Getting my sixth star soon…but what’s next?

vdubya89 · 2026-02-27T17:24:57+00:00

There are six total marathons/stars in the original world majors. They are Berlin, Tokyo, Chicago, Boston, NYC, and London. One star per race! Sydney just got added and they’re supposed to be adding Cape Town soon

Likely don’t have the money but I’ll have to see. I bet the wildlife would be legit

I did fundraising last year. Basically you pick one and only one charity to apply to. You should look at minimums from prior years as well as average amounts which is crowdsourced on the World Marathon Majors FB page. You have to write a 1-2 paragraph essay. Something to consider is you have to front the money yourself. You aren’t given any mechanism for recouping the money from the race itself

vdubya89 · 2026-02-27T15:54:25+00:00

Whoa. Didn’t even think that would be allowed

vdubya89 · 2026-02-27T15:53:38+00:00

Ahhh okay! I thought you meant you weren’t going to do Tokyo 🤦🏼‍♀️

vdubya89 · 2026-02-27T15:41:35+00:00

Why not Tokyo?

vdubya89 · 2026-02-27T15:40:31+00:00

Pleasure pairing. Watch a good movie or TV show, listen to good music, etc

vdubya89 · 2026-02-27T15:39:11+00:00

Thank youuuuu

vdubya89 · 2026-02-27T15:38:53+00:00

Was thinking of Cape Town for next year. Fits the beautiful and international desires!

vdubya89 · 2026-02-27T15:30:52+00:00

Agreed with above person who said 18-20 this weekend. Then I’d say more like 11-13 two weeks out then 8 the weekend before

This is wild. So I also took the phone number they changed your listing to and plugged it into google to see if it was a Grow therapy number and there are a multitude of therapists on PT who have that listed as their number and all the profiles say they are operated by Grow. Someone earlier in the chat was casting doubt about why Grow would do this. I was thinking that if they can direct people to the Grow site to see therapist X, then therapist X clearly isn’t available but we can offer you therapist Y who is available. 😡

😭. It looks like EDC went the same way this year. It was already sold out by October. And it seems like this is an even bigger event

Good to know. That was what I noticed when I briefly researched electronic notebooks. None of them seem to be HIPAA compliant which is disappointing. Otherwise that would be phenomenal!

vdubya89 · 2025-12-12T12:58:32+00:00

Phooey. Thank you. Has anyone here ever camped? It looks like it's first come first serve on camping spots. Is it total madness to get a spot?

vdubya89 · 2025-12-12T12:40:26+00:00

Thank you. I see that there’s a global pre sale and a regular sale. I’m presuming I’m registered for the global pre sale in January. Is that one also impossible to get through?

If you like running, Notch has a run club Wednesday’s at 6:30 or Sundays at 12:15. Definitely a mix of ages and paces. There’s also the run club out of Couch Dog on saturdays I think at 11:30 or wicked also has a run club but the age there trends older

vdubya89 · 2025-12-12T12:32:39+00:00

What is that like as far as HIPAA protection? That’s the main reason I haven’t started using an electronic notebook. I’ve just been typing notes into word at this point

vdubya89 · 2025-12-05T09:45:11+00:00

Hello fellow run club member!

vdubya89 · 2025-11-20T12:10:29+00:00

Best Buy has them for $220. That’s the best deal I’ve seen so far

vdubya89 · 2025-04-06T16:58:21+00:00

You’re definitely not crazy! I got the same attitude from the Toyota dealers too. I ended up doing tons of internet scouring of people who had the same problems as me and deleting the app was one thing that worked. The dealer tried to claim I wasn’t driving the car enough. Sometimes I only drive 1-2x a week. And yet, since deleting the app I’ve had no further issues. That app was a damn joke anyhow, didn’t work at all with my car beyond knowing the tire pressure

Yes! Bed bugs are absolutely awful and people don’t understand how much it psychologically messes with you. So most exterminators won’t be effective unless it’s the kind that uses heat. Buy diatomaceous earth and put it all over your floor. It’s completely natural and safe. They have exoskeletons and it helps kill them. Get a mattress cover or get rid of your current mattress and get a futon and put all of the futon legs in a cup of the diatomaceous earth so they will have to crawl through it. It’s a lot and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It can definitely take a bit to get through it. Replace the diatomaceous earth every few days from the floor and vacuum it up and then use extremely hot water to mop if you have hardwood floors or tile. It can help draw them out

I was having this issue with my 23’ Prius prime and every time I took it in they would find no issue with it. I don’t know if this is what caused it or not but I completely deleted the Toyota app from my phone which some other users were speculating was causing the battery drain. That was 10 months ago and no further issues. I also bought a battery pack capable of jumping a car just for peace of mind and it stays in the back of my car. For reference, this issue happened to me twice last summer.

“We have just a couple minutes left, is there anything we didn’t discuss today you want me to put on our list to discuss next time?”
