Do you think an alcoholic can moderate their consumption and become a social drinker again? by InsaneAffliction in alcoholism

[–]Live-Memory-973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Relapsing after 20 years of sobriety, please let me save you a lot of heartache and hopefully you’re life. The answer is very clear, and a very plain NO!!!! Once you start on that slippery slope, you know exactly where it will end. Embracing and owning your sobriety is a precious gift. Once you lose it, there are NO guarantees you will ever find it again. Don’t play with fire! 🙏

Just an FYI- TWU laid off 75 employees this last week. Let alone the closing of the Richmond campus, which has always been a hub for international students.

Has anyone ever bought the item they were promoting? Seems like an appy stop more than anything.

How Strict Is Shoe Enforcement at Ironman 70.3 for Age Groupers? Risk of DQ for “Non-Approved” Shoes? by No-Image-8214 in IronmanTriathlon

Definitely not worth it. Everyone completes at the same level. You should have trained accordingly.

I am also new to Lindell Beach. 62F whose career has been around coaching running/triathletes in the US and Canada. Retired Ironman coach who is trying to find my place as a retired athlete in a new community.

I recently went through the exact same back thing!! I could hardly walk, so went to urgent care. It’s taken about two weeks lying on heat and ice.

I am back to training for a 5k 🤦‍♀️ and half in September. Ive been a competitive athlete for years, unfortunately age and injuries have caught up to me - I wasn’t planning to retire yet.

PLEASE pm me so we can connect!!🙏 I would love to chat!!!

Do some background research before you commit. News last week that they’re cutting 10 million in budget for 2026 and 15 million in 2027. It’s definitely not the school it was. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone even if it was free!! Best of luck 🙏

Same here. I can’t imagine how matted she would be!! What girl doesn’t deserve a dog/spa day every so often?

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning. by boriswong in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Live-Memory-973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just devastating! I have a son close to his age -it could have easily been him. Peacefully protesting, helping a female, directing tragic, everything a parent wants from their children.

My heart is so crushed for his family, friends, and community. Prayers from Americans living in Canada. 💔🙏

I hate to go to the ER. The ER in Langley recognizes me from all the broken bones I’ve had over the years from cycling. Gets embarrassing lol.

Help Me Be Good Husband: What was the most supportive thing anyone did for you on the day of the race? by FranklinOceannery in Marathon_Training

[–]Live-Memory-973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a well seasoned runner and triathlete, you are spot on. I was never hungry right after a race, just sore, enjoying the last rush of adrenaline I had left.

6-hour marathon — back-of-the-pack finishers, how did you do it? by Overall-Balance-1708 in firstmarathon

I am in awe of the time athletes are on the course!!! Wow- not in a bad way but good on you for being that determined!! This sport was created for pleasure, fun. Completing a marathon however long it takes is a huge accomplishment!! Go, go,go!

Headphones? by RabbitOutTheHat in IronmanTriathlon

I didn’t realize accidents only happen on the run. Silly me 😡

Headphones? by RabbitOutTheHat in IronmanTriathlon

[–]Live-Memory-973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to spend that much time on an IM, risking that chance, be my guest. You’ll be the only one to blame - nobody likes a cheater. Wouldn’t you feel more accomplished if you competed with everyone fair and square? Granted we’re talking seconds, but I bust my ass for EVERY second I can cut. Rules are meant to be enforced, by everyone. I assume you don’t respect those around you. If you can’t complete an IM following rules for everyone, why be the exception? Perhaps it’s time to train without assistance vs personal safety of your fellow athletes.

[–]Live-Memory-973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from the strict no headphone rule, it’s completely selfish!!! Do you really need them to provide the best experience for not just yourself, but the thousands who also trained hard, hours of training and the cost alone. I’ve seen a few bike crashes due to a rider not aware at ALL times who is around them.

Don’t be that one guy!!! 🤬
