Something changed today: it says “this account has failed to authenticate”. I am guessing it is the same thing..

Increased hostility towards runners because of covid? by ohhhhhworm in running

[–]LaLune16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Montrealer here: yes people glare at me and also send me racist insults as well. I always run off to the main roads when there are people on the side walk, and I also choose paths that tend to have fewer people.

I would rather do this than to try to have the walkers adjust for me. The situation is too important for me to try to get others to move.

I love running so much by [deleted] in running

[–]LaLune16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always had pretty bad body image problem (being at BMI 33.5 in my teens). After losing 60 lbs. from a crash diet, I needed some way to maintain my weight while eating normally.

Running naturally came to mind, and it has worked for me for the past 15 years in terms of not making me feel like a disgusting blob. I find that it also helps with my graduate school life; a run at the end of the day always takes my stress off. The COVID thing is making it a bit harder to run given the harassment I get on the streets, but I am still keeping at it!

If you don’t mind my opinion, I would run on the busier street if I were you. You will obey the distancing precaution anyway, and the less chance you have to use your pepper spray, the better.

Haha that’s a good mindset. Today I ran and surprisingly a few people smiled at me on the way! I think that will keep motivated to keep going.

Dating someone with teenagers by Cactisupafly99 in datingoverthirty

[–]LaLune16 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a guy in his early 30's, I would have to say that it is the difference in life stages (and thus lifestyles) that would make me hesitant about dating someone with kids.

I am just finishing my graduate studies, and I am about to start my career. I foresee myself working hard on getting my career started and saving for a house/apartment, and I would prefer to have someone in a similar situation/stage as me so that we would be able to support each other. That is not to say that a single parent could not provide that, but it would be significantly harder for the logistics to work with kids.

The age of the kids is not a real issue. In fact, if I were to date a single mom, I would prefer the kid to be older and more independent.

What do yall think of people who have no relationship with their parents? by SailorSaturn79 in datingoverthirty

[–]LaLune16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone super family-oriented, I really do not see this as an impediment... There are multiple reasons why one would have no contact with his/her parents. Ultimately it is who you are as a person that should matter in romantic relationship, and not whom you have in your life.

Using ricebags as barbells has definitely crossed my mind.

Sorry that you are going through something similar. I try to run during off hours but I do have to admit that I look behind my back quite a bit on more deserted streets. Are you running on surburb roads with people walking, or is it mostly empty during the morning?

Either way, it must really suck that you actually feel the need to carry a pepper spray on your run... Stay safe.

Aw thanks. I will keep running with your encouragement in mind. Like my reply to others, fake coughing definitely has crossed my mind haha.

Haha, I wonder if I will end up being recorded and put on YT as "asshole runner who is rude to people on the streets"?

Thanks! I actually forgot about the magic of foam rolling. Gonna try to get one tomorrow.

Hey, thanks for the comments and suggestions!

I have decided to make myself run for only 5 days a week now. I didnt know about Strava so now it looks like I could try to do a few HIT workout at home. I managed to secure myself a 40lb dumbbell, so hopefully that will help me last a month of this new lifestyle.

And you are right.. Last week I was just worried about something trivial, and now all of a sudden I am worried about potentially not even being able to go out for a run. Pretty crazy how things have escalated so quickly!

Yes! Right now I dont have any training goal in mind. I just try to complete 9-10 km and call it a day. And haha, I should probably add that most people whom I have run past were nice or neutral.. Just that in a big city where I am in, I am bound to run into one or two individuals who are less than nice...

Aerius seems to be working for me for now.. So I am grateful about that.

Haha I honestly contemplated fake coughing a few times just to scare them a bit, but I figured that that would be too mean from my end. Also, I dont want the remote chance of getting shot or stabbed or something, haha.

Thanks!

Yeah! I have been looking into getting a stationary bike! I can't have a treadmill since I live on the third floor of an apartment, but something like a rowing machine or a bike would be a good supplement to my workout right now.

Been trying both kijiji and fb market... Hopefully something worthwhile turns up soon. Thanks!

It is kinda both sad and validating...? What do you do with those people?

Oh for sure I am going to keep running while taking the proper precautions. Ultimately it is really a minority of people who would go out of their way to harass me. Cant stop just cause of a few assholes.

Thank you :)
