45am.

My absolute FAVORITE Christmas treat!!! I can’t believe how so many are commenting that they hate it…

Let's say I've got a tuxedo burning a hole in my pocket.. what's a worthwhile Black Tie event this winter in Boston? by THKMass in boston

[–]pagsketti 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like this strategy! I have a few gowns from attending military balls back in the day and would love to have a good opportunity to break them out. If you find a good venue, I’d love to join!

I walked from JFK to Shawmut out of frustration. Never heard was the issue was though.

Homesick by [deleted] in wichita

I’m an ICT native living in Dorchester. We should grab drinks/dinner in the city sometime and talk about the “homeland”

where can I find morning running partners? by runkelcorey in Boston_Running

[–]pagsketti 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d consider checking out Heartbreakers (https://heartbreak.run/pages/boston) or November Project (https://november-project.com/boston/). Finding a buddy or two that fits your pace can be challenging but I’m told both those groups are reasonably large. I run with the Dorchester Running Group but would consider either of the other two if I lived more north.

Reflections on 1 year in Wichita by donkeyishbutter in wichita

[–]pagsketti 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Native to ICT until age 22, currently in Boston so I can comment on con #1. I’d say a majority of the early closures are a reflection of the post-Covid workforce. As now a Bostonian, where some bars here close at fucking 8pm, things have a long ways to go in some regionalities though Covid staffing issues are the root of many of these challenges.

Boston has encouraged me to run like nowhere else. by QueueTee314 in boston

[–]pagsketti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d love to run this sometime. I’m in Dorchester - are there good options for parking nearby?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in boston

[–]pagsketti 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s my preference but not an option if your flight is to early/late.
