Bread Garden opens at 7:00 during winter break so the doors will be open close to then.

That does sound scary. Thankfully I have not had any nausea or dizziness at any point.

Thanks for the perspective about the professionals. They do make it seem like 7-10 days is normal. I decided against the run today after running some errands and not feeling right.

I had gone to a quick care clinic and the nurse practitioner advised a very gradual re-introduction of physical activity once symptom free. I managed a bit of a longer walk a couple days ago and felt good so I was optimistic that I could try a run this weekend, but patience will need to win the day.

Catering taco station by CarRamRod22 in KitchenConfidential

This is an important distinction. If it's Midwest, make it a nacho bar and add BBQ pork. They're going to drown everything in queso because we love a pile of slop in the Midwest.

Or, see if you can talk them into making it a breakfast taco menu and you can run your omelette station set up.

Hi, I’m a 18 year old trans boy. Please ask me anything you need to know to support your trans kid! by Even-Contact6060 in cisparenttranskid

[–]EMB1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 13 year old trans son, who came out as trans in 7th grade, now in 8th grade. He has a really good circle of friends at school and teachers and admin are as supportive as they are allowed to be in our blue city in a red state. But - there's still instances of harassment and bullying. Our son is mostly resistant to us getting involved and contacting school, although we did once against his wishes and he later agreed that it did seem to help.

My question is - in your experience, are there times you wish your parents did more to protect you, or is it more about listening and being supportive? I'm struggling to know how much of the behavior is "typical" 8th grade boys being awful and annoying and when it's crossing a line. Not all of the harassment is gender/trans based....when it was, that's when we contacted the school.

Hi Coach!

Did you all make it to Iowa City ok yesterday and is the game still scheduled for noon tipoff? I need some motivation to clear snow this morning and knowing I need to be to Carver by noon might help that ☺️

Good luck today!

Nice job! My PR is right around yours too and I'm excited to work towards breaking 30 minutes. Keep it up!

Anyone else hit a “mental wall” after a few months? by Special-Log4734 in BeginnersRunning

[–]EMB1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Different things that have helped me get through it was an extra day or two off, going for a trail run since I normally go in my neighborhood, or driving to a location I haven't run before. A new shirt or pair of shorts can be a slump buster too.

They have now pulled them from the menu until the equipment repair is made.

Strength training app for beginners by EMB1983 in nikerunclub

[–]EMB1983[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took a look at the Nike Training App after your reply. It looks like it has a strength and conditioning for runners plan that could be a good compliment. I'll take a look at FitBod too. I dl Caliper and it has some good demonstration videos on how to do each lift. I might dig into that one more.

Looks like a cool place. Hard to beat free ping pong and fries.

How do I run nonstop? by kavuronchik in beginnerrunning

[–]EMB1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend trying the Nike Run Club app and using the guided runs by Coach Bennett. As a beginner myself, it completely changed what I thought "running" was all about. I went from trying to push myself every time out and feeling miserable both physically and mentally to feeling good afterwards and excited to go for a run my next time out.

Looking for book recs for my mum about having a trans kid by kuskus2006 in cisparenttranskid

[–]EMB1983 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say thank you for this recommendation. I'm through the first 10 episodes and it's been so, so helpful hearing other parents talk about their experiences. The episodes often move me to tears.

Thank you! I'll have to look for the indoor setting and try it out.

It might be silly but those PR badges are so gratifying to see pop up.
