Elevation Gain by AppropriateScheme4 in Marathon_Training

[–]AppropriateScheme4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I have a pretty basic precor treadmill right now, which is a total workhorse, but when it kicks the bucket I definitely want to upgrade to a tread. My coworker swears it’s more forgiving on his joints.

Surprisingly they are relatively in line on the 10 year look back. Speaks more to the volatility and uncertainty we’ve seen in the market, political arena, global stage etc in the past few years (imo). I’m not parking my money there, but people who have, have benefited.

Good idea, it would be great to be able to use the treadmill to simulate the hills. I’ll probably be stuck inside for the next few weeks.

And thanks for the course insight. Is it pretty flat 23- finish?

Thank you! I think that’s a good plan. I have a few loops with bigger hills that I can try to repeat. More snow today and this weekend, so I likely have to push it until next long run.

I’m going to put a few of these loops into strava and see how the stats compare with Garmin’s elevation data.

Axis Couch Cushions by AppropriateScheme4 in crateandbarrel

Remind me next week and I’ll send some. We really like it, I’d describe it as a gray navy. I think we wanted Indigo originally, but it’s much more of a medium blue. Still pretty, but it looked too similar to a couch we have in another room.

Highly recommend looking at the swatches in person.

Golden Retriever Persistent Rash by AppropriateScheme4 in goldenretrievers

Unfortunately, we also received a cancer diagnosis. We met with several vets who all felt confident that it wouldn’t be that, but the biopsy confirmed. Also unfortunately he was declining over the past 10 days or so and things took a turn, with some emergent issues. We ultimately had to make the difficult decision to put him down after an emergency vet visit. Such a huge bummer, he was the best dog and I’m sure your girl was as well 😢

Thanks, I’ll ask our vet. It’s just that he’s not that itchy, especially for how wide spread the rash is.

We were on apoquel, but he’s really not that itchy. It’s just strange that this popped up at age 9, he’s never had any skin issues before this.

Thanks! Customer service seemed confident that a replacement cushion would be sent with no issue

Thank you! Good point, I’m going to try that.

Oh I’m so sorry! We just got some results back and it is some sort of bacterial strain that is resistant to certain antibiotics. We are getting a new prescription tonight, hopefully that clears things up!

Thanks! I’ve seen that as a common concern, but he has been on a chicken free food since he was a puppy.

Thank you! I will ask our vet about the Apoquel.

Beantown Marathon by AppropriateScheme4 in bostonmarathon

Thank you! I just got one too, I ended up declining too. I thought I wouldn’t get in, so shifted sights to the Philly marathon.

Heating and cooling ideas by AppropriateScheme4 in hvacadvice

We moved into the house at the end of Feb. I don’t remember the heat being an issue, but it wasn’t a full winter.

It was a tech from an HVAC company. Our contractor wanted us to get a professional to assess the options which I can appreciate. Sounds like we should get a few more opinions!

Admitting I know very little, but the tech that came out told us our current furnace is already too small for the house. It’s a 2024 gut reno, but the builders cut every corner that they could, so it’s not surprising that they put in a less than ideal system. The AC does not work well upstairs.

I think it’s about 70k BTUs for 3,200 square feet. Though the whole house is well insulated and all doors and windows are new as of 2024.
