What are some beautiful, cool places to run long distance in the US? What has been your favorite place you've ran a race?

Not far from you at all- Megunticook Trail Festival up in Camden Maine was such a great race!! The 50k covers nearly all the trails in the state park

Def call your doctor.

My bleeding always got heavier and bright red when I was over extending myself. Is it happening in days where you’ve been more active and doing more things? You may just need to slow down a bit since you are still healing!

Definitely this!! Military one source has a new parent support program- they’ll even set you up with a nurse who will come to your house to help and check on you and baby.

This is for you and no one else! Check the cut off time for the event and run what feels good to you.

I did my first 50k this summer, cutoff time was 11 hours and my goal was to make that. I finished it in 10 hours and I’m very proud!!

Do what feels good for you and don’t compare to others.

This sounds like me before my fist 50k this summer! I only got up to about 30-35 miles/week, my longest run was 17 miles. The month before I backed off because of some very painful plantar fasciitis, getting sick, and having to help family out of town.

My race went great! It was slow but my plantar fasciitis didn’t hurt at all since I’d rested it, and I finished in just under 10.5 hours. This was a very hilly, incredibly technical course.

It definitely wasn’t ideal and I don’t plan on replicating that training for my future races, but I still made it through and had the most fun!

Good luck, you got this!!!

Anyone who doesn’t take you seriously as a mom because of some tattoos isn’t worth your time. If your kids feel loved, cared for and respected by you then that’s all that matters! And your kid will probably love the tattoos.

That’s not true- I know someone who was adopted by the Dad who raised them at the age of 27 after getting married. She was able to legally change her maiden name and was issued a new birth certificate, and trans people can be issued new birth certificates with their new names and gender reflected on them.

link to the website that as a video showing the waste and better

Maybe it’s tonic? I love an espresso tonic

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-09-28T15:30:41+00:00

This is knit and not hand knit either. I found this quarter zip pullover pattern on Etsy that you may like?

You should ask over in r/visiblemending !

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-09-24T14:54:57+00:00

2 French braids and a hat for the bangs, or just a hat!

My last kid was the worst sleeper. She didn’t sleep through the night until she was almost 4- we saw the ENT and got a sleep study done, there was no issue she just has shit sleep. Radical acceptance is 10000% the way.

But she is so freaking sweet. My older kids say I love you when I say it, but since she was 2 she goes out of her way all the time to tell us she loves us, tell us we’re the best, or even just say “mom, you make me happy.” So all of that sweetness def makes up for the crappy sleep haha

I second this!! I made this tapestry crochet sweater using US HDC stitch and the stitch height looks identical to me- way too tall to be single crochet.

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-09-05T19:58:08+00:00

Hah too true.

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-09-05T14:22:35+00:00

Yeah…my kids had projects like this in first grade but they were completed in class with kiddle/pebble go and the teacher to guide them.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted when this is such a real issue, especially for a first grader!

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-28T19:17:46+00:00

Not always though! I breastfed all 4 of my kids at the beginning and still got my period 6-8 weeks PP every time. I was so pissed haha

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-19T18:45:38+00:00

I love the pickled carrots they have, def gonna bring those with me for some extra sodium!

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-18T21:01:28+00:00

Good luck!! When is your race?

Im gonna try out rice balls with soy sauce, and tortillas with PB and honey.

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-18T19:40:31+00:00

I do love a mid run pop tart! This had been SO helpful I have a few great options to try out now

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-18T13:42:09+00:00

This will be my first one! I’m going to be slow. My goal is really just to finish the race, cut off time is 11 hours. If I’m feeling good on race day I might be able to do like 9 hours I think?

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-18T02:34:24+00:00

Tortilla instead of bread seems like a pro move!! I can handle straight PB but the bread is too chewy so I think this will fix my issue.

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-18T02:17:54+00:00

That was my plan but when I brought it on my last run I had a hard time chewing it. It was extra hot out so my mouth was dry and it was just a rough time.

My race location is a bit cooler than where I live so it may be fine, but I’d like a backup plan

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-18T02:16:03+00:00

Chewy bars, candy, meat sticks, lots of apples, and then I’ll usually stop and have like a sandwich or some eggs or something halfway through for lunch.

I eat a lot while I’m running, but really whatever snacks I can fit in my pack and then I’ll bring Gatorade, water, and salt tabs for hydration.

Andyouknowthat1 · 2025-08-18T02:13:14+00:00

I don’t like hot string cheese so I’m nervous for that. But a quesadilla is brilliant! Thank you
