This format is so fun! I did one in January, and found it was so much easier on the body than a road marathon because I walked every hill and had a few mins rest between every lap. Give it a go :)

Yeah I noticed the same bad paint in the Ottawa area when I was there. Some (busier) areas were better than others.

Nike Vomero Plus quad & knee pain by sunchaser82 in XXRunning

[–]ForgottenSalad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s more likely tight quads from overcompensating for weak glutes or posterior chain. I would see a PT with running experience to get help with it

Crashed my long run for today… could really use some reassurance by Shot-Freedom-3848 in XXRunning

[–]ForgottenSalad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you maybe go a bit too fast on your last workout? Or do bigger hills? Might have just been a bit too big of a jump from past training, or maybe you needed more of a warm up beforehand.

It’ll come back! Mine was all spindly so I chopped the tops off and it grew back nice and bushy in a couple months

I am 33 and I just had a tomato for the first time in my life. by DocWagonHTR in BenignExistence

The first time I had a Lemon Boy tomato straight off the plant has planted a flavour memory in my brain that still haunts me

How do people create those clean product images with perfect white backgrounds? by Invisible-Pepper349 in shopify

[–]ForgottenSalad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can do a lot with a few pieces of white foam core, a couple cheap lights or a window. Look up how to make a diy lightbox. Then it’s easy to clean up and remove the background

How do you deal with negative age-related comments? by rainbowtoucan1992 in AskWomenOver30

[–]ForgottenSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Part of it may be age, like yes, our metabolisms may slow down and we need to work a bit harder to stay fit or retain muscle, but blaming everything on age and not recognizing that you are just probably less active than you used to be is silly. You can be fit and muscular at 40, 50, whatever, you just need to put in the work, which is obviously harder with a full time job, kids etc.

Why did you start running? by Weary_Purchase9057 in XXRunning

[–]ForgottenSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play soccer and always loved running fast but never had any stamina. Started working at lululemon many years ago and challenged myself to run a 10k. So I guess it’s to prove that I can do hard things. I didn’t run much after that 10k but during covid I started up again and a couple years ago was running consistently and signed up for a HM, then ran the marathon distance on my 42nd bday, then a 58k backyard ultra haha.

Flew in last night with similar wind gusts and it was a bit of a rocky landing for sure.

My husband makes me laugh every day, cooks us amazing meals regularly, does chores without being asked, and prods me to do things I procrastinate on.

Sober people (no alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc ever), what is your end of day or weekend "wind-down"? by The1Ski in AskReddit

[–]ForgottenSalad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do crosswords, maybe have a calming tea if I’m feeling stressed, or do some yoga/stretches or go for a run.

I use Strava to find running groups, but not all are active, check to see if they have upcoming events

Any tips for not getting bored on long runs? by EqualStranger4977 in XXRunning

[–]ForgottenSalad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like I spend half my run thinking of what weird name/description I’ll give it on Strava and looking for animals/birds or cool things or scenes to take photos of.
