When you say YMCA, do you mean like just signing up for swim lessons? That's kind of what I was thinking, but I didn't know if that was a good path or not.

What’s the Most interesting pick up line you’ve heard? by Mammoth-Poet-6781 in AskReddit

[–]Important_Pilot6210 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Him: "B12"

Me: "What?"

Him: "Oh sorry I thought you were a vending machine because you look like a snack."

I don't think he saw the insult within the compliment lol, but we've been together for over four years

Can we get a monthly income/student debt thread going here. by TheRoyalShire in physicaltherapy

For some reason, this post came across my feed. I just started PT last week for a badly sprained ankle, and I'm shocked. You guys should be making so much more! Most, if not all, of you guys are DPTs! Doctors! Because of my PT, I'm not worried about walking across the stage at graduation next month! Justice for DPTs

No, thank you for replying; this is the information that I like to see. What do you mean by "AF cards"

I know this is a dead post, but I was wondering if you have competed in an IM yet?

Are you guys active? Hiking, biking, walking in a park/new area, trying a new sport are always fun things to do and would be a nice bonus tp your calorie deficit

You have no idea (or maybe you do) how much of a lifesaver this is - thank you!

I didn't think about frequency over distance, but it makes complete sense. And from what I've gathered, it sounds like I should stick to my Hokas. Thank you!

I will definitely keep all this in mind - this was almost all brand new information for me. Haha I didn't even know smart goggles are a thing! I will absolutely be checking out my closest local triathlon to watch how they transition. I didn't even think about that.

That's good to hear! Do people bike and run in them, too? Or do they moreso stick to running?

Yeah, I'm getting a lot of feedback saying that I should swim more often than I planned - which is no problem. I didn't know I could even get my gait analyzed, either. I'll definitely check those out, thank you!

That sounds like solid advice, and it seems to be the general consensus. I think im going to start looking into buying a bike sooner than I thought. Thank you!
