Hi guys,

Wanted a cheap watch to monitor my running distance and pace without having to pull my phone out during run sessions.

I haven't tried it yet, but before I do, I am wondering if others have been able to get this watch to communicate data with Strava in different ways.

The only bridge method I read about so far was HBAND > Health Connect > Strava but the Health Connect app does not offer HBAND as a source app so it leaves this method undoable.

Also unsure how "Google Fit" could pick up on this watch or not.

Have others been able to use something else than HBAND with this watch directly?

As a possible acceptable workaround, I was thinking of having the watch simultaneously log on HBAND giving me info on the watch while my phone simultaneously keeps track on Strava. Then I'd basically have two apps monitoring. Pondering whether I should return it for something more expensive that integrates easier or if there is an easy workaround to get it to integrate in other software.

Thanks!

As a guy from Canada wanting to buy tickets for a show in Boston at the MGM are there more "direct" ways to buy tickets than going through all these "ticket resellers"?

Vivid Seats, Gotickets... etc. is not possible to just buy the ticket directly from the music hall, or am I too old school?

The prices seem to be manipulated and vary daily.

Also for those who have been to the MGM Fenway in Boston, does the "GA Floor" experience justify the higher price rather than a section like 209 or something pretty close, but cheaper?

Thanks a lot !

Hey guys,

This post is meant to be cathartic at minimum, but may offer some insight at best. Comments welcome as always!

Summary of the relationship: Dated a year, took about 6 months to get official we were really taking our time. She was very reserved and slow at moving forward but I decided to be patient and let her come at her own pace (mostly). It ended up becoming official, we had some minor downs, relationship was generally comfortable and soothing at times but also had a very monotonous/stagnating feeling at some levels. It lacked depth and being reserved she did not very often share much of her thoughts although she ended up being much more of an overthinker than I initially thought. She really liked to keep good proportion of alone time, the more we discussed her past stories she had a complicated parenting situation, had lost some close friends recently from diverging views and changes in lifetsyles, suffered a painful breakup. I understand with the very little she told me, that she also had recently experienced some bumpy complicated/toxic/situationships with a guy or so that took advantage of her caring and trusting nature. This seems to have played against her ability to bond with me genuinely and I always felt she was always half-in and scared to commit. Things like ‘I wanted to say I love you but was scared it wouldn’t be said back’ kind of stuff... This slowly took a toll as the relationship felt like it wasn't progressing.

Progressively I started exhibiting discontent with our situation and I think she perceived this as a possibility I may initiate the breakup first soon and I feel like she expedited doing it first to avoid being the one dumped. During the whole conversation when we broke up she loosened up after a while and starting admitting she still had doubts and would possibly regret it later. It felt like a rushed decision that wasn't really thought through and I feel like me confirming it was the best path forward basically confirmed her fear and its kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy in a way because I would have stuck it out a while longer...

At 55 days, even though it felt like a logical thing to do in our situation, I still think about her often, the confusion still lingers, you still get the "What ifs", some mornings, some nights I feel like I want to reach out and ask her how she is. I also wonder why she hasn't reached out either, she's been extremely quiet on social media absolutely no posting, no new followers nothing... Being confused means its still unclear whether its a yes or a no and then I realize that contact would only risk us starting a new cycle, or maybe she's dating someone already, or maybe it'll confuse her in her healing and there's too much risk for an undesirable outcome compared to the advantages of establishing contact. Sometimes I wonder if she thinks my silence means I don't care, so it would justify at least being on platonic terms and then, I think what's the hurry? If that ever happens, it can be later. During NC my uncle recently passed at like 35 days into NC. I imagine she saw my Facebook post but she didn't even offer any condolences public or private. I found this a little hurtful as she had met this uncle and new he was sick, maybe she preferred not to break NC. I guess we can only speculate what her complete no contact really means...

Any one else ever experience a situation like this?

PS : I'm running a 10km fundraiser run next weekend, saw her name on the list. Although we are 150 runners I wonder what my best approach is if we bump into each other. I think I'm a little worried how that interaction will play out.

Thanks for your comments !
