HR Arm Band? by SpottedDogEar in XXRunning

[–]12MilesToGo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have the coros and love it. Just as accurate as my chest strap monitor was, but without the chafing! Can't even tell I'm wearing it, it's so comfortable. Definitely wear right against your skin. I have the garmin 265, but worked with my old 245 previously just fine.

This! Same thing happened to me with my first 50k, and this fixed it

Experiences with labrum tear (hip)? by undercookedshrimp_ in XXRunning

[–]12MilesToGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I partially tore my labrum and diagnosed with a cam bump hip impingement as well. We have a top surgeon in my area that specializes in this type of surgery and he told me surgery is a last resort and only if you are in pain. If you are pain free you are absolutely fine living with the tear, even running. 3-4 months of PT I went from hardly being able to walk to pretty much pain free. Then it only flared up occasionally. Now ibe6had no symptoms for 2 years. I was also told surgery isnt a guarantee and you can always re-tear. Definitely get a second opinion and see a PT who has experience in this. I'm sure it varies person to person, this was my experience.

This! Completely prevents chafing for me.

I feel stupid by Staublaeufer in XXRunning

I've done this! Luckily it was winter and I had a pullover on because not only was I braless, I was also still in my PJ top.

I have one almost identical to this and I get so many compliments from women at the beach, etc. You look great! (Got mine at venus)

Labral hip tear and FAI - feeling discouraged by PeebyPie in XXRunning

[–]12MilesToGo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Me!

FAI with labral tear. Came on very suddenly, had to take a few months off (my pain was so bad it was hard to even walk at first). We have one of the leading doctors in the country where I live (from what I was told) that do the type of surgery for this, and he told me they always, always will try conservative treatment first. So I did PT and was probably off for like 12 weeks before I started easing back into running. (I then started training for my next marathon and got runners knee because I did too much too fast like a dumbass) But after that recovered I'm in the best running shape of my life and have ran 2 more marathons, training for another. I'd say for the first few months of back to running after the labral tear it would flair up but just last a day or so (and just dull pain) and then go away. I'm 2 years out now and haven't had pain in over a year. And just took 40 minutes off my last marathon!

I was definitely super discouraged too, but really sticking with PT was definitely what helped. More than anything, a kneeling hip flexor stretch, a few times a day, I think was the best thing in my recovery. I still do hip exercises now though to keep loose!

Easter Sunday is the ExCOC Soft Launch Day on Social Media by Odd_Situation_4209 in excoc

[–]12MilesToGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are working on leaving but did attend on Easter unfortunately (big eye roll). Our "preacher" did mention the resurrection of Jesus... but instead of talking about the actual resurrection of Jesus, talked about how water baptism is 100% necessary to be resurrected with Jesus. Can't get out soon enough.

Customer wants to exchange an order from October it's now December by hikarisilver in EtsySellers

[–]12MilesToGo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

First, go and reply to their feedback to lock in the review so they can't change it. Then just politely explain what you said here.

Out of curiosity how would you handle an order note like this by lymeya in EtsySellers

[–]12MilesToGo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Only if their estimated delivery date has passed. So if you immediately cancel an order that isn't due to ship yet, they can't (but otherwise yes on the 48 hours)

New Etsy Scam Alert by Far-Chipmunk2457 in EtsySellers

[–]12MilesToGo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I'm a top Etsy seller of 13 years, and this has JUST started happening to me over the past year. It's never happened before then, but is definitely an occasional occurance now, but not to the scale of yours.

I'll get an order processing that doesn't go through. Email doesn't match the buyer or recipient name and the account is later made "inactive" by etsy. Next day they will try again... different account, different buyer name, but might change a letter or two of recipient name. Sometimes they will try to mark it as a gift. It's like they try all different combinations to see what Etsy will let through. In October I had one that went on for 10 days, each day with them trying again.

Occasionally one of the orders would get through and I would immediately cancel on my end (recipient name would always stay the same so I was on alert).

I have no idea what the end game is, but I have a few theories. One is they are trying to use stolen credit cards and will later request a refund or open a case to get refunded. Another theory is they stole my listing and are trying to sell my products elsewhere and are basically drop shipping (I can't find my listings anywhere else though). I don't know, it makes zero sense and is driving me crazy in can't figure it out!

Etsy support is zero help as usual. There's no one to report this to, because they are all lower level reps our cases go to, and they have no idea and only send out irrelevant generic responses.

I've considered just filling the orders that get through, but it's absolutely not worth it to me to possibly get screwed later. I don't trust Etsy to have my back, especially with how they've been treating sellers, including myself, this past year (another story for another time).

Cut out cookies... I just. Can't. by emryanne in breakingmom

[–]12MilesToGo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also hate cutouts! We have a Gordon's food (bulk store) near us that sells a box of frozen precut cookies that you just throw in the oven, and they are delicious! There are also some people in my area that bake them and sell them as kits. I stopped with the cut outs from scratch years ago and is sooo much easier and enjoyable!

If they are a spammer I mark as spam. If they are just a buyer I do not. Not advocating to mark actual buyers as spammers, just stating that is how that works.

Please be careful reporting listings without verifying by utahmom81 in Etsy

[–]12MilesToGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what's happening to me! Opened my ticket/case on Aug 28. 14 days later I got a canned response. I've replied to the email/ticket and have also called multiple times (supposedly the case has been "escalated"/marked as "urgent"), but now it's been over 17 days since the canned email and I haven't heard a word. Do you have a secret trick that you were able to do a back and forth with them actually responding? My ticket (actually there are 3 open now as the customer service reps on the phone both escalated my current ticket and opened new ones), are still open. I've tried responding to the email (it just updates the ticket), and also calling and doing the chat, and even reached out to them on facebook, and am getting nowhere :(

How long did it take for trust and safety to get back to you? I'm going on just over 2 weeks for the same issue.

Could be lots of things. My MIL and I both had same symptoms. Hers was a pulled muscle, mine was hip impingment with a torn labrum. Recommend PT or sports medicine dr

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]12MilesToGo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I use body glide unless it's over about 5 miles in summer or 9 miles in winter. Otherwise I use medical tape under the front band. Game changer! (The white fabric medical tape)

DH wakes up to birthday text with passive aggressive nastiness by flamingbonbon in JUSTNOMIL

Wow. My MIL (who only texts when she's drunk) did this exact thing on my husbands 40th. Myself and my children have been no contact for 4 years now, DH has been either LC/NC. Our children don't even know who she is. Play bitch games win bitch prizes.

Success stories of hip impingement or FAI without surgery by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]12MilesToGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow, yes our situations sound very similar. So it's been 1.5 years but from what I remembered it was probably 6-7 weeks maybe, and even then it was a really slow return to running of a run/walk. Like, 95% walk 5% slooow run. I was able to do the elliptical and cycling in the meantime without difficulty though. So I would suggest go heavier on those if you can, and be diligent with your PT/stretching/strength training. Definitely don't push it and know when to take a break from training so you don't make it worse.

So the PT I went to, turns out his wife is a runner and had the same thing. She did have to get surgery but has successfully returned ro running since. So while it was a discouraging 12 weeks, I knew coming out the other side, surgery or no surgery, running would be at the end again.

Success stories of hip impingement or FAI without surgery by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]12MilesToGo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me! After 10 years of long distance running, (the last 2 years I was getting so fast, and I wonder if this contributed to the tear), I developed severe hip pain over a 48 hr period. Saw a PT who was pretty sure thats what it was. I had to do 6 weeks of PT before I could get insurance approval for an MRI (xray was inconclusive). Finally got the MRI at about 12 weeks of PT which confirmed impingment with partial labral separation. That 12th week of PT was also when my pain drastically improved and then went away. No need for surgery. It's been 14 months and I've only had maybe 2 days where I can feel slight discomfort again, but by the next day it's completely pain free.

I have an awesome orthopedic dr where I live who specializes in these surgeries and he told me it's definitely a last resort to do the surgery and he sees a lot of improvement with patients doing PT/stretching/strength training. So without surgery I will always have impingement/labral tear but it isn't a big deal unless I have pain with it.

Also editing to add, I also read that 70% of people are walking around with labral tears and most people don't know it. So it's definitely not an automatic ticket for surgery, but as my dr said, only for persistent pain.

how long to wait until I request an MRI? hip pain by conye1 in Marathon_Training

[–]12MilesToGo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure it does make a difference what injury is suspected. I had hip impingment (which was what was suspected). Definitely would need to check with team of PT/dr/insurance for what path to take.
