I've lived in New York City for a month, ask me anything.

Really bad idea moving there. You’re the one doing all the giving. Moved, sold truck, abandoned family, etc. Not good!!!

When it ends he can literally say he left it all on the track and go home DEVASTATED. Happens to us all.

Why did you get divorced?

Maybe if you were both related and very close you could ask him this question, but if that was the case you also wouldn’t ask him. Why relationships fail in general is mundane but for the individual it’s very personal. It’s offensive to ask a stranger a very personal question. It makes you an as-shole.

Are you Catholic? If so, you need to take your fiancée to a Latin mass at St. Ignatius Loyola Church and listen to the Gregorian chants.

I'm not in the Ever camp but I rarely run with others. Loved it obviously in college but now I'm almost always running by myself.

Same but I wouldn't mind to run with a "leave me alone" singlet. Found it funny for a YT vlogger.

Also, I feel sorry for having snitched on the wedding but I forgot to hide my IP while doing so...so, If you ever travel nearby for your honeymoon, don't hesitate to ring and offer me a beer.

You do not have to be Catholic to enjoy the music.

My name is wineturtle not WineTurtle and I have never cried at a wedding. I have not been invited to the wedding nor do I know anyone named TomCruise. My Oracle Number of Tom Cruise is most likely a 3 at best

True, but only Catholics benefit from receiving the Eucharist at mass.

Where in CT? Will you check out the Manchester Road Race? Or New Haven 20k.

I can pace you in the MRR

Will you personally provide boots on the ground for the New York City marathon this year?

What is your wedding budget?

Do you both plan to adopt traditional gender roles in your marriage? If so, have you considered enrolling your wife in that feminist camp previously posted in this thread?

Are you guys going to SantaCon?

Sorry, my son, but the Eucharist is not yet gluten free. I've been busy lately, putting out friars.

TxRG what's your goal time for NYC?

Banana if we put you in charge of Letsrun.com every thread would be about Bekele.

Not carrying cash is a really good idea. The main thing is not having cash viewable; I was harassed and attacked by a homeless guy in broad daylight on a Sunday morning around people because I had cash out in my hand. (I was buying scones for my mom for Mother's Day at the farmer's market at CU, actually.)

Ha, I would just ignore the mugging news or emails. CU students get tons of emails about burglaries and etc around the area. Since you're a white, middle-aged male, I doubt you have too much to worry about (no offense), especially with a dog. It's usually females or Asians that are targeted (again, no offense).

I don't know about the dog fights, but tbh I wouldn't be surprised. I've just noticed the general move of homeless toward Morningside; there used to be a lot more hanging around CU, since the exhaust valves on the ground provided a continuous stream of warmth and CU students tend to give food and clothes to them. Idk, I guess the police have cracked down and so they moved. People are much nastier around there, unfortunately.

Morningside and Riverside Parks are the turf of the Dominican gangs: (Trinitarios and Latin Kings) and they own it after dark, so dont go running solo in there, even if you have your pugs with you.

Speaking of which: Have you got a pre-nup, life insurance and a will? If not, i'd like to introduce you to my brother-in-law Bernie. He can offer you a package deal. He makes house calls.

It's rojo that has pug(s). Get your LetsRun trivia straight.

Lol, I'm a kid. And yeah I know-- I trained for 2 marathons on a treadmill because 4:30am runs are a no-go here (even starting between 6am and 7am in the winter is bad..).

Definitely view the treadmill as a fantastic tool for workouts and very much view it as a time to live in your own reality. (I listen to podcasts to escape the monotony of the room view while running on a treadmill.) One can only stare at that speck on the wall so long....... but hey, safety is number 1. It only takes once ._. .
