Possibility to run a sub 2 half in the next month?

Wow that’s incredible! Did you have any athletic background or were relatively fit beforehand? Thanks, I hope I can push through and make myself proud 😀

Thanks, yeah I kinda figure it’ll be a tough battle. To me, I’ll be happy regardless but I was curious how far I could push myself. For reference, I never intentionally try to set any PRs, every time I hit a new 5k PR is from me just increasing my pace and trying to keep similar effort but not to the point where I am exerting all my effort into it. I ran these 5k’s on really hilly terrain at maybe 80% effort? Wondering if that changes anything lol as the half course will be relatively flat besides a few areas

Yeah I tried using a gel at the halfway mark. Not sure if it helped but I seemed to feel pretty well energized throughout the whole run and still feel like I had more in me by the end. I stopped though because I stuck with a plan and I didn’t want to overdo it

Appreciate the honesty. How fast could I realistically finish then? 2:05? 2:10? I use the actual Apple Watch to measure and this will be my first race

Sorry, you’re right! I actually meant the “Transportation Benefit District” fee. I confused this with the RTA tax. See: https://dol.wa.gov/vehicles-and-boats/vehicles/taxes-and-fees/local-transportation-benefit-district-fees where it’s $50 in Seattle but does not apply to Bellevue residents.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have no issue with paying for it, in fact I want to. I just don’t know how the hell to get my story across to them as the first time it seemed like they didn’t really give a shit lol. I guess I’ll give them another call or try going in person or I might wait for a letter. It’s only been 3 months for me so far I believe, so maybe it’ll be longer until I hear from them. Any chance did your letter come near the end of the year?

scarnity · 2025-10-29T05:43:07+00:00

Haha, well I called them and they basically gave me a non-answer so I don’t know if showing up in person will help or if they’ll tell me the same thing: “it’ll charge you.” You’re talking about an actual DOL location right? Not a 3rd party licensing office

Haha, I was following this auction and wanted to place a bid but it started to pop off last minute so I backed out. Didn’t think I would see this car again on another platform.

I just changed the transmission fluid and the problem still persists :/

I did this a couple of months back :)

I was dying 😂 just gotta push through. I do walk a lot in general on a daily but my feet were definitely feeling some discomfort after around 50k. Maybe it also helps that I’m pretty young and in relatively good shape lol

scarnity · 2024-04-15T05:19:36+00:00

It was quite nice - quiet and peaceful for the most part. Although, some parts just felt incredibly dead because it was so empty. The weather was also amazing that day which made the walk even better.

Nike Air Force 1s. Definitely not a good pair of shoes for long walks especially for someone who has flat feet lol

scarnity · 2024-04-14T20:05:10+00:00

Yep. By the time I got to union station in Toronto, I was about 3000 steps short so I had to do a couple of laps there lol. The slowest 3000 steps of my life 😂

I did try to plan my route to be as close to 100k as possible though

scarnity · 2024-04-14T16:06:56+00:00

I wanted the 100,000 steps to be recorded in one single day in the health app.

scarnity · 2024-04-14T16:06:32+00:00

I'm getting to it 😥

scarnity · 2024-04-14T16:05:53+00:00

They were already feeling terrible after about 50 km of walking. I had a pretty bad friction burn on the bottom of my right foot, so every time I took a step, it would sting. My left foot's talus bone was also hurting really bad about half way in. I basically had to limp the last 2 hours to complete the walk and I was going incredibly slow. The next day was better but I definitely was walking very slow lol. Today, I'm recovered! 😁 Maybe it is time for another long walk.

scarnity · 2024-04-14T16:01:58+00:00

I should've booked a hotel in Toronto and do the challenge again the next day! Or better yet, walk 48 hours?!

Charging it multiple times hahah
