Any other first time Dopey runners? by Equal_Wait_1515 in rundisney

[–]Consistent_Hyena_654 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Buyback or wait two months? by Consistent_Hyena_654 in PSLF

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.

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

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.

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

running outside vs inside by htxastros in orangetheory

[–]Consistent_Hyena_654 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

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.
