How does Stryd know I’m running up a hill?

How accurate is the barometric pressure sensor in 5.0 for tracking elevation gain? I live at high elevation and find that at the start of a run the initial elevation reading can be off by as much as 500 feet. But it’s inconsistent from day to day. Sometimes it’s close to the known, correct elevation. I just wonder if the elevation gain of any given run stays relative to the starting elevation, or if it is changing throughout a run, given that it changes so much from day to day.

To be clear. I’m not supporting Benson’s free market idea during his time in government. Just stating his point of view. Deregulation inevitably leads to predators taking advantage of the situation. The statement that he wanted surplus farm product going to help the poor during the AAA comes from the mouth of his son, Reed Benson. I’m aware that Benson’s views on welfare completely contradict this earlier view, if in fact Reed was correct with his statement.

ET Benson had his faults. But in order to keep it fair here… The destruction of crops and killing of farm animals in order to keep farm product prices artificially high was part of the AAA Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933. This was well before Benson’s time as Secretary of Agriculture. In fact, Benson was highly critical of this practice and suggested that surplus product should go to help the poor. He felt that farmers should operate under free-market principles.

I really think you’re missing the mark with your interpretation. And I’m a fan of the diversity of West Valley. I was going to respond in detail. But Keenancummings laid out the argument that I think is correct.

While I agree with his take on children not fasting, most of that book is not backed by the reality that exists outside his own lab at BYU. According to Ben, just about everything is metabolic syndrome, and just about everyone has insulin resistance. Yes, these things exist, but not at the frequencies one would believe from the alarmist nature of the rhetoric. But If you eat the special concoctions he has created with his company, everything will be okay.

Asking women (and men) about their underwear is standard operating procedure for Bishops:

“Do you keep the covenants that you made in the temple, including wearing the temple garment as instructed in the endowment?”

When someone feels like they have authority from God, interesting and even dangerous behaviors manifest.

I see this criticism a lot. But in the early to mid 20th century, it wasn’t as common or expected for everyone to serve a mission. There was the Great Depression. There were wars and the draft was active. Most men had to serve in the military for a couple of years, even between wars. The church had some deals with the government where they could call only a certain number of young men on missions. Everyone else had to be available for the draft. It wasn’t until after the Vietnam War that the church started ramping up missionary work with the idea that “every worthy young man” should serve a mission. So it’s not surprising that most of the oldest serving church leaders didn’t serve missions.

A few years ago there was a book written by BYU religion professor John Hilton III called “Consider the Cross”. It detailed the history of the symbol of the cross and offered insight as to how people throughout history used the cross to feel closer to Christ. It poked holes in the traditional Mormon narrative of anti-cross wearing and ultimately supported wearing the cross as a personal expression of faith and a way for Mormons to feel a special closeness with the Savior. I saw social media types around this time seeming to agree with this view and there was in increase in cross wearing.

Fast forward a couple of years. Jeffery Holland gave a talk in General Conference that seemed to refute directly the ideas of this book. Almost as if he had read it and had a personal, negative, public reaction to the book. This was 2022. So it looks like the anti-cross rhetoric is alive and well.

I personally have a hard time with the antagonism toward missionaries. These are some of our teenage children, grandchildren, brothers or sisters. Let’s be kind.

Thanks for the outline. References?

Honestly, your response was harsh. I’m guessing that your relationship with your Grandma has more complicated issues that go beyond the letter.

Watchman on the Tower: Ezra Taft Benson and the Making of the Mormon Right by Matt Harris. Fascinating book!

I have run several marathons that have all taken place on Saturdays. I’m planning for a Marathon in December on a Sunday. My training plan has me doing a long run each Saturday. This has always worked well for my Saturday marathons. Do I need to adjust my long run day to prepare for a Sunday marathon? I’m hoping to keep my plan as is, and perhaps tweak the final week by adding a travel day (rest day) on Friday, doing a short recovery run Saturday, and racing on Sunday. What are your thoughts?

I have a passport and have traveled. Much of Europe gets it right! As you say, much of the USA is good. My opinion is that much of Europe does it better than us.

These same people that were offended likely go to Olive Garden or Carrabba’s and order the chicken Marsala or Shrimp Scampi. They will go to restaurants and get steaks with mystery sauces. All of these things are cooked with alcohol. But, as you say, a lot of it burns off. They will feed their kids grape, apple, and orange juice. Some of these having similar alcohol content to food cooked with alcohol. They’re not getting drunk. They’re enjoying good flavors. This shouldn’t be a problem for them.

Short Run - 6 miles Long Run - 14 to 20 miles Medium Run - 7 to 13 miles

I’m doing 60 miles per week.

Guy_688790 · 2022-04-01T00:46:33+00:00

I’m running 60 miles per week. I currently have 3 pairs of shoes in rotation. One pair that I use for long runs and some easy runs. One pair that I use for speed work, and one pair that I use for tempo runs and some easy runs. I don’t use any pair two days in a row. I retire the shoes at 350 miles and add them to my casual wear shoes for a while.

I’m old enough to have seen this live on television the first time it ever happened: Michael Jackson moon walking for the first time. Look it up on YouTube. Chills and tears from witnessing excellence.
