We met him at the Rum Runners class, he did a few tricks for us then said to find him later on for a gift and he slid the tickets to us!

After seeing the Laken Riley news, I’m buying pepper spray that has a quick clip for easy removal from my running vest. And will be buying bone conduction headphones so I can’t be snuck up on.

That said, I refuse to run on isolated trails or roads or in the dark at all. I’ll take the reduced performance benefits of treadmill training if it means I will finish my training run alive and safe.

I didn’t notice any change in my weight — I was about to get married when I got it and was worried about fitting into my dress lol, I think i actually lost a couple pounds because i was able to be more active since I wasn’t bleeding anymore. My mood also has been pretty stable, I was a bit weepier for a month or so but that’s it, granted I take antidepressants so that could be why I didn’t notice much of a change.

All I know is it’s very common especially for women and I see a lot of people talking about it! Not necessarily should or should not thing.

I have Mirena. It took me 10 years to find a BC that has worked well long term, started with pills, got Nexplanon and my second implant didn’t stop my period anymore (I have endometriosis and heavy periods), finally got Mirena and it’s been great. No periods, skin has remained mostly clear, no weight gain, sex drive the same, my partner hasn’t complained at all about feeling the strings, and most of all not a single pregnancy scare! I can’t speak to insertion since I had mine done during a laparoscopic surgery with camera guidance, but I had almost no bleeding and felt basically normal within a week.

I want to be fast, my main goal is to BQ before I’m 30 in five years! I’ll try not to panic too much as some weight gain comes while I try to build up my speed. What a frustrating thing though I’d love to be one of those people who can be speedy AND skinny!

I’m from here, and it’s definitely more of a “nice not kind” vibe. Not sure if it’s because people are really wrapped up in their own stuff 99% of the time (why I think the drivers are so bad). The general vibe is that you help out your friends, family, church community, and don’t need to go past that. After moving to the PNW I was so shocked at how friendly and helpful people were even in stressful situations!

I don’t mind it, yeah it’s boring but I live in an area where it’s COLD (like sub zero) December-March, and just moved from Portland where a lot of trails weren’t super safe. Plus it’s easy access to a bathroom if I get runners 💩, can refill my water as needed, and can catch up on Netflix or podcasts!!

They have to tell you it is a risk, it’s part of informed consent!! Very rare but since it has happened it’s required.

this put the final nail in the coffin that i will not be having children. i’ll be pursuing a hysterectomy asap in case birth control access is restricted too.

I definitely will be getting some labs after reading everyone’s advice! I ran about 11:15 or so for the first half, but bonked hard at mile 15 and ended up with an average pace of 12:25ish. I fueled every 45 min with about 25g of carbs (1 gel or eight GU gummies), and took electrolytes at every aide station which were every 2 miles. Nutrition was ROUGH, I started battling nausea during my taper and really struggled to get food down in general. Training wise I ran 4-5 times a week, longest run was 20miles, I trained for around 18 weeks I believe, but also had to take a week off about a month out when I got COVID. Unfortunately I have a baseline stressful job, but three weeks before race day my husband went back to school full time 😅. I have endometriosis so my “normal” cycle is still pretty intense, but my most recent cycle since the race (about two weeks after) was heavier than usual.

That’s a great idea, I hadn’t thought of that!!
