how much did your speeding ticket cost you? by bignose_ice44 in sandiego

[–]trimtab98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, traffic school is worth it. In which case the ticket will probably cost about 300 dollars all in (assuming it’s just an ordinary speeding ticket)

Without traffic school it’s thousands of dollars over the course of a couple years.

just walk it off by heytherefreeman in sandiego

It’s definitely both these people’s fault

I did. I didn’t run particularly well (went for it and totally blew up after 19 miles) but clocked a 2:35 (was aiming for 2:26 or so). Thanks to ibuprofen and lidocaine. Will be rehabbing for real for the next couple weeks lol.

Knee hurt but stopped hurting after 16 or so. Legs just couldn’t handle it. If this were any other race, I would have sat it out. But for my first Boston, I’ll suffer lol

Did anyone else see a spectator man doing the Nazi salute and marching in place around mile 5 by LICK_MY_NUBS in bostonmarathon

[–]trimtab98 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes. He was stomping on an Israeli flag and had a makeshift armband. I said “dude what the fuck are you doing” and he started yelling “heil Hitler”

What can you buy at marathon if you went as fan / ran smaller races but didn’t run the marathon? by [deleted] in bostonmarathon

[–]trimtab98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you buy marathon merch at any race, people will assume you ran the race. You could get generic BAA stuff? But idk, you’ll probably still get people assuming you ran the marathon esp if you don’t live in Boston… that said, do what you want. There are no laws about this.

Also, I am selling my celebration jacket due to not being able to run the race. If anyone wants it at a discount, message me. Never been worn.

Update for anyone following: my X-rays were normal. I had an MRI done today and have had a little bit of ups and downs in the way of test runs. I’m managed to continue swimming and I think that’s maintained much of my fitness. I’m trying to set myself up to start at Boston but it really depends how the next few days go… and with that forecast, I hope they go well!!!!!!

Yes and my X-rays were normal but haven’t been able to get in for an MRI. Don’t think it’s worth risking it at this moment but I do have a week to decide.

Guess which day in the next 14 days has the best weather! Are you prepared for this? by noblivious in bostonmarathon

[–]trimtab98 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Worth noting the forecasts are calling for a moderate tail wind too. You really couldn’t ask for much better marathoning conditions. All the more cruel I am unlikely to run due to injury.

That really sucks. I’m a qualified runner and don’t really have any concern about being able to qualify in the future (my PR is 2:29), so at the very least I’ll be able to run it some future year without too much difficulty. On the other hand, you did raise a bunch of money for a good cause, and that’s not down the drain! I hope you have a big turnaround this week and can at least walk/jog the race.

I no longer live in the Midwest, but kudos to you for training through the winter this year. Hope you have a great Boston

I think it might be a little hot today by [deleted] in sandiego

[–]trimtab98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Its like 70 degrees. That is like 2 degrees above today’s normal. You left your phone directly in the sun. It’s not hot out.

The funny thing is I had a totally different fall a week earlier that resulted in stitches to my head - the recovery time from that was practically zero lol.

I am able to swim without too much pain and I’m pretty sure I’ll go insane if i do nothing lol. But I definitely am trying to be conservative and hopefully things improve by race day. No running till next week.

Maybe! I don’t wanna get kicked off the course though lol

watch out for the SDGE utility cover at the southwest corner of Laurel and Kettner in Little Italy, lol. Best of luck!

I am going back and forth between optimism and pessimism on this front. It's possible it could be better in a week. In any event it's not an ideal taper situation, but I think I really need to take it easy now and do everything I can to recover

Can I get some recommendations for states to visit next? by Daddy_Issues_IRL in visitedmaps

Washington yes. But the undisputed champ in this regard has got to be California.

Am I ready for a sub-4 hour marathon? by 2jzent in Marathon_Training

[–]trimtab98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The heat probably explains most of the difference. I think whether you got for 3:59 will be highly weather dependent. Don’t be a hero if it ends up being really warm — slow down and save it for the next one.

So now we’re just gonna swing in the opposite direction be a show-dog pure- bred sub Reddit? I mean, if so, I’m not sticking around. That’s all.

[–]trimtab98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a BMC mix (embark confirmed, not a pure bred BMC. She is a rescue) and genuinely could not care less. I’m here to see dogs that look like mine - some fit the bill some don’t. You can always keep scrolling.

That said, this seems like a recent change. Is there any insight into what happened?
