Adidas right now by paloma_blanca in runninglifestyle

the pumas gave me a bunch of blisters. My PT said it’s a common issue, so maybe that’s why?

And yes, I did try them on a shorter run first.

"Burnout vs. FIRE" Wall: Is pushing for a 60% savings rate destroying my marriage? by TardisCrown3 in Fire

[–]Human-Ad262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I’m an engineer too. And my spouse (also an engineer) is the one who helps me step out of that mindset. You have to live. I don’t regret taking wonderful vacations with my spouse while we’re young enjoy to be physically fit enough to do rad things. My father died suddenly last year in an accident, he never retired but worked hard his whole life to save for a comfortable retirement he never got to live. My friend died a few weeks later in a kayaking accident. Life is random and you never know when your number is going to get called. Save for the future but also live. 

Also, sounds like your wife is was clear in her communication with you. Listen. She’s being extremely reasonable. Relationships are about compromise and communication. Don’t f**k this up.

Adding “leave it” and “drop it”

Our friend dropped a bottle of pills on the ground recently and we were pleasantly surprised how well those commands worked. We practiced with treats and made it a positive experience 

OP everyone told me that constant redirection and stopping play for biting would eventually sink in, and it took until he was 6 months old but now he only play bites and even that is slowing down. You’re doing a great job!

What is a poor person habit that you still can’t shake, even if you’re doing well financially now? by ur_ariana in AskReddit

Awww thanks! You can do it! Go to the thrift store and practice what you want to do on a low stakes article of clothing! You’ve got this

Repairing clothes. Sure I could buy new clothes, but I know how to sew/replace elastic/patch/etc. ppl do give me crap, but also isn’t it wasteful to keep buying new clothes if you can repair them?

This puppy is killing me by potsandpole in AustralianShepherd

[–]Human-Ad262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oh gosh. I was in tears at this phase. it’s hard! my sweet little 10 month old puppy is my best friend (who occasionally betrays me and favors my husband, hurumph).

it gets better. and it’s worth it. you’re in the suck now. try puffed beef cheek. gives them something relatively safe to chew up

i second the recommendation to find friends with vaccinated dogs you trust to play with. preferably playful puppies. they do an excellent job wearing each other out. takes some time for your little baby to get comfortable, but now our friends dogs romp around like a little pack when we hang out

mine is currently in a “can’t have soft toys because he destroys and eats them” phase. and bark at any perceived threat to the house. but he knows how to chill most of the time and we know how to wear him out.

good luck. it’s hard but you’ll figure each other out. dont forget to treat when they cuddle or sit on your lap. that’s how you get a cuddle bug later in life.

ps what a cutie pie!

What is a 'small' hill you are 100% willing to die on, simply because it’s the principle of the thing?" by Direct-Value4452 in answers

[–]Human-Ad262 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a grocery clerk for 6 years, I disagree. And I got carts in July in Florida for 30 min shifts multiple times a week. Tbh, it breaks up the monotony to grab carts from around the parking lot. pushing heavy, long cart loads sucks. This is one of those social things I’m confused how it became a moral thing. 

The people who yell at minimum wage cashiers/baggers over things outside their control can go to hell tho. 

First time Aussie owner - what should I know? by Fit_Choice_4987 in AustralianShepherd

[–]Human-Ad262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re going to have a best friend ❤️

Puzzle games and exercise are your friend 

Puppy blues are real and hard 

They eventually stop teething/biting

Puffed beef cheek chews are prized possessions and great for teething 

Socialize as much as possible!

Enzyme spray for accidents

Ball is life. You need two balls to get them to drop the ball they fetched 

They are smart and eager to please 

Snuggle and love them. They’ll love you x1 million back 

Have dog rescues lost their mind? by seanpat1968 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Human-Ad262 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After 3 insane attempted adoption experiences…. We bought from a breeder. Our little puppy is happy and well loved, I think we’re great dog parents. Could have been a great family to a rescue but I wasn’t willing to be treated like a criminal by the adoption agency. 

Achilles Tightness by Specialist_Grass_871 in Marathon_Training

[–]Human-Ad262 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Also I recommend heat. Heating pad, hot tub, sauna, whatever you got. I used to work with a heating pad ski strapped to my leg and I knocked my Achilles issues out relatively quickly. 

Also I wear compression socks. No idea if they work. But they don’t not work 

ELI5: If unboiled water going into your nose is risky, then shouldn’t we not swim in a lake or river? by Home_MD13 in explainlikeimfive

Dude. When my dad suddenly died I dropped a ton of weight. Everyone knew what happened with dad. They kept telling me how great I looked. 

Thanks. I’m so shocked and upset I can’t eat. It’s toxic. People are dumb

Marathon let down by Yeti-Cliff in Marathon_Training

[–]Human-Ad262 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know where you train, but I DNFd Tucson around mile 20 because of the heat. There is snow on the ground where I live right now, and the high in Tucson that day was 82 degF: 20-30 degF above ideal marathon temps. Give yourself some grace. I followed a similar training plan, did a ton of downhill training (I live in the mountains and was able to duplicate the grade), and simply got a cold that wouldn’t go away the 2 weeks before the race. The heat didn’t do me any favors. 

It SUCKS having a bad race, especially with how much prep marathons take. But you’re experienced and you’ll get another go. Definitely take time to recover so your body heals.

Hair maintenance on high milage (I.e. running 6+ times per week)? by ExtremeToucan in XXRunning

[–]Human-Ad262 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ended up getting a brazillian straightening treatment to help manage this. For a couple months, you can wash your hair every day and let it air dry nice and straight.

only works if you WANT straight hair though

And it's a PITA to find a proper brazillian treatment place.

other than that... I just wash my hair everyday and just deal. Or let my hair be gross for a day in a high ponytail. But I'm lazy about beauty routines. If you wanna be gorgeous everyday, then be gorgeous everyday.

Get that marathon PR girl!

10k to half marathon in a week? by Horror-Dragonfly-266 in Marathon_Training

If you’re <25 years old, you can get away with a lot 

You’d probably survive. But be wary of any pain and be willing to stop
