I want to start off by saying that I don’t know exactly what I expect to get out of this. I think you might be able to help me, but I don’t really know how you could. Maybe you can’t. It’s the only option I have at this point, in any case. I don’t know what else to do. If you can’t help me, I don’t know what I’ll do. I don’t know what’s going to happen to me anymore. I really need your help.
I’m a 911 dispatcher. Or, I was. I had been doing it for about 9 years now – it was a nice job. Well, one that puts food on the table, at the very least. I was good at it. Not a lot of people could take a job like that, but it was not too bad for me. Though there've been hundreds of dire events people have called for, it was rather uneventful for myself. I just sit in that room, answering call after call. Nothing much happens in that room. Nothing much happened to me in general. I had a pretty ordinary, uneventful life.
About a year ago, I’d say, this woman called in. No phone number. It happened, sometimes – our department spent our money on things other than an upgraded phone system… but that’s beside the point. She called in about a burglary that was about to happen in this rather poor part of town. She hung up pretty fast. I couldn’t get in a word, but, I don’t know, I guess I didn’t think too much of it.
It was not often that a person called in regarding something going to happen rather than something already happening. But, it happens sometimes. Sometimes people catch wind of a crime through word of mouth or see someone suspicious in their neighborhood before they do anything, and don’t know who else to call.
I thought that this was one of those instances, and handled it accordingly. I informed the police, and the police staked out the house that was supposed to get burglarized. Sure enough, a couple of guys tried to break into the place. They were caught before they could even get through the window they had broken open, from what I had heard.
A few days later, this woman called again. I thought her voice sounded familiar. She had this uniquely monotone voice. Emotionless. She sounded so familiar, but admittedly, I didn’t think too much of that, either. I guess I just heard too many voices… they all blurred together and sounded the same sometimes. Her number didn’t show up on the screen again. She called in about an assault. It hadn’t happened yet.
This felt odd to me. Assaults like this seemed like typically an in-the-moment thing. It usually was not planned ahead enough for someone else to know about it. I had a strange feeling about it, but she had hung up just as quickly as she had the first time, without letting me get a word in.
Of course, I informed the police again. The man was caught at the exact time and place that the woman on the call had said, trying to assault a woman on the street, and with a knife. It didn’t seem… premeditated. The news articles said that the man was drunk.
I was a little confused and actually pretty concerned – how did this woman on the phone know? But I didn’t have many options. Her calls didn’t come with a phone number, after all – I couldn’t just call her back to ask. That wasn’t part of my job, anyways. The police didn’t ask.
A couple weeks went by after that. Business as usual. Regular 911 calls – I don’t believe I heard that voice again once for that entire duration. I wish it had stayed that way.
She called again. Her voice struck me as familiar right off the bat this time. I recognized it, now. I knew it was her. This call, however, was far more concerning to me than the previous one. She said that my house was going to get broken into. She didn’t say it like that, she didn’t say that it was my house directly. She said that a house would get broken into, I asked her for the address, and the address that she gave me was mine. It took me a second to process this fully. It was so unexpected that my brain just took a second to click. I finally registered it – that this familiar sounding address was mine.
“What?”
But she had already hung up. Of course she had already hung up.
I sat there for a second, in shock. I couldn’t call her back, because of course her phone number hadn’t shown up again. We didn’t have a way of tracing calls or anything – we would need to get the police in for something like that. I didn’t have many options here. I did what I had done for the last two incidents – I informed the police, and they sent a cop to stake it out. I was still at work when it happened. Sure enough, a couple hours later, some guy tried to break in, and they caught him. They called me after the incident to inform me of this. It was my house after all.
I didn’t really know what to make of this. Not yet. I had recognized that woman as being the same woman from her previous two calls. It was already strange enough that she knew these crimes were going to happen beforehand each time, but it was too strange of a coincidence that one of the crimes happened to me. I didn’t know what to do. I guess I had hoped that it truly was just that – a coincidence. Just a strange coincidence.
Admittedly, I was scared to go home that night. I lingered at work for as long as I could, stalling for time – but, eventually, my boss made me leave. I drove home, probably going under the speed limit. I was a nervous wreck. The police caught the burglar – what was there to be scared of? I just couldn’t shake this ominous feeling off. About the caller. The woman. How did she know my house was going to get broken into? I tried to tell myself that perhaps she was just somehow well-informed of crimes. Maybe she knew some people, heard things through word of mouth, or something. I don’t know. But the ominous feeling wouldn’t go away.
When I arrived in my driveway, it was dark out. I always got home pretty late. I really did not want to step out of my car. I looked out all of my windows, squinting at the bushes and behind all my neighbor’s cars and fences for any sign of someone watching my home, or me. I don’t know why – again, I just… had a feeling.
I didn’t see anyone. After probably 20 minutes of this, I worked up the courage to step out. I finally left my car and went up to my house. Everything was fine, normal. No real sign of the burglary. The cop caught him before any real damage could be done, after all. The police had suggested I leave work when the actual attempt had happened, but I was so shaken up by the call – I told them I would come by the police station to talk about it the day afterwards. I guess I just wanted to be there – at the call station – in case she called again.
Anyways, I stepped inside. Nothing out of the ordinary. Of course, the burglar never actually got to go inside. I should have expected nothing to be out of place, but I checked everywhere anyway. I checked my closets, too. And under my bed. I was paranoid. No one had tried to break into my house before. I was pretty shaken up. I did not sleep well that night, if at all. I was happy to leave for work the next day. Anything to get out of there.
I was expecting another call from the woman the next day. Every time the phone rang, my heart sank a little. It was going to be her. But it never actually was.
The day went by like any normal day. I stopped by the police station afterwards. I needed to, anyways, to get some things sorted out regarding the burglar. But I told them about the incident, too, fully – I explained to them the strange caller. There wasn’t much they could do about it. It did not put me at ease, but I guess I was glad that they knew, too.
I didn’t sleep very well that night either. The days and nights went on like this for a while – expecting the woman each day, with every call, being paranoid in my own home. It was exhausting. But she never did call. Nothing ever did happen to me. I never looked out the window and saw a face staring back at me, watching my house, watching me. Things just went by as usual.
I chalked it all up to myself being paranoid. It was just a coincidence. That’s what I convinced myself. I convinced myself that nothing was unusual, that everything would be okay.
A couple months went by. I had practically forgotten about it all. She never called the 911 operating station again. I finished up one day, clocked out of work, grabbed a water bottle from the vending machine in the front lobby. I was about to step outside and head to my car when I got a phone call.
I took my phone out of my jacket and checked it – no number. Alright, I thought, it was probably a spam call, or something. Those usually didn’t come with a number, you know? Usually they said ‘Spam Caller,’ but, again, didn’t think too much of it. I declined it. I wasn’t one to answer spam calls. I reached for the door handle again. That’s when my phone started ringing again, too. I checked it. No number. That feeling from before – the ominous feeling – starting creeping back into me. I answered this time.
It was silent on the other line for a couple seconds, but those couple seconds went by for far too long as I stood there, silently, anticipating… something. I don’t know what.
Then she spoke. It was her. The caller from before. My blood ran ice cold. I paused, horrified. I recognized that voice, that tone, immediately. It was her.
She greeted me. She hadn’t done that before – which was not too unusual for a 911 call. People usually aren’t going to bother with greetings and pleasantries before telling me about their emergencies, after all. She didn’t either. But she greeted me this time.
“Hello,” she said, so simply, in that monotone voice of hers. I was so in shock, so taken aback and unprepared that I just could not get any words out after opening my mouth. There were a couple more awful seconds of silence before she continued on. “If you step outside, you will get hurt.”
She hung up. Just like that, she hung up. My jaw was still agape, wordless. I didn’t get to say a thing before she hung up. My heart was beating out of my chest, and I was frozen in front of the glass door in front of me. If you step outside, you will get hurt?
I finally snapped out of it and quickly backed far away from the front door. I ducked into a nearby hallway, where the elevators were – away from any glass doors or windows. That was that woman from before. The caller. From the burglary incident. The one who knew. How did she know I was about to leave? Was she outside the building, watching me through the door? The timing was far, far too perfect. How did she find me? And what did she mean by ‘I will get hurt?’ If she really was out there, was she about to hurt me?
I stood in that hallway with the elevators for ages. I didn’t know what to make of the situation, but I sure as hell was not stepping outside. I didn’t know what to do. I was terrified. My legs were shaking, I could barely breathe. I tried to call her back, fearfully, but the call could not go through. Not without a number to call back to.
Finally, I called an elevator and went back up to where my coworkers were still getting ready to leave. I must have looked so scared – they were able to tell right off the bat that something was off. I told them what had happened, I told them about the incident a few months ago, too. I was lucky to have such sweet, caring coworkers.
One of them, a buddy, a coworker named Trevor, offered to walk with me outside. Trevor was a big guy. Strong. I felt a little safer with this idea. If this woman came up to me to hurt me, I was sure Trevor would be able to protect me. I was still scared, to be sure – but if Trevor was there, maybe we could safely find the caller and put a stop to this all.
We went back down the elevators – Trevor and I. I was still terrified. He went outside first. I didn’t want to linger too far behind. I didn’t want to be alone. I stuck close behind him and stepped outside as well.
The chill of the night air hit me fast. It was dark out, apart from the light shining from the sidewalk lanterns by the entrance and out of the upstairs windows, where some of my coworkers still were. They were probably watching us.
Nothing happened at first. Trevor and I both looked around, observing our surroundings, looking for her in the darkness. I stood beside him, still sticking rather close to the entrance.
Then… I heard a noise. It happened so fast. I didn’t have time to process anything. Trevor didn’t, either.
I looked beside me, at Trevor, just in time to watch an air conditioning unit fall from an upper floor, straight onto his head.
Trevor collapsed just as fast – as soon as it hit him. I heard a sickening noise – one of hard metal hitting soft flesh. Another, far louder noise rang through the air as the unit hit the ground. He laid there, sprawled out on the floor, completely unmoving, the AC beside his head.
I stared at his body in horror. He didn’t move. Of course he didn’t move. I was again frozen in place, shaking. I watched as his head started slowly bleeding dark crimson onto the concrete. It started pooling around the AC unit, started dripping off of the sidewalk and into the grass.
There was scrambling behind me, a door opening. I was pushed out of the way, still glued in place, and a couple of my coworkers surrounded Trevor’s body. Someone ran inside to call for an ambulance. I felt sick to my stomach. I vomited onto the concrete below me, but I couldn’t look away.
I didn’t realize until much later that night, after the entire incident was over and I was able to safely make it back home, after the paramedics took Trevor away, after we were told he had died on the spot – that I had gotten a single cut on my cheek. Some of the blood had trickled down from the cut, trickled down onto my jaw and dried there. I hadn’t even noticed. So much was going on. One of the sidewalk lanterns had burst when the unit hit the ground hard. The glass had cut my cheek.
I had gotten hurt. Trevor had gotten hurt. Would I have been the one hit by the AC unit if I hadn’t gotten that call? Surely not – it was horrific timing, but it fell on its own, didn’t it?
The woman had completely slipped my mind during the incident. I realized this later, too. Was she out there? Did she see it happen? Did she plan this somehow? How did she know?
I didn’t go to work the next day. Or the day after that. Or the day after that. I was terrified, scared out of my mind. I stayed locked in my room, curtains shut. I didn’t know what to do. I constantly checked my phone, waiting for her to call again. I blamed myself for Trevor’s death, blamed the woman, blamed the police for not helping me find her.
I picked my phone up time and time again. I tried to find ways to call her back, scoured the internet for ways to figure out who called me. Nothing worked. I couldn’t do anything. I didn’t get any sleep. It was awful.
My boss came by after a couple weeks or so. He was kind. He knew the entire incident was horrifying for me. He let me stay home for a while on paid leave, no bothering me. It was considerate of him.
He came to check on me because I hadn’t been answering any calls. Not when there was a possibility I’d miss one from her if I did so. That was kind of him, too.
I let him in. I was hesitant. Opening the front door was scary, and the daylight behind him was blinding considering I had kept all my curtains closed for that entire 2 weeks. We sat on my couch.
He told me he understood how traumatizing the situation must have been for me. He told me he got it, and they were all sad about Trevor’s death, too, but I needed to come back into work again. I understood. I expected as much, when I saw him through the peephole. He offered a ride, said I could come back today. Said that maybe being around my other coworkers again might help.
I didn’t exactly want to. I felt… wrong about it. I felt as if leaving my house would open up opportunities for that woman to find a way to hurt me. Even moreso, I felt that being at work would increase my chances of missing her call.
I told him as much, but he said he would have to let me go if I didn’t come back to work. I wanted to refuse, but I didn’t have much of a choice. Part of me also wondered if perhaps answering calls there again could entice the woman to call again, instead. Maybe I won't freeze up this time. Maybe I could ask her immediately who she was, what she wanted. I hesitantly agreed, and accepted his invitation for a ride.
He stood back up, pleased. He asked if I needed any time to get ready, and I said I didn’t. He asked if he could use my bathroom first, and I said to go right ahead. As soon as I heard the bathroom door lock, I got the call.
No number. My stomach churned, but I was ready. My phone almost fell out of my hand in excitement. I answered, fast. My entire being was shaking. And there it was – that same voice. She said it just like how she had said it before.
“Hello.”
I didn’t hesitate this time.
“Who are you? What are you doing to me? How do you know?”
Silence. A few seconds of silence. I was on the edge of my seat, breathless, waiting.
“If you get in that car with him, you will die.”
She hung up as soon as she finished the final word.
“What? What are you saying to me? Come back!” I yelled into my phone, screaming hopelessly, even though she was no longer on the other line. No answers. I still knew nothing. Absolutely nothing.
My boss rushed back out of my bathroom, clearly concerned. He sat back down next to me, comforted me. I told him about what had happened. He searched my house with me, but we found nothing, no one. How could she have heard our conversation? How did she know I was about to leave with him?
He thought that maybe she had some sort of listening device on my phone. I didn’t even hesitate, I threw it at the wall, slammed it against the counter, cracking the glass. I turned it off, opened my front door, and threw it as hard as I could into the street.
I begged my boss not to go. He offered me a ride to the police station instead of work. I refused. If I get in that car with him, I will die. He called the police for me with his own phone before leaving. He waited with me until they arrived, then left for work. I begged him not to go, insisting that something would happen to him on the way. He had to get to work, though. He thought it was nonsense.
A car crash. A 3 car pile up – his was t-boned. It was fatal. They said it was a drunk driver. She couldn’t have known, but she knew. If I went with him, I would have been dead.
I was not going into work at that point. Again, the police could do nothing for me. The call was untraceable. Useless assholes.
I stayed home. I didn’t care. I needed to get to the bottom of this. I bought a new phone, I waited. I got them to put my old number, the one from the phone I had broken and tossed away, onto the new one. I checked it obsessively throughout each day, waiting for that call from her. I looked up different ways to immediately trace a call. I could try a couple right after a call had ended, if only she would call.
And she did. It was as if she somehow sensed my newfound resolve, my vigor. She started calling more often, predicting things for me. I had expected more death sentences, more warnings of a future demise, but it quickly became littler things. She would call, greet me in that same voice, that same old “hello”, and warn me of things like a future power outage, or an unlocked window. At one point, she knew of my expired milk. I’m notoriously bad at checking expiration dates – but I knew to check the milk before pouring it into my Fruit Loops. The calls became more and more frequent.
My attempts at tracing never worked, but I always came up with new ideas to try and find out who she was. I would try to listen closely for any background noise that could give me a hint as to her location, or I would try to hang up right after the “hello” to see if anything would change. Nothing worked out for me.
But it became sort of… exciting. It was a game of cat and mouse – I wanted to find her. I was ready for every call, anticipating them. I had nothing else to do. I was fired from my job. I didn’t even care.
I became excellent at heeding her each and every warning. Nothing bad happened to me anymore. I was in complete control. I was actually grateful. I didn’t even care that she somehow knew what I was doing and what was going to happen to me at all hours of the day – I just wanted to know who she was. My guardian angel. Nothing bad was going to happen to me with her watching over me. She made me feel so safe. I relied on her.
The woman called me one night, as I was sleeping. I picked up happily nevertheless, as had become the norm.
“Hello.” Same monotone voice. She was the only person who called me anymore.
“Hi.” I answered, grinning.
“They see me.”
She hung up.
I sat there for a second, processing. They see me. This was the first time she referred to herself, the first time she didn’t give me a warning. I didn’t know how to react. I sat there, motionless, shocked. They see me. I jumped out of bed, now genuinely distraught. What?
I paced for the rest of the night, waiting for another call. I waited for something to happen, waited for it to make sense. Nothing.
Days went by without a call from her. Bad things started happening to me again, things I had stopped looking out for.
Days and days. Weeks.
I checked news articles, facebook, radio stations. Did the police find her before I did? There wasn’t anything about it anywhere, if so. I called the station, they had no idea what I was talking about.
I kept all my curtains open, my doors unlocked, hoping she’d show herself, show how she knew what was happening in my life, come back. I looked out my windows hoping to see a face peering in at me. One never did.
Weeks and weeks. A month or so had passed. I don’t know anymore. I think I lost track.
I miss her. I don’t know how the woman knew everything that was going to happen in my life, but I miss her. I need to know who she was. I don’t know who could have found her. I don’t know what’s going to happen to me anymore, and I’m terrified. I need to find her. I don’t feel safe anymore. Something’s going to happen to me.

I went to a speed dating event yesterday. Part of the experience is you mark who you like vs who you don't. Sound familiar, right? Anyway, I had a mutual match with one woman and the service sent me her email address. I'm kind of at a loss at what to do next.
I'm not single at my age by accident. I'm not good at dating. I want to send her a good first email, BTW even typing this out feels weird, and I'm kind of at a loss. Any suggestions?

I can't make any sense of my exported data. Are there any apps that make it eady to extract date, duration, lap speed (bike), distance etc into a spreadsheet?

I tried a few. Fun Singles, Coupled, and Filteroff. Was wondering if there was anything else i was missing?

Race Information

• Name: Bend Half / Eugene Half
• Date: April 14 / April 28th 2024
• Distance: 13.1 miles
• Location: Oregon
• Time: 1:32. / 1:31:30.

Bend was at 3.5k elevation with ~700 up/down
Eugene is at sea level with ~500 up/down
TL;DR I got a race that felt very good on the first attempt, last one felt way more meh, but overall OK... would do again, but not soon...

Goals

Goal	Description	Completed?
A	Have a well executed half	YES!
B	Sub 1:30	No
C	Recover well enough to race second faster	Yes
D	Sub 7 min/mile	Yes

Splits

Bend
Ran entirely by feel, no pacer. I checked my paces occasionally to stay in a predefined zone (6:50 to 7:10)
Felt like pretty even splits, end was more down hill so I did have a nice positive split, GAP says I slowed down but it felt good.
Eugene

• First 7 miles were consistent 6:52
• 9-10 were around 7:05
• 11 - 13.1 were 7:15 (slowest ~7:30), I was battling side pain and having a BPM through the roof for too long

Training

I heard on a guest on a podcast last year (probably strength running) say offhand that “you can't do back to back marathons but you can do back to back halves,” and I was... intrigued.
Last year I was still in my early "new runners glow" of having big PR's at the start of the year and ever bigger dreams. Some too-high expectations, some disappointments. I figured back to back halves would give me a chance to dream to big on the first and level set for even splits on the second based on the information. I imagined my strategy could change (and it did) but at least I’d gain some useful training and recovery info about myself.
I really like writing out my own training plans, so I've do my own for 18 months. I plan to read Pfitz book and do the 70/18 plan as I imagine it will get me a lot further than my own plans… but I like the process, it hasn’t burnt me out or injured me, so I’m keeping with it until I actually read that book.
I started the year on a 6 week "lose weight and run 5k's" block and hit sub 20 min 5k which had been a long time goal. It felt good! After maintaining ~48mpw during that I switched to half training.
During that time I read Jack Daniel's training book and realized hitting intervals/repetitions/tempos would be very good and I shoulda done them next year. I only had 9 weeks after that block so my lead up training plan was:

• Weeks 1-5 EZ / Tempo+MLR / Rep+ML EZ /EZ /Long/ EZ
• Weeks 5-6 I held on to 60 mpw (my highest ever mileage, topping at 63) and introduced intervals. I felt back to back MLR was crazy as I wasn't hitting training paces (and I did MLR during tempo and repetitions!) so I did one MLR between two quality days and left their mileage low.
• Weeks 7-9 I did a 10k tune up (42min) and taper from 60 to 40 mpw

I started doing marathon pace blocks in my long runs at the get go. Long runs were from 14-16 miles with 1 - 3 miles of marathon pace. It felt challenging but good! Good mental training for the end of a race. I did them back to back, but I think going forward I’ll just do them every other week.
It was my first 60mpw and I felt great holding on to it for 4 weeks. Once I stopped that ill-advised back to back training/MLR the weeks felt manageable.
I also kept up weight training 2-3 times a week with usually two leg days a week hitting all the major stuff.
No injuries, my sleep did start getting kinda crappy for no obvious reason somewhere in there I took for overtraining maybe, but taper was soon thereafter so it was OK.

Pre-race Bend

Taper for Bend felt good. Small niggles and pains came up out of nowhere but I kinda know at this point to ignore them as they amount to nothing. I
Spent few days before in a nice relaxing cabin out in the woods. Day of felt magical, expectations were perfect based on my tune up.
I decided to try caffeine pills and Tylenol for this race so I did a 2 week caffeine fast. Massive head ache first couple days as I was thoroughly addictive, slow building to totally fine after 5 days.

Race Bend

Took 400mg caffeine pills 1 hour before the race with Tylenol. 20 minutes later I was hyper and READY to race. Felt kinda child-ish with the hyperactivity.
Race itself felt perfectly executed. My tune up let me know sub 1:30 was a bit crazy and my former PR was 1:37. I went by feel pretty much the whole race as there were no pacers for my speed and the field was pretty empty compared to a larger city.
Lots of ups and downs, but I once again just felt it out and rode it out. I didn't feel mentally tired until mile 7, but it was OK! Physical and mental exhaustion really set in around mile 11 but I felt capable of hammering on, passing some folks.
Looking at the GAP strava splits in hindsight, the end was downhill so my pace did get “slower” a bit miles 10-13 but not too much.
I didn't know my time until I saw the 1:31:XX on the clock so I had enough for a little sprint to hit just under 1:32 by chip time. I felt ecstatic!

Post-race Bend

I was SORE for a week. I knew I had to recover in 2 weeks for Eugene so I was very careful the first week, but did lots of short easy runs. Started doing light strength training day 4 and it felt great.
This coulda been very silly because I did legs every other day for 4 days, up until 3 days out from Eugene. I was too compulsive in wanting to work out something… next time I feel I will do better exactly laying out every workout (and food) ahead of time with calendar reminders before a race so I don’t just get loopy and over do something.
I decided to tell myself I could walk off the course in Eugene if something felt off, and that it was fine not racing both. This was more out of a way of acceptance and general not wanting to hurt myself/burn out than any specific cause.
I did the math and though I could get under 1:30 for Eugene as:

• It had a easier course (less/up down)
• It was sea level
• It had a pacer I could use for my goal

Pre-race Eugene

I felt recovered after a week, so I did exactly the same thing as my Bend taper for Eugene since it felt good. 10 min Tempo / easy run / 2 repetitions and interval/ easy run/ easy run/ easy run strides / RACE
Everything felt pretty dang good, my heart rate was acting normal, legs felt good. Some runs were meh but I had a great run in my race shoes, Saucony Endorphin Pro 4 (both races) which was easy, kinda fast, and smooth with low heart rate.
Day before race something seemed up. I slept in by a couple hours and had a nap, and felt I could sleep more. Like, lots of rest is good, but I felt down right sleepy… I assumed it was all the carbs but in hindsight I’m less sure.

Race Eugene

Took caffeine pills 1 hour before the race and 40 minutes out I felt that nice familiar high. Walking around Eugene and jogging a bit I was psyched. As I anticipated Eugene was WAY bigger. I found my 1:30 pacer as I lined up and was kinda nervous I couldn’t get close.
First 6 miles felt… OK. I kept the pacer in sight but Jesus it was a crowded field. I am very used to running along and I never understood the “make a move” aspect of a race until now. Trying to get in front of folks, or stay at a good pace for yourself, while surrounded by dozens of people in close proximity is NOT IDEAL. I imagine it’s a skill for me to learn but I liked the small town comparison of Bend. Running my own race felt good.
Bad stuff:

• My heart rate was higher than Bend in those 6 miles. I was running 10 seconds/mile faster… I figured it would pan out…
• Going by Strava my heart rate was anaerobic for 12 minutes and threshold for 50 minutes... like all in the same chunk after the start of the race...
• My stomach started cramping lightly (return of my marathon!) I’m pretty sure refined sugar I normally eschew kinda tripped me up? I didn’t make my Marathon mistake of downing dandy marshmallows before the race but I had a couple sweet scones Saturday to up the carbs. Or it was just an unfunny fluke.

Miles 7 - 8 I kept up the pace, felt pain encroaching though. It was a full body sore, I tried to keep a smooth stride that helped a bit but I didn’t have the same energy as Bend. Checking my heart rate it had been like 10bmp above my supposed lactacte threshold for almost 40 minutes at this point.
Miles 9 - 13 were a pain fest getting slower, this is where I lost my time to hit 1:30. I wasn’t totally thinking about realizing my heart was through the roof from the beginning I shoulda realize early sticking with 1:30 group wasn’t going to pan out. I’m unsure if I even could stick to even splits with the crowd.

Post-race Eugene

Verge of cramps, stiffness. Typical stuff. After some meet and greet I went back and felt possibly the worst I’ve ever felt during a race. Fun experience, glad I could race both.

Post-races

The magic was there for Bend… if I just trained two weeks more and only raced Eugene would I have hit sub 1:30 I wanted? Maybe, or maybe I’ll find out I’m sick and Bend was the best I’d get this cycle. Maybe I was only mostly recovered from Bend and 2 weeks wasn’t enough.
Lots of what ifs, but like, comparatively far less than if I only had one race. A good race or a bad race is such a crapshoot. I do wish the easier course was first so I could have a bigger PR, but like… Bend’s hills and tranquility were possibly more to my strengths, and maybe that elevation wasn’t something that would effect me personally as much. I don’t think sucking in Oxygen is ever the weak link in my chain?
I don’t think I’ll do double halves soon but I may consider have a backup race paid for 1-2 weeks out. It seems a bit impossible to know in the moment though if it will be useful, race day is such a gamble!
Overall I’m happy I went for it in Eugene, happy I did, found I can recover in time for a race, maybe three weeks would be better but god damn I’m excited to train again and a bit sick of a month of tapering, recovery, and now another stretch of recovery.

This is kind of long and ramblely, but I wanted to be as truthful as possible and give as much context as possible. Please give it a read through and let me know your thoughts!

Training

For context, I am early 20s F who has been running consistently for almost two year now, though I have been generally physically active all my life.
I got into running thinking I'd do a half, and then I enjoyed running a bit too much and ended up training enough to run a marathon, so I did my first marathon (Philly 2022, ~mid Nov) after starting May 2022. My training plan for this marathon was just run a lot, and run everything slow. In 2023, I trained for Philly again following the Pfitzinger 18 weeks/up to 55mi plan (did speed workouts for the first time!) and ran 3:27:02 with a super pro friend pacing me. I was pretty excited by this race and figured I'd have a good chance of being able to run Boston 2025 if I kept up the momentum and trained for a spring marathon. This led me to sign up for Jim Thorpe, which I thought that being a downhill course would definitely let me run within 3:25:00 and qualify for Boston 2025.
I followed the same Pfitzinger plan as before, with a few modifications. I trained for a goal marathon time of 3:20:00, thinking that I would have 5min leeway during the race if things went wrong. I tried to run the recovery runs slower, especially as I got closer to the race because in the previous cycle I was running these around 8:45min/mi, which isn't really "fast" but definitely isn't recovery. I also paid a lot closer attention to my marathon pace runs. In the previous training cycle, for a workout like 14mi marathon pace with 18mi total, I'd run 2mi warmup, 14mi at marathon pace with breaks in between to eat gels (definitely cheating), and 2mi cooldown. I changed to 4mi warmup into 14mi at marathon pace with no breaks. This was definitely a really rough adjustment at first and I would often be under my desired pace towards the beginning of the plan, but I got better towards the end. Finally, I had the general goal of "stick with my lactate threshold runs" because those runs were by far the hardest for me and were the workouts I was mostly likely to not hit pace on.
Here were my goal paces for the run types: * Easy: ~9:30min/mi * General Aerobic (~8-12mi runs): ~8:45-9:00min/mi * Long Runs (14mi+): ~9:00min/mi, held steady throughout * Marathon Pace: ~7:40min/mi * Lactate Threshold (4mi - 7mi): ~7:15min/mi * VO2 Max (speed workout kinda stuff): ~6:40min/mi
The beginning 4 weeks felt a lot harder than I expected. I took a month "off" (running ~30-40mi/week) which I thought would keep me in decent shape, but all of those runs were generally slow (~9:30min/mi) and for fun. Workouts were really a slap in the face starting the training plan again. However, coming into the middle of the training plan I really felt pretty good. I struggled a lot with exhaustion during the last training plan like falling asleep in class, but I felt like my recovery was faster this time. The only workout I still struggled with were the lactate threshold workouts. I'm fine for the first 3mi, but after that my breathing is so hard and my legs feel toasted and it's really hard to keep pace. At some point I just started looking at heartrate instead of pace and trying to keep a hard effort since keeping pace was so demoralizing. I settled for about 180bpm.
With five weeks to go, I ran a beautiful 18mi with 14mi at marathon pace. Tried a beefy caffeine gel for the first time (SiS Beta Fuel + Nootropics, 200mg of caffeine) and felt like I was flying. I actually easily hit my marathon pace and felt confident about my race. Then, the great calamity. I rested for one day, and then ran 11mi the next day with friends... after that my left shin/calf hurt while walking. I ended up having to skip the next two long runs and cut back on mileage. This hurt so much after such a good marathon pace run because it felt like my pace dreams were slipping away.
My shin/calf managed to get well enough to run a 20mi three weeks before the race with only some pain. I replaced the 16mi Sunday long run with the 20mi because I felt like I needed a long run as a mental confidence check and prove to myself that I can still run longer distances, and I figured because it was only 4mi more than scheduled it shouldn't hurt my taper. With the two week taper after that long run, my shin/calf felt fine enough to race in.
To give people a better idea of my mileage while injured: * 6 weeks to go: 52mi (week I ran the marathon pace run) * 5 weeks to go: 29mi * 4 weeks to go: 24mi * 3 weeks to go: 39mi (skipped 1.5 runs to make sure I could push out the 20mi) * 2 weeks to go: 31mi (back to following the plan as normal at this point) * last week: 48mi (includes the marathon)
And some other random details: * I train using the gels I use while racing, and I take the gels at the same interval (so in theory my stomach should be very used to the gels) * I run with a water bottle/waist belt thing and drink whenever I want to (maybe only drinking at "water station miles" would be better? Or learn to run using less water?) * I'm in a running club and I run races with them during the training season for funsies. This spring, I ran a half at marathon pace, and set a 10K PR. I also ran 5Ks but didn't try to PR because either a. heavy training week or b. injured later.

Pre-race

At this point, I had no clue what I'd be able to run, but I felt like I still has a good chance of at least getting a PR. My plan was to start out at 7:40, on track for 3:20:00, and have a slower second half if needed but hopefully still keeping around the same pace. Perhaps too optimistic looking back?
Last race in Philly I wasted 2min cause my stomach was so bad I had to go to the bathroom twice in the middle, and my stomach was cramping for a good 2/3 of the race too, before and after the bathroom breaks. The stomach cramps during Philly made my legs feel really weak which I think made me go slower than I otherwise could have. Because of this, I focused on eating healthy the week before (diet was generally healthy during training too, but was especially careful the week before). I also slept a full 8 hours every night the week before the race. The day before the race, I ate pretty much only simple carbs (bagels, pasta, dinner roll) and avoided fibers/fat to minimizing the chance of needing to use the bathroom during the race.
Unfortunately, the weather was not super great. The week before was all 50F highs, but for the day of the race the temperature spiked to an 80Fe high, and the humidity was >90% with a 40 some degree dew point. Most of the race should still be in the 50Fs, but the last stretch would be in the 60Fs. I trained in pretty frigid dry winter conditions, so I was worried about being able to handle the heat, and whether I'd be thirsty/cramping at the end. I decided to use 5 SiS electrolyte gels, one SiS caffeine gel that was so good during training, and drink at every water station (roughly every 2-3mi).
Another thing is that because Jim Thorpe is in a gorge, the GPS was going to be really bad according to the race organizers. Therefore, my plan was to manually lap every mile with the Race Screen on Garmin, and try to find some people going for the same time at the beginning of the race to run with. I depended so much on seeing my current pace during my training runs that this part made me the most nervous.
I had a 0.78mi warmup (way too little in hindsight, but I was worried about adding unnecessary mileage for my shin/calf to deal with), and lined up at the starting line.

Race

The first 4 miles saw some crazy pacing issues with me. I genuinely had no clue how fast I was running until I hit the mile markers and lapped my watch. My watch was telling me my current pace was 8:30min/mi ish when I ran those two miles at 7:20min/mi... not a great confidence booster at the start, but I figured I would run a bit slower to let my pace even out.
Over the next few miles, I tried to problem solve keep my pace even by looking at my heart rate instead of my pace. Outside of my lactate threshold runs I pretty much never checked my watched heartrate during my run, and I didn't know what my marathon pace heartrate was to be honest, but I tried to keep it around 170bpm. Was this reasonable for my age? I had no clue. It felt like a reasonably hard effort effort at the time, where it would be challenging to keep up but not be so hard that I would hit the wall later. As the miles went on it became so much harder to maintain that heart rate, and my pace was slower for the same heartrate, so I opted for a pacing strategy based on effort, where I tried to feel like I was pushing myself but hopefully not too hard, and try to run faster if the lap pace for that mile was slow.
At mile 6, I could feel my stomach start to cramp, an added factor that made it even harder to keep pace. I also missed picking up water at one of the stations by whiffing the cup (in these circumstances, should I go back for water?). At mile 12 I tried going to the bathroom hoping that it might help, but I was empty. I think this meant my diet choices worked, but something else was just making my stomach cramp up pretty badly.
By mile 12 I was sure that 3:20:00 was completely unrealistic, but I was still hoping for sub 3:25:00. I had my caffeine gel around this time too, and while it didn't feel as good as during training it helped me feel more focused. I tried to make back some time, but it was really hard to devote all of my concentration for long enough periods to break out of the 7:50ish pace. My stomach was still cramping in the background, which I did my best to ignore, and I started feeling pretty nauseous when I went fast so I tried to run right at the edge of a bit of nausea, but not too much nausea. Choking down gels became harder. And by mile 18, I was so thirsty despite drinking water from every station that I was just looking forward to the next station.
By 20mi, my watch said I still had a chance of PRing, so I tried to up my pace for the next two miles. Everyone was so spread out by this point in the race that it felt like I was running alone, and the race course was now exposed to the sun. I was getting even thirstier and my stomach was cramping hard enough I thought I might shit myself (despite having no shit, as evidenced earlier), and my legs were starting to hurt but I still wanted to PR.
By mile 23, I felt like I hit the wall. I am sure the dehydration, heat, my whole digestive system wanting out from my body, blah blah blah contributed to that, but it was also a mental collapse. My watch told me that my finishing time would be slower my PR, and in that time while I was hurting and running alone I just couldn't convince myself that I could run fast enough to still PR. My pace fell off a cliff and I dragged myself across the finish line in a time way slower than what I envisioned in my worst case scenario.

Post-race

So, feeling pretty ashamed about giving up at the end. Boston 2025 is no longer possible, but I am determined to be there at Boston 2026. Here are my thoughts/questions on things to do next and improve. Feel free to be brutally honest with feedback:
* Dealing with the mental aspect: As soon as I felt like I wouldn't have a chance of hitting my last goal it was hard to find a reason to continue running fast. I think it's something I struggled with during my training too specifically with the lactate threshold runs, where when I fall off my goal pace for the workout I am always tempted to just fold. That's why I ended up using the heartrate method to continue giving myself a goal to strive towards, but even then there were two lactate thresholds that I caved in for. If I believe that I have a chance of hitting my goals though, I give it everything I have. I guess my question is that is there a way to train the "give everything" mindset even when I think I've failed to hit your goals? Any ways to practice convincing myself there's still a chance? Any other runs/workouts I can adapt to give me more chances to practice achieving this goal? I'm thinking I could make my long runs into progressions, but I'm not sure if that would be too exhausting for recovery purposes (and I love doing my slow long runs :( ). I know the solution to the mental aspect is partially "just try harder", but that hasn't been working well so far so I'm wondering if there's a specific way to improve at "trying harder".
* Another part for the mental aspect: I wanted to run a faster pace than I was running throughout the whole marathon, even before my mental completely gave in. Part of me failing to do so was me being unsure about whether going to hard would set me up for failure later in the race, and part of it was just that it was so hard to maintain a faster pace, taking way more sustained mental effort than I had put in for long runs. I think I am not used to concentrating too hard when running, which is fine for when I am feeling good but clearly a skill I need to build for days where I am not feeling good like in this race. How do I train this too?
* Side tangent, though perhaps relevant: Interestingly, I don't have this issue for the 5x800 style runs, maybe because the distance is so short that the pain seems temporary and its easy to mentally tell myself that the goal holds for the next 800 even if I run one too slowly. But this sectioning doesn't happen as well for long hard efforts because floating in the back of my head I know that even if I finish a chunk I have to do it again and again without a break.
* How do I pace? I didn't appreciate how much of a boon it was to have my own personal pacer during Philly. My friend was super experienced and tried to keep an even effort throughout. I felt like I didn't need to think about what the optimal amount of effort to put in was, I simply turned off my brain and followed. I didn't even look at my watch the whole race, and in the end when I was tired and dying he kept me motivated by reminding me of my goals and giving me encouragement. But obviously, I need to learn how to pace by myself.
* So what is the optimal heartrate range when running a marathon? Some sources online say 90% of max heart rate, which would be around 180bpm for me. However seeing as how I struggled to keep up that effort for 6mi during a lactate threshold run, I am sure I can't keep up that effort for a marathon. I looked back at that one marathon pace run and my heartrate was ~170bpm. I have no heartrate data for Philly because I had to borrow someone else's watch, their their heartrate sensor was really off. What might be a reasonable range for me, and how could I train it up more effectively? Probably more lactate threshold runs I guess, but maybe there's a better workout to ease into those since I am so used to running slow? In addition, how do I account for drift where my heartrate speeds up anyways throughout the race, regardless of my pace?
* Is pacing by effort even valid? My marathon pace run before I got injured felt relatively easy, which is why I really tried to rein in my effort throughout the race because I didn't think it should feel that hard. Even compared to the last marathon, it felt a lot harder earlier on. And in training, I have good days and really bad days where an easy pace feels hard. So for you all, if you aren't feeling well during a race, do you just ignore the relative effort you have to put in and go full steam for your desired time? Is it smarter to try to race by effort and try to get the best time for the conditions that day? I think I was wavering between these two ideas for most of the race.
* Sticking with a group? I saw this advice online, and I tried running with people at the beginning, but me trying to stay in certain groups led to some of the crazier pacing in the first four miles. Is there something I'm missing on how to select groups to follow?
* The stomach: I tried so hard to fix this since my last race. I really think my stomach cramps this time are not due to diet problems/literally having shit. I've found that before my long runs if I eat a healthy balanced diet and avoid fiber the day before I am fine. Maybe my stomach cramps from too much exertion while running? Perhaps a longer warmup would have been better to get used to the pace? I wore my running belt to carry my gels, but maybe the slight up down bouncing movement induced bowel movements in my stomach (although the belt/stomach issues in generally were nonexistent during my marathon pace run before injury). I've read about imodium on this sub, does that work by making the poop more solid or by causing the muscles to move less? I think this is a huge factor that has held me back in my past two races, and any and all advice would be appreciated.
* Hydration: I don't think I mentioned this before, but I was also really thirsty in the last 6 miles of Philly 2023. This time I drank way more, but also felt so much worse possibly because not used to the heat/humidity anymore. Would it be worth it to just carry a water bottle with me or is that too much time loss? Should I full on stop at the hydration stations and drink a lot? Issues with that is a. severe time loss, and b. chugging water tends to give me side stitches when I start running after. I usually sip as needed from a water bottle while training, is it a viable strategy to start limiting my water intake during runs to match race conditions better or would that just be needlessly dehydrating myself?
* Thoughts on continuing to use the Pfizgerald 18 week/55mi max plan? I really do not want to move up to a higher mileage plan because of how much extra time it would be; balancing training on top of college, extracurriculars, and friends is already a tall order. Maybe there is another plan floating out there that would be specific to areas I need to improve on?
* Shoes? I used the Adidas Ultraboost because they were my workout shoes while training, even though they were a bit heavy. For my last marathon, I wore the Nike Vaporfly 2, but with online ordering I got a size too small and two of my toenails completely fell off, which is why I didn't want to wear them for this race. I didn't buy new shoes for this race cause the Vaporflys were already so expensive, and I didn't want to spend more when my workout shoes are technically already a "fast" shoe. I generally feel pretty fast in the Ultraboosts, so I didn't think having Vaporflys for the race would make that much of a difference (at least for a $260 difference). Also, my form isn't super good and I do a more midfoot/heel strike, so it felt like I was wasting the carbon fiber plate but not maximally activating it. I guess my question is, do they actually make that much of a difference even for someone with my running form?
* Did my injury really warrant such a decrease in performance? I knew that this marathon was going to hurt more than my pre injury marathon pace run, but it genuinely was so much harder than I expected. I thought I'd still be okay because my injury seemed relatively minor compared to how bad it could be, seeing as how I was still able to push out some short runs without pain even during the weeks where I was injured. Also now, about 8 hours after finishing, I don't think my legs hurt as much as they did after Philly 2023, so I think my legs are relatively fit. I don't know how much of my performance today was due to a mental failure and the conditions with the weathemy body versus how much was due to a genuine loss in fitness. I would love to hear people's thoughts on this. Also, if I get injured in the future, how can I recalibrate my goals?
* Finally, if I train for 18 weeks, I get a small off season period until late July. How do I utilize this the most effectively? Do I continue running a lot after a short break? Should I do workouts during the off season so I can associate them with fun (like my long runs) instead of painful tests of my fitness? Is it worth cross training and what would I do to cross train, considering the fact that I don't know how to ride a bike and I don't have access to a pool/gym?
If you've made it this far, thank you so much for reading! Let me know if you have any additional questions or if there's additional info I can give. This race wasn't my best but I am determined to do well on my next one!
TL;DR:
Trying to qualify for the Boston marathon, previous time 3:27:02 and aiming for at least sub 3:25:00 with this marathon. Training was solid up until a minor injury 5 weeks before the race that made me cut back some mileage. During the race, felt like maintaining pace/speeding up took more effort than expected, even though the pace was slower than goal pace by about 10sec/mi. Also struggled with thirst, heat, pacing myself/running long stretches alone, and stomach cramping/nausea. Ended up giving up on keeping pace at mile 23. Would appreciate advice on practicing building mental strength during the training phase, how I can avoid the stomach cramps with diet being eliminated as a factor, learning how to pace, among other things. Thank you so much!

Hello, I thought it would be nice to create a subreddit so that we can share all the BS and non sense and lies Coinbase support has been telling you on live chat or by other means.
I think there are good laughs and it s also good to expose how outrageous and ridiculous there support are. We can't attach screenshot but I would gladly provide those if allowed.
First experience trying to speed up a delayed transaction by verifying my ID, then after verification transaction still delayed and app still asking me for id verification:
Me: I want a clear answer now, is my ID verified or not?
Coinbase: yes your ID is verified. However you need to follow the steps now so that I can take the necessary steps from my end.
Me: the process you're telling me to follow is to verify my ID 3. Select "accelerate withdrawal" option to initiate the ID verification process.
Me: so you just told me my ID is verified but you're asking me to verify my ID. Are you brain dead?
Coinbase: I'm requesting you to follow the steps.
Second experience today, trying to have them tell me why I have no confirmation of my iD being verified:
Me: I want either 1) to receive the confirmation email as per stated on your website or 2) to know where to see my ID verification status on the app or website
Coinbase: please follow the steps below (then sending a non sense generic guidelines asking me to provide address verification)
Me: you just told me my ID is verified now you're telling me to follow those steps to verify my ID
Coinbase: the above was for address verification
Me: where did you see at any point a question about adresse vérification
Coinbase: please hold on few minutes so that I check your account (Then a continuation of similar non sense ending with no answer on my ID verification status)
Third experience today when support tells me there is a hold on my account and I can't send cryptos until the hold is removed:
Me: what hold and until when is it applying?
Coinbase: Your current hold for $975.00 will clear on 2024-04-01. You'll be able to cash out or send your funds at that time. In the meantime, you can buy, sell, and trade the funds on Coinbase. Thanks for your patience.
Coinbase : Your current hold for $975.00 will clear on 2024-04-06. You'll be able to cash out or send your funds at that time. In the meantime, you can buy, sell, and trade the funds on Coinbase. Thanks for your patience.
Me: we re April 28th please read again what you sent
Coinbase : Yes until the date you can't send , until the 6th
Me: we re April 28th this is 22 days in the past.
Coinbase: I am sorry I am sorry. This is may month, this is my mistake.
I m not sending the last experience today where I ve spend 1 hour asking them to show me where to check my ID verification status and they ve been unable to answer.

This is what my primary care doctor asked me last year when I went in to see her.
The way she asked it made it sound like it's just something that would come so easily and naturally to anyone, as if I could find a good date any weekend! But, I'll be 27 next month, and have only had one serious relationship that was back in college. I definitely want to find a partner, but I haven't found anyone I was mutually interested in or that stuck since I moved to a new city a little under 2 years ago.

• A year ago my close friend and crush at the time had told me he liked me too, but that we couldn't be in a relationship because he graduated with his PhD and was job searching and he would likely move (he did later move away)

-that same summer I went on a date with a guy I met over a dating app. I desperately wanted to feel a spark with him because on paper he seemed perfect, but no romantic feelings ever came and we were just fwb for a few months until he broke it off in after he met a friend of a friend he fell for.
-2 months ago I went to a speed dating event and did meet a guy I clicked with, we hung out a few more times and he expressed interest in me, but I didn't feel the same spark.
I'm so tired of apps. I'd much rather meet someone organically. I work from home, but I have lots of hobbies and yet haven't found anyone through those or through friends of friends. It's just starting to feel like it may never happen, and I wonder if I'm just not built to find someone? I've almost never felt butterflies for anyone after interacting with them just once or twice, and I don't want to force it. Feelings for people have always just emerged for me gradually, and I hate dating apps because it's so much of my time to go on multiple dates with one person just to never feel any spark grow.
TLDR: Does dating come easily or naturally to you? How do I meet someone organically when I still haven't found a connection through friends or hobbies these past 1.5 years? Am I broken/doomed?

Hi everyone, hope someone can shed some light on this. I wanted to buy direct tickets from Paris to Amsterdam for saturday 28th September. I waited patiently until the September tickets were released and now that they're available for the entire month, I see that there aren't any for the date/weekend I need them 🥲 I don't mean that their cheapest tickets are gone, I mean that there are absolutely no direct tickets available for that weekend at all.
Has anybody experienced anything like this? An entire month completely available except for one specific weekend? My only option now seems to be to take the eurostar to Brussels and then change to a regular (non high speed) train to Amsterdam which adds almost an hour of travel and about 30 euros per person; so I want to know first if there's anything I can do about this, before taking what it feels like a downgrade.

I am making a word game. During the play I save to local storage - to save the game state - as they play (lists of letters, words, positions etc.) Once the game is over I save it to history (the score, a list of words, the date...)
I have a bug which is triggered by certain game states and makes the in-game saving really slow - ie 10 seconds to save game state. I haven't debugged it yet, I may well be doing something dumb like trying to save a zillion things...
But, in starting to prepare for debugging this I encountered: 'react-native-mmkv' - which looked attractive. I have been using '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage'. The speed of MMKV sounds very appealing at this minute - but then I read this thread: https://github.com/mrousavy/react-native-mmkv/issues/440 In which people say each time you write to a key it simple appends it and keeps the original. Perhaps there is a work-around, I can't tell. But people also insisted that MMKV is not to be used as a DB.
I think I may store around 500kb - 2mb per year, but only if I am not adding to the storage with every repeat save to a key. If the game has any traction I may switch to a centralized DB - but not for v1.0
Is RN MMKV a viable option for me - or would you stay with AsyncStorage?
