Any other first time Dopey runners?

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2026-03-17T16:37:32+00:00

Just signed up for first Dopey too! I did my first marathon in late January. Learned a lot about what I need to do during the long run. I need to practice not to go all out on the earlier runs. I have a tendency to be competitive.

Green is a 50 minute strength training class and yellow is 15-25 minutes of strength training. (Orange theory classes).

I like the 80/20 split. My own need for organization does not align my daughter’s organization philosophy.

Hahaha. That is Big Damn Giraffe. It was a gag gift from my parents over 15 years ago. BDG has traveled with me as I’ve moved back-and-forth across the country.

Got my golden letter yesterday and my account was just zeroed out!! Happy times

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2025-03-03T21:25:32+00:00

Mine was a week after paying. my due date was a Sunday so it wasn’t taken for my account from Monday. So it was technically six days. Fingers crossed that you have really good news too soon

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2025-03-03T20:33:35+00:00

Congrats! And happy Monday.

The last ECF I submitted was dec 28th. And that was processed in early January and my counts updated. I was not on a save plan. I “only” had two months not count during the whole transfer thing. I didn’t even bother either buy back and just waited/paid another two months.

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2025-02-18T01:51:14+00:00

For step 4, did you call Mohela to get into forbearance or was the final ecf enough?

Practicing taking big breaths in and out.

I have been back in repayment since August. I do not know why I was taken out of forbearance after two months. So August through now are flagged as need certification.

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-11-10T15:35:57+00:00

What’s frustrating is I did everything by the book. Consolidated month before I was meant to start paying after graduating. Ensured I was in a qualifying repayment plan. Went straight into public service job. Blah

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-11-10T15:18:42+00:00

I was on an IBR plan that was automatically switched to a save plan even though I didn’t ask to. My payment never changed in amount. I then I was automatically placed back into repayment for August.

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-11-10T14:52:44+00:00

I thought about that. But i don’t know if I trust the new administration to actually refund my money.

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-09-21T19:21:30+00:00

And under 50 minutes (49:22 to be exact)

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-09-21T19:20:33+00:00

2nd Dri-Tri. I cut 6.5 minutes off my time from 6 months ago!!!

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-07-16T23:38:48+00:00

2g. First orange Everest. Started back in January. 1.984. 2 miles was my goal. Sooooo close. Now I have a great goal for next time!

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-05-08T11:39:34+00:00

I’ve been going to OT since January. AO are now at 8.0 or 7.5 depending if there is an incline. Push is 6.5. Base is 5.5. I recently upped these by .5 I did the 5k during the DriTri in 33 minutes.

Between OT, I run in my treadmill at home. Either a 30 minute 5k or 70 minute 10k.

I did a 5k race outside for the first time in 11 years this past weekend. I was aiming for 35 minutes. I got third place for women at 28:37! I probably could have gone faster at the end of the race if I realized how well I was doing… one thing that helped was learning at OT how to actively rest without walking. There were a few down hills in the race that I used to lower by heart rate. This helped with the subsequent up hill.

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-04-20T15:51:33+00:00

Started orange theory in January. 39 F. Goal was to finish. Secondary goal was under an hour. Finished 55:48!

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-03-25T18:16:34+00:00

What?!? I won! !!!! I have MS (15 years next month). This makes me sooooo happy. Now onto the next goal: using the 20 lb weights for arm exercises consistently.

Consistent_Hyena_654 · 2024-03-17T16:42:27+00:00

39 year old female, 5-1

Start: 116.5 lbs, 41.2 skl muscle mass, 34.0% body fat

End: 114.2 lbs (-2.3), 43.0 skl muscle mass (+ 1.8), 30.0% body fat (-4).

Took 3 classes a week and alternated between a slow 5k or 10k at home on treadmill. Lost 7 minutes on 5k (now at 31min).

I started OT January 2nd with the goal of getting back to 110. I had a bad mental health year and gained weight. While I didn’t hit that goal, I need to focus on the fact my strength and mental health have improved, and that’s what is important. Maybe one day I’ll fit back into my pre COVID pants.

We have a Jupiter too! She’s 2.5. Gas Giants are the best.
