I don't know how anyone can watch TV while treadmill running. Makes me dizzy.
I can watch certain things while running on a treadmill - light and fluffy. Anything super in depth or serious I can't.

Preach!Okay. Let's just get this straight.
There is a thing called soda (or pop of you're from the midwest). Coke is a type of soda.
Kleenex is a type of tissue.
Here's an analogy we can all understand:
All marathons are races, but not all races are marathons. (Here the Coke is the marathon and races are sodas)
If your locality doesn't understand this, feel free to correct everyone you know when they ask for a Coke and mean something other than Coke.

https://www.disboards.com/threads/pop-century-room-renovations.3573071/Anyone here knows which century at Pop have been completed? I'm trying to make my room request online and i am given the options of 50's, 60's, and 70's. We are staying in a preferred room if that helps.
Have those of you who don't run with headphones due to safety concerns seen the Aftershokz Trekz Titanium and Trekz Air headphones? They use bone conduction technology to transmit sound through your cheekbones and sit in front of the ear, leaving it free to hear your surroundings. These were a game changer for me and especially welcome as I hate having earbuds stuck down into my ear canals. Not trying to convert anyone over who's not interested, but if you would like to be able to listen to things during running but were concerned about compromising your safety I think this design offers the best of both worlds. They also work great with glasses and sunglasses, too. BTW, that's not me in the picture. I've got more hair and don't look nearly so good...
I REALLY want some of these, so currently budgeting them in. But they aren't top priority as I also want a Garmin.Have those of you who don't run with headphones due to safety concerns seen the Aftershokz Trekz Titanium and Trekz Air headphones?

Thank you! This is probably my favorite weekend of the year. Training has been rough this go around and I had to improvise with a butt load of cross training. I know I won't be hitting last year's time, but I am going to give all I have. The weather looks less than ideal. Rain, cold, and wind. This is how it was in 2015 and it was miserable. Crowds will still be out, but a little thinner. I was on BAA website last night and saw this:This weekend and Monday, we have the following folks with races!!!!!

ATTQOTD: MUSIC - ALL THE MUSIC!!! My running playlist is nearing 2,000 songs and I set it to random shuffle most of the time. Sometimes I'll do "album runs" where I take the opportunity to listen to an album in its entirety. Running is the only time I have to listen to music uninterrupted, which is one of the greatest pleasures I have in life.QOTD: Music or no music while running? (music could be pod cast or something similar)
I didn't even know there were different types for a long time, lol! It was A&W or nothing when/where I grew up. Maybe a store brand, too? I haven't had a root beer since I was a kid. But now I'm suddenly craving a Verners, which I also haven't had in ages, and which is not at all like root beer...BONUS QUESTION: Continuing with the beverage discussion: Favorite type of Root Beer?

What! Not this part of New England! Everything is soda... pronounced "so-der" of course. My grandparents used to call everything tonic, though, but that is definitely an older generation thing.

Can anyone spot me in the pic? I know it's hard when you don't know someone IRL!
