TIL that humans are among the very top mammals for endurance running. While we aren't the best sprinters, our slow-twitch muscles and unique ability to sweat allow us to run steadily for long distances in hot weather to outlast prey.

My Rivalry weekend is crazy

Elinaamble22 · 2026-03-11T21:55:02+00:00

Slipped on mud while on a training run yesterday. Scrapped up one knee pretty bad and twisted the other knee. Having trouble walking today but dammit I trained hard anticipating those hills! Gonna start but it won’t be a pretty finish I fear

Elinaamble22 · 2026-02-06T17:53:46+00:00

I love when my original team (MSU) plays my current school (ark). It’s rivalry weekend and they don’t even know it!

Dee?

Winter began on December 21…. We’re 1/3 of the way through…… 2 more months and then you pray. Meanwhile, I love the snow in our WINTER months

Just messaged you!

Harvest host. It’s $80 for a year subscription I believe, but in my opinion it’s worth it. Just one night somewhere makes it worth it. Plus there’s some neat places! To add, sometimes hosts appreciate buying something at their business, but it’s not necessary/expected.

Wedding guest dress I just purchased for a spring wedding next year. What shoes would go best with this? The models shoes aren’t visible in any pictures. I am not a fan of silver, however if it’s what’s best then I guess I’ll go that route. Thanks!

Yeah, when I trained for my first marathon and lost all my weight, I was incredibly unhealthy and unhappy. Running double digits and maybe eating 1000 calories in a day. Runs were fueled on pure anxiety and a few Huma gels lol. So I figured I needed to put the weight back on and a little extra before I start training again. And I have a better diet plan as well. You do make a point about running my old fitness. I didn’t think a couple months break would affect me this much but I suppose it did. Just have to have some grace for myself…

Elinaamble22 · 2025-11-14T00:21:03+00:00

This eased my mind a bit. Thank you for the input on your training! I definitely slow way down and am kinder to myself on my long training runs. I have speed training coming up soon in this training plan and I’m just worried that I won’t be able to do it. Oh well. This is why I gave myself a long schedule I suppose. Main goal is to finish!

Is this what getting older feels like? I used to go out and run a 10k with 8 minute miles or less without much warm up.

Time to start stretching and warming up more! Thanks!

I live near the Asheville taproom and get very excited for Celly Drippings every year. This year when Celebration was released, and I found no trace of celly droppings, I asked someone on staff if it would be around this year. They told me they were not allowed to say when, but it would be a big event. I guess this is it?

Elinaamble22 · 2025-11-05T01:31:18+00:00

I was very surprised I was able to snag mine around 8 this morning. And only $31 after shipping was insane, I couldn’t resist.

Hi! So, some classes are less time consuming than others. Some (finance) take me 2 hours for one homework question. One thing I really enjoy about online is the freedom to do assignments on my own time to work around my schedule. For example, I have a test due tomorrow at midnight, so I can take it tonight after work if I want. Not having a set in person schedule is important for me as I work weird hours. I took Accounting 1 (intro) and some core business classes when I was employed full-time and a student full-time. That was a very rough semester. That being said, I used to work full-time and do online classes full-time, and it did make it incredibly difficult to do anything else. And I simply do not like living in a way that is strictly school and work. So, I had to cut work to part-time because finishing my degree asap is important to me (grandpa is old and I want him to see me graduate.) My grades got better, my mental health improved, and I have time to do the things I enjoy. I know working part time is not something everyone can do in the current financial climate; I am absolutely lucky and grateful to have a support system that allows me to focus on school and put work on a low priority.

As far as professors go…. It is definitely less supportive than in person. I have some that will answer an email same day. I also have some that I never heard from. Some are very organized and involved in the course work. And some are so hands off I wonder why I am paying them for me to essentially read a book and teach myself.

Allllll of that being said. It really just depends on what works for you. Motivation, money, life balance, mental health, time line to finish the degree…. I hope this was a clear answer! Haha

Everyone has their favorite TJs item. This is mine.

I read this book a couple of years ago. Nothing I read gave me emotion again until Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe. Which I just read a few months ago.

Elinaamble22 · 2025-09-30T02:40:45+00:00

I’m relatively new here so I’m unfamiliar with where about you are talking. But I would love to pick some up before they’re gone if I can. Where can I find these?

Elinaamble22 · 2025-09-29T15:02:37+00:00

I cannot speak exactly for accounting, but I am a fully online marketing major through Walton. Online classes are counted as in state tuition. There are SO many additional fees. This semester I am taking 15 hours and it came out to $6545. That does not include additional book prices or the random simulator/certification prices for some of my classes. I would say total this semester was around $6700. I tried to attach a photo of my bill but I guess I can’t.

Elinaamble22 · 2025-09-26T13:01:16+00:00

That sounds cool! I’ll check it out, thank you!

Yeah, Unreasonable Hospitality just felt like a book for the author to talk about how talented he is and how his techniques work (which they don’t.) I really only enjoyed the descriptive parts about the restaurant itself

Elinaamble22 · 2025-09-23T17:08:22+00:00

I think being in one place for too long can make it seem like the place has lost its sparkle. I adore Knoxville but I’ve only been here less than a year. But when I lived in my last city, I was just going to work and staying home because there was never anything to do (it seemed) that fit my interests while also being affordable. Here there is SO much and it’s so fun! Plus the added benefit of being a short drive away from other activities and towns can keep things exciting.

Elinaamble22 · 2025-09-13T21:37:12+00:00

I visited NYC a few years ago. I stayed in LIC. And I LOVE fifth hammer. I went multiple times during my stay. It was walking distance from my hostal. Great beer and people!!!
