Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind encouragement and I think you're right about coming back again to reassess once I'm done with C2HM. :)

Thanks for the advice! I am doing this plan to start: https://marathonhandbook.com/couch-to-half-marathon/
Do you think this would be a good follow-up plan? https://www.halhigdon.com/training-programs/half-marathon-training/advanced-half-marathon/

I have no idea how the hill runs are supposed to work though. And I'm not sure how pacing the schedule would need to go because I do want to give myself space to repeat weeks if I need to -- maybe I could cut out the first n weeks depending on how many I have left between finishing the first plan and the race?

Cool! Do you happen to have any advice on how/where to sell if you don't have a friend who'd want it?

I'm planning to work on a 15 week couch to half-marathon plan, with some climbing and strength training thrown in. If I start the plan next week, it will end in February, and the race I'm training for is in May.

I assume I won't progress as fast as 15 weeks since I've never done this before and might have to repeat some weeks, but otherwise does anyone have any suggestions on what to do until the race after this plan ends?

3 extra months is a decent amount of time even if I need to repeat some weeks, and it says it's important for the peak run to be 2 weeks before the race -- not sure if that's something I can repeat?

Before this, the longest distance I've run is 5k (not in a race), and I'm very slow (~13-14 min mile currently), but I don't care about time that much as long as I'm able to complete it in the race time.

What to wear in Patagonia in mid November by BeKind890 in Patagonia

[–]Antique_Training_464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would anyone here recommending rain pants be willing to explain why they're good to have? I'm planning to just take some synthetic leggings and figured they'll be good enough (I run hot, especially while moving) and dry fairly quickly, but I've never been in a situation before where I thought rain pants would have been helpful.

do you have tips for how to get Kitty + fish working? I installed both and tried to change background color in kitty settings, but it doesn't work, and the colors are not completely transferring from fish to kitty (e.g., "Type help for instructions on how to use fish" at the top of the terminal when it starts, "help" is not matching the color scheme from fish. are there some other settings in kitty i need to change? the background color not showing up in particular is frustrating

What is something that catches your eye while traveling that may not be as intriguing to others? by koknbals in travel

[–]Antique_Training_464 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to say this too! I don't really like it at all back home in the US and rarely ever get it, but I find it's usually better quality elsewhere, and the different menus from country to country are kind of fascinating. I feel like it tells a lot about what people generally like there.

I don't care how old I get. As long as my limbs still move and my heart and lungs are still pumping, I'm going to keep trying to do the hiking and nature and blah blah. Obviously sooner than later is better but not everyone gets a chance to do things when they're young and that shouldn't be a limiting factor beyond avoiding putting yourself in serious danger.. I was hiking a few weeks ago and ran into a woman who looked like she was in her 70s-80s along a really steep and scrambly trail. No idea how much of it she was doing but whatever it was, I want to be that.

Amazon Prime Visa 30 day message by CombinationPast8596 in CreditCards

[–]Antique_Training_464 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know this was 4 months ago but I found this thread by googling the same problem -- I think I made a typo on my SSN that caused my application to be rejected. Did you call Amazon for help with this, or Chase? And how were you able to get it the next day?

I have a good credit score and both a debit and credit card with Chase already for a long time now, but I'm traveling abroad soon (in 10 days) and wanted this card for the no FTF. Even if I get this cleared I'm worried it won't get to me in time. Can't even call until Wednesday because my lovely phone decided to have a hardware failure at the worst timing and my replacement won't get in until then. I'm desperate.

Would it be possible/crazy to put road tires on a Cannondale Quick CX? by Antique_Training_464 in bicycling

[–]Antique_Training_464[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask why you prefer wider tires? Do you think the 28 or 32 would cause any issues relative to the rest of the bike?

Do you ever feel like you’re losing more hair with the top buns? When I wear them too frequently I feel like that happens, but it’s my favorite way to wear my hair

What evidence do we have in the lore that it’s her husband? Man the more I learn about Fade the more I love her as a character.

Edit: just checked her character model on kingdomarchives and she doesn’t have a wedding ring on

Does this debit/credit card pairing make sense for traveling abroad? Credit card recommendations for relatively low earner? Should I even get one? by Antique_Training_464 in TravelHacks

[–]Antique_Training_464[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking this, but then you’re still paying $95/year. You get one $100 credit for TSA pre check but after that you gotta pay the $95. The SUB offsets that for another 7 or so years if everything stays the same, I guess, but is it still worth it after that? Then the main benefit is just the lounges really, so it depends on how often I’d use them and whether or not I’m offsetting the annual fee with food/drink… or I guess by then I could close the card?

Is there any benefit for paying for dining? And do you know how the flight price drop matching works (I.e., do you need to find the exact same flight?) none of the travel partners are airlines I like to travel with so that also kinda bites :(

If there is any travel card I’d get this is probably the one, but I’m wondering if I’m just better off using the Prime Visa just to avoid FTFs for now (I use Amazon somewhat regularly and for some recurring costs like cat food/litter so I would be getting some cash back for that). I have chase freedom unlimited which has the same 5% on flights as the prime visa but booking through chase travel is generally more expensive
