why would the city schedule something so early in the day on a Sunday. Sundays are for sleeping

it's been going on for like 25 or 20 minutes so I guess I'm just. awake now

marathon

yeah, I learned it's on my block

idk why it's so early though

runners are weirdos

less runners and more what are the organizers thinking. that's a normal hour for people to be sleeping

7:45 is a pretty normal hour for marathons unfortunately

Technically it started at 6:55 am so you got an hour to sleep in

lol they were getting registered for it on friday when we were walking by the convention center. they were even in running clothes.

i will assume no one involved has actually slept for days, nothing but training and carbo loading

Also the average time for a marathon completion is 4ish hours and 30 minutes so 🤷🏻‍♀️

You’d want it when it’s earlier so many of the runners don’t overheat

it's November lol

I don't think overheating is a concern

You’d be surprised - my dad used to be a medical volunteer (retired doctor) at marathons during different seasons

And you would have so many runners (the regular pack) that had all sorts of issues from overheating to dehydration

It’s an endurance race and sometimes people are unprepared for the actual rigors

oh I know that, just weird to say have to start early so they don't overheat when it's 50 degrees out

in not saying they need to start at 2. like 9 is okay - people sleeping in on the weekends is a normal thing, and this is a noisy activity, apparently, so it feels inconsiderate to start it so early

it could just be me - I'm pretty self conscious when it comes to noises during normal seeping times for people, probably because I'm a very light sleeper - but the cheering was a very loud thing to wake up to, and it was incessant for like 30-45 minutes
