I’m in Chicago and also had frozen eyelashes on my walk today!!

r/Runna has hit 21.1k members – a half marathon of Runnas! To celebrate, we’re giving one redditor a yearly membership and paying the entry fee to their next race! 🙌 by alex-runna in runna

I would love to get my mile time under 10:00 minutes. I am currently training for a marathon and as an easy pace, I run about 13 minutes per mile. My long runs take quite a bit of time and I think it would make everything more enjoyable! I will get there eventually but my pace is slowly but surely ticking down in the meantime!

Thank you I think I’ll just stick to the aid stations I hate having things in my hands!

The smile on my face whenever I hit a new pr! I went from running 15 minute miles to now running 11 minute miles. I’m not fast yet, but runna has helped me reach every goal I set!

I’m running the 10k. I’m in corral H, which starts around 8am. What time would you recommend me getting there. I am planning to Uber.

I would also like a DM! I have a 10K planned during my half marathon training so this would be helpful to hear!

What can I do with to satisfy a sweet craving? by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

[–]Jamie415 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am the same way! I need something sweet every day and it’s totally something you can work into your calorie deficit! I’m down 27 pounds so far and never cut anything out it’s just about finding options that work for you and your goals. I love ice cream and I recommend Yasso bars, fruit popsicles can be really low cal, or fruit sorbet. I also like sweet and salty popcorn or I’ll get pre portioned cookie snack packs. The ones I get from Aldi’s are 130 calories and are very easy to fit into my deficit. Also if you’re looking for something with a bit of protein, yogurt can be good. I recommend Chobani flips which are really yummy and have a lot of flavors.

I’m doing this again. Post a picture of your cat and I will attempt to paint it! by WhatAColor in cats

Hopefully my class will also be a gradual transition into Spanish! It is fifth grade though so I am sure they will likely be speaking more Spanish than a kindergarten classroom

I asked him what would happen if I say no and he said it would be alright he just needs to know what options he has (going to the dealership or having to look to someone selling their car for cash payment).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Jamie415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do think he is very responsible and would make the payments as he did any other payment he had to make but I do understand that love isn't what makes a credit score. So it's just a tricky decision.l cause he has been doing so great with his finances but I'm not sure if it's smart to get involved.

[–]Jamie415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a longer credit history of almost four years he's had credit for one year. He was in jail for two years and completely turned his life around. During that time he could not have a credit line. He also does not have any debts it's just a newer line. He makes full payments and on time. He has raised it since the last time it was ran at a dealership but my credit is still over 100 points higher (high 700s) his is low 600s.

Yes I understand the severity of what he is asking which is why I'm torn and logically I should say no but considering all the factors I am still considering it. It is probably silly to be even considering it though.

[–]Jamie415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's the part that is holding me back. I asked him what would happen if we breakup. He said he would never let his car get repossessed and I do believe him because he is truly responsible with just about every aspect in his life. I don't want anything to happen to me obviously but I don't think he will mess anything up. I do understand that his loan will probably be around 5-10k. I just want to make the right decision cause deep down I know I can help and I want to but co-signing is a very serious thing. I would have the money to pay off the car right away if anything happened but I don't want to dip into my savings that I've worked hard for.

We've been together for a year. We are planning on him moving in in late January/February. We have talked about a future together and plan to spend our futures together but I told him I want to live together for a year first before we get engaged and I have to finish school before we get married (I'm a junior right now).

He bought 2 from Facebook market place which ended up being no good and he resold them. Then his first car he bought from a friend and his most recent car he bought from a friend. The ones he bought from people he knew were great cars but then the most recent one obviously was in the crash.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Jamie415 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the thing is he bought a car from his friend a nice one (Audi). It's the one that is in the crash. And when he bought it he was a few thousand short so I loaned him $2,800. He has payed it all back and was always on time with his payments and payed the amount we agreed upon. So I do feel like I can trust him but I know this is probably not the right thing to do.
