The Running Thread -- 2022

[GollyGadget]

there's fewer of you to judge my brain-moment here, so this is where I'm asking. DS1 snapped the inside part of the hinge on DS2's goodrs yesterday. So they're broken. Is this a warranty thing? Or does DS1 now owe his brother a pair of sunglasses? We're still well within the 1yr window.

If whatever DS1 was up to was beyond "normal use" it wouldn't typically be covered under warranty for any product. However, some companies just really want to keep their customers happy so I suggest contacting goodr to ask what your options are.

I recently found myself the owner of a new hydration belt because Nathan decided it be so. All I asked was how I could buy a replacement bottle because one of mine leaks and instead received a whole new belt. I was pleasantly surprised and it definitely created a loyalty to the brand that I didn't have previously.

Same thing happened with me and Nathan. One of my bottles split, and I asked them if I could get a new one (which in itself was dumb, because I had other bottles from a previous belt, but they changed the top and they are not backwards compatible). They sent me a whole new belt. I gave it to my SIL (and just bought new bottles--with yet another cap)

QOTD - What race have you run the most times?

I've run Peachtree Road Race 27 times.

 

[camaker]

ATTQOTD: I haven't been running nearly as long as many on here. My most run race is the WDW marathon at 6 times. It goes up to 7 if you consider the 2020 virtual-only race, but I don't typically include it.

 

[gosalyn_mallard]

ATTQOTD: I've been running since 2017. My most run race is RunDisney Wine and Dine challenge (4 times).

Honorable mention to my local donut 5k (3 times). I love running different races and experiencing new courses, so I have to really like a race to repeat it.

 

[Naomeri]

ATTQOTD: I haven’t run any race more than once yet

 

[OldSlowGoofyGuy]

ATTQOTD: It's been so many, I lost count. my bro and I have done 35-36 Peachtree Road Races. 2 virtuals. Never missed since we started.

Honorable mentions: 5 Rocket City Marathons. 4 Goofys.

 

[MissLiss279]

ATTQOTD:
I’ve just been running since 2014, so my most run races won’t be as much as some!

Route 66 Marathon- 7 times (includes one virtual marathon, 2022 still to come)

My local race (Prairie Fire) has fall and spring races - if I combined those numbers (and included both half and full races) then this one would probably win at 10 (7 halves, 3 fulls).

I don’t typically count virtual races in my numbers of marathons (or halves) run, but since I’m on a streak with this race and a virtual marathon is no joke (!!), I’m including it here. And I did some Strava Art with its logo, so it was fun.

ATTQOTD: Not much repeat. One tradition in becoming was the 5k at des Érables with DH and DD (2018 and 2019) but it has been postponed for three years. Next time we do it, we won’t run together, DD is too fast.

 

[Kerry1957]

ATTQOTD:
I've run the BIG10K in Chicago 5 times and the Wine & Dine HM 5 times. I will run each for the 6th time later this year.

 

[avondale]

ATTQOTD: I've been running since 2014, but I tend to want to try out different races so I don't usually run the same race more than once or twice. My most-repeated race is the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler at 3 times, with one being virtual during the pandemic.

 

[lookingforsunshine]

ATTQOTD: I have done the Ohio State Tri Fit Challenge (a triathlon) 3 times— every year since I moved to Ohio, minus 2020 & 2021 because of the pandemic. This year will be my fourth!

For running only, I have now done the MW half twice.

 

[Herding_Cats]

ATTQOTD:

Virtual princess 5k with a whopping 2.
But I pretty much started running a year and a half ago so

 

[NYC_MW]

ATTQOTD: Does cheering at multiple races count?
The only one I've run more than once is the NYC Half (2x). Second WDW MW half will hopefully be in 2023.

 

[WillRunForPizza]

Assuming you don't count cross-country races in high school (which I don't and I can't remember specifics anyway), the only race I've done more than once is the Rock and Roll Half in DC in 2021 and 2022. It's a fun one though.

 

[gosalyn_mallard]

QOTD - What race have you run the most times?

I am loving this QOTD as its giving me great ideas for future races!

 

[mtnmjd]

ATTQOD: The most of any race series I have done are Spartan Races with 20 in total, consisting of 9 Sprints, 6 Supers and 5 Beasts.
Non-OCR... Cow Harbor 10k 4x (great local 10k that draws professional runners from across the country)
and then a bunch of others tied at 3x including Walt Disney World Marathon

 

[The Expert]

ATTQOTD: I also tend to mix it up, but I've done my local marathon day 5K four times, and the Princess 5K and RnR Vegas Half 3 times each.

 

[jmasgat]

ATTQOTD: Disney Marathon, followed closely by/or tied with (too lazy to figure it out) Disney half. I don't race a lot and don't tend to repeat races.

The only other races I've run multiple times is the Martian 1/2 Marathon, which is close to me. And Boston.

 

[HangWithMerida]

QOTD - What race have you run the most times?

I also like to mix it up. I have done a few races twice but none more than that. Houston Aramco HM, W&D HM, Brazos Bend 50 - 10k, Rodeo Run 10k all run 2 times. Always on the lookout for a new race to try!
