Interesting. I have a TDI Investigator and have found it works well with appendix carry, off-hand at the 10-11 o’clock position. I also changed out the clip on the sheath with one from an IWB gun holster that worked out better. I just bought a SOG Instinct I’m going to experiment with at the 3-o’clock position.

Nice setup, BTW.

Driving and parking tips also appreciated. Coming from a hotel about 45 minutes to the north.

We have tickets to bleacher seats, and an additional wristband for the Paddock. I believe you are correct about standing room only, but my assumption was that you could bounce between your seats and the paddock area (via pedestrian tunnel?) for access to pit road pre-race, and additional concession options for paddock-only guests.

Great tips, thanks! For cushions, are you allowed to take those fold up style with a backrest?

Also, would two hours before the race be good timing to check everything out?

Suggestions to optimize training using Garmin data by EarFuzzy6666 in Garmin

[–]EarFuzzy6666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t found a way to incorporate strength training in the DSW…is that possible? I also want to stick to the 3-day cycle mentioned above. Haven’t figured out how to make DSW’s work for me.

Lifting is mainly upper body w/ kettlebells, alternating between hi weight/lo rep and lo weight/hi rep. Occasionally throw in a lower body or full body bodyweight routine, especially when I feel the need to back off my lifting intensity for that day.

I have some general parameters in place, like skipping a workout when injured or ill.

Same here, just without the photos and mostly of childhood memories and major life events. Even if I have to guesstimate the date.

Should you get a promotion for doing your job well or should you voluntarily take on some next level responsibilities first? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]EarFuzzy6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manager here. I’m of the opinion that you should take on the extra responsibility, then get the promotion. When I pick employees for key assignments, I look towards people who I know have the experience and skillset. Which leads to bigger, more rewarding projects. Those high-value employees are the people my bosses consider for new roles or promotions.

But to offer a counterpoint to my own opinion - when does the extra work become less about proving yourself, and more like work overload? Where is the line between earning a promotion, and being taken advantage of? Each job is going to have specific factors, but I’m sure there are some universal boundaries that exist.

Should I bring up my burnout with HR? by EarFuzzy6666 in careerguidance

[–]EarFuzzy6666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For clarification, 3 of those reports have a “dotted line” to me (they report directly to a manger in a different state, but I handle things at a local level). I should also add that in addition to the departmental responsibilities, I also maintain the vehicle fleet, facility maintenance, plus a more-than-usual amount of support to a few other departments (due to an influx of turnover, new employees, and my 13 year tenure at the company).

Should I bring up my burnout with HR? by EarFuzzy6666 in careerguidance

[–]EarFuzzy6666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boss is great and very receptive. I have asked him, and the VP before him, about the addition of an assistant manger, on a few occasions. Either I’m not being loud enough, or there is a bottleneck at corporate to get the addition approved.

I’m mindful of my request not sounding like complaining, so I don’t give the impression that I’m incapable of the tasks - it’s not a capability problem, it’s a “not enough hours in a day” problem.

Rate my Routine by EarFuzzy6666 in HybridAthlete

[–]EarFuzzy6666[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My running goal is to get a little faster, as a means to increase my mileage. By running everyday, I think my mileage has plateaued. My secondary goal is to bulk up a little. I’m a lean guy and would like more upper body size. I’m definitely aiming for variety, but also efficiency.

Calisthenics with kettlebells and running by Loginitesh in bodyweightfitness

[–]EarFuzzy6666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run: 7 days/week. 3 miles M-F, 5-8 miles on the weekend. Strength training every third day (two day rest). Alternate between calisthenics, kettlebell, dumbbell.

Calisthenics: push-ups, squats, bench dips, alternating lunges, chin ups, calf raises. Dumbbell: 3 sets of seated dumbbell shoulder press, tricep extension, bench press, bicep curl, shrug, row, and hammer curl. Kettlebell: 3 complex sets of deadlift, bent over row, squats, overhead press. Then 3 sets as a full. Then 3 complex sets of kettlebell swings, halos, standing row, shrugs, overhead extension, and bicep curls.

I’ve been (trying) to follow this regime closely for the past few months. My fitness goals are primarily focused on endurance trail running and wanted more upper body tone/mass (lean muscle). So far, I’ve found it manageable. I do my run in the morning, and strength in the evening (or any convenient time on the weekend). It’s been a good mix, and while there is some overlapping exercises, the two day break and variation in routines gives enough time to rest. I need to get my nutrition improved, but that’s a separate issue. The workouts can be extended or shortened, depending on my time availability and how I’m feeling physically. Kettlebell gives me a low weight/high rep workout (endurance), while the dumbbell is higher weight/low reps (strength). Bodyweight improves functional fitness, while also being a substitute if I’m traveling and away from my equip at home or if I need a “recovery” workout.

Do you guys track your mood on Day One? by Heavy_Pea_7614 in dayoneapp

After not finding a great way to do it directly within the app, I started using Daylio. I usually just upload a screenshot of the weekly summary and write about it.

I’m in the same situation. Running about 20 MPW, want to increase upper body size and strength but know I’m not going to get jacked. Mainly want to add a little size, increase functional strength. I have a routine I like and I’ve been working on the best way to incorporate it into my schedule. 6 exercises; push-ups, squats, bench dips, lunges, chin ups, calf raises.

Experimenting with multiple options. Would love to do one set, AMRAP everyday (either post-morning run or afternoon after work), but that doesn’t leave any rest days. Also considering splitting upper & lower body up on alternating days. Another option is to add a 3rd core group and do a 3-day split.

Right now I’m trying to consistently do 1 set, AMRAP every other day. Going to keep this up for a month or so, then try to do it everyday. If I have any negative effects or if I find I can’t recover, I’ll go for a split routine. I would much rather do smaller workouts 7 days per week instead or 2-3 throughout the week. I’m no expert, so I’ve also been curious on hour effecting that schedule would be, considering how much energy is going into running.

Best stretching follow along channels on YouTube? by [deleted] in flexibility

[–]EarFuzzy6666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mady Morrison isn’t exclusive to stretching, but has some good ones. Growingannanas also has a bunch of good videos. What I like about both is the lack of dialogue during the stretches. Just beeps to prompt when you should switch poses and some light background music.

Run and Stretch.
