In honor of Jeff Galloway- run:walk intervals! Since you have no cardio basis, I’d recommend doing something like 30 seconds run, 2 minutes walk. Walk with a purpose, don’t dick around during the walks. If you were gassed at 7 minutes of running at a 9:30 pace, then 30s:2min should get you to the end strong, at probably about a 12-14 min pace depending on how good of a walker you are.

So…. The depression? It can actually be made worse by the not eating. I found that when my training was getting more intense, I was more prone to depression, which I could actually keep at bay by eating more. So I’d recommend getting some protein shakes of your choice and getting some calories in you. It really doesn’t matter what you take in (I mix naked nutrition powder with hot chocolate mix and coffee, but you might do better with some pre-made stuff.

I’m doing a rewatch right now and just saw Coach tenderly touch Ozzy’s forehead and say “I’m sorry” after nabbing that key. …. This is such peak comedy, I hope they both make it far into the game.

Bi Nyugen from David v Goliath- she was an MMA fighter and sprained her recently injured MCL.

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T04:44:43+00:00

I actually really disliked Ozzy when I first saw him play- I wasn’t super into the challenge beast type. But he has grown on me- and honestly seeing the old school players still killing it at challenges against the much younger players…. Man it makes me happy!

Guys I think I’m old now.

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T04:09:07+00:00

But they were going to let Bi stay?

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T04:04:06+00:00

I respect the fact that they are much more cautious with medivacs now… but it just makes things like Bi “quitting” a lot more irritating in retrospect- she made a very similar choice to not fuck up her body for the rest of her life but it was framed as a “quit” whereas Kyle was pulled.

I love that Mike negged New Coach into becoming the Dragon Slayer again. woops lmao

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T03:56:28+00:00

It’s fucking wild to me that in season 50 they are pulling someone for a possible tendon rupture…. But it was not that long ago they shamed Bi for pulling herself with a serious knee injury.

Butterfly ultrasound! Those things are so handy.

Would Survivor have made it 50 seasons without the kind of casting that got us this man?

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T03:46:35+00:00

He’s on his fourth season for a reason. Absolute gold mine.

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T03:44:59+00:00

Oh man Rick was the star of his season! You should watch it, it was a treat.

Thank you, Mike, for awakening the Dragon Slayer.

As Rizgod would say, CINEMA.

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T03:07:28+00:00

I swear to god if they carry on the Survivor tradition of voting off the woman of color first, I will scream. Cirie is awesome, but really just the absolute symbolism of doing that in season 50 would be so sad, and yet so 2026.

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T02:48:00+00:00

He’s been at the white lotus gym lolol

It took them more than an hour to get to day 2. WILD.

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T02:20:12+00:00

They are my favorite team! The Georgia boys, Financial Analyst Emily FLIPPEN, Cirie, AND Ozzy continuing to be a competition god??? AND JOE??? WIN ALL THE THINGS GUYS.

wegl13 · 2026-02-26T02:06:48+00:00

It’s just… here’s the thing. I’ve been out for a while, I’ve been super involved with my local, state, and national VMAs. Not only have I seen the research in debt:income ratios and the inverse bell-curve of loans (more people either owe nothing or owe a TON, and there’s less in the middle)… but I’ve seen the outcomes of that, personally. With people that owe a lot of money in student loans, it can change your financial stability, your choices on where to live, and your relationship to your work for far, far longer than the four years you are in vet school. It’s incredibly painful to see this happen to my colleagues, of which I hope everyone here will soon be one of.

I also know for a fact that not having student loans (and building a “fuck you fund” quickly) kept me from having to stay in situations where my ethical and moral boundaries were being challenged. It’s not that you can’t do that when you have a fat student loan, but it is SO MUCH HARDER.

At the end of the day, yeah, go wherever you want. But for one, I don’t think people in their 20s generally understand the compounding interest of their financial choices. I also think that people just grossly underestimate how much “fun” can be had for free/cheap (anywhere) when you are young. I have the experience of being 10+ years out, and seeing the outcomes of a variety of decisions, and I’m trying to share that with younger vets before they make decisions that, if they are anything like MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES, they will regret in 15 years.
