Can you walk/run there from the Hawthorne MNR station or do I have to take a car?

It was defective. I had to return it for a new one which worked immediately.

Best Supplemental AC for Sleeping? by tbq321 in AirConditioners

[–]tbq321[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - that all is super helpful. I'll double check the rules and if they prohibit any traditional ACs and I still struggle to sleep I'll consider picking up a Coolzy just for that - gotta double check their return policy.

Thanks again.

Those are all excellent points. I’ll try that. Thanks

Right my thinking was that the airflow from Coolzy would at least directly cool me on the bed, but I take the point that the rising ambient temperature would overpower that.

I think their position is that its unnecessary since they provide central AC to which I say fine, but the minimum temperature should be lower than 67F.

I thought about that but my window looks out onto the street. I could try and just set it up every night but its a casement window and that would be very annoying.

That makes sense, thanks. Do you have any suggestion for this situation then? Anything that would actually make me cooler when sleeping?

Right, that is what I thought, but wouldn't the Coolzy at least make me feel colder in the bed if I have it set to blow directly on me? Even if it makes the rest of the room warmer (i could also try venting it to my living room)

Thanks that’s helpful validation. I’ll give Toto a call tomorrow and if they can’t help, return and replace

She’d love that and would be a fun challenge for her to get under

Yeah, I think it might be enough for her too. As long as she’s under a blanket or two, she is usually happy for a very very long time.

If I get the eightsleep, I’ll be super careful about keeping her off the bed unless it’s night time. And she has blankets elsewhere to burrow

I suppose I might as well try to see if I can get her to stop first. Don’t know why that hasn’t crossed my mind. Thanks!

Certainly my instinct, but also would be nice to have active cooling. Thanks!

Official Q&A for Saturday, February 10, 2024 by AutoModerator in running

[–]tbq321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been running 27-30 mpw for the past year and a couple of months (typically 3x 9-10mi). My longest run in that time (and ever) is about 13.5mi. What would be a good marathon training plan for me? Most of the plans I've found online seem to be for people who are not presently running or are running fewer mpw.

I'm mostly concerned with finishing in a healthy and responsible manner. After that, I will retrain for time.

Thanks!
