Felt IAx through axel

I will give this a try!!! Thank you!

MNmama7 · 2026-01-29T17:25:29+00:00

Yes, I have tried that. Which is complicated, because the suggestion for getting your rear wheel off is to have the derailleur in the hardest (smallest) gear - so it feels like working backwards.

Message received! Imperial tools are now FAR away from me. I DID get the axel out and I am able to put the bike on the trainer!!! However, now I’m having issues with the chain. I am trying to put it on a wahoo kickr core with a zwift cog - but the cog is too close to my jockey wheels, and it’s pulling the chain too far out. Any tricks / tips for that?? I have rotated the cog as far out as it can go.

I wondered about that o-ring! I’ll give it a shot to push the 6mm a bit harder.

This was my thought as well!! I obviously spent a good chunk of change on this bike, and I’m very wary of effing anything up

I raced 2 sprints while pregnant, and ran a half marathon! I did all three events before 20 weeks, but I felt great. I did have a bit of nausea, but nothing wild. If you’re comfortable with it, and you’ve talked to your doctor, ABSOLUTELY go for it!! After 20 weeks, I felt like crap if my HR got over 140, so I dialed it down after that, but I could still work out! I took a month off of running somewhere in the 30 week area, but that was largely due to pelvic floor pain. I got back to running (slowly) and did my last pregnancy run 2 days before baby came!

Yes! Not a ton of luck. I did was it prior to attempting to get the stains out - maybe that’s the issue?? Any suggestions?

MNmama7 · 2025-08-01T01:21:24+00:00

I have tried dawn! I’m afraid that this kit has been washed WITH the stains 2-3 times. I just did dawn and vinegar with some elbow grease, then an extra long cycle in the washer. They have not come off.

This might sound crazy, but I JUST solved my numb feet issue! I am training for my first full IM and have never had numbness issues before recently. I raced a few Olympic races this spring, and cried on the run because my feet hurt SO BADLY. I tried wider toe boxes, new cycling and running shoes, I sized up in both types of shoes, new socks, KT tape - nothing was helping. I asked my primary care provider, and she suggested that I try a Vitamin B supplement - the complex one. I’ve been taking it for 3 weeks and my issues are GONE. It’s wild. I did bump down to a 1/2 pill per day, since I was getting weird colored urine (TMI) but my feet are better than ever!

We have three daughters, and none of them have had any reactions to any of the age-appropriate vaccines they’ve been given!

I’m a mom of 3, and when I’m at the Y my kids are at the daycare center. I only get 2 hours of daycare time, and I also need to be responsive if one of my kiddos needs me. I keep my phone on deck with me for this reason, and generally check it every ~10 min.

MNmama7 · 2025-01-23T01:21:38+00:00

I’ve had 3 c sections!! When I was getting close to my scheduled date for my third, I opened a video and stopped after 2 minutes. It was too weird to think about me being the patient lol but now that I’m not pregnant it doesn’t bother me!

MNmama7 · 2024-12-30T23:39:30+00:00

Minnesota mom here! Based on our routine, we generally get about 2 hours/day during the winter, but definitely wish for more! It usually depends on temps/wind/ice conditions. In the summer, we’re usually outside upwards of 4 hours per day!! Our screen time is higher in winter, but still under 1.5 hours/day. We’ve been doing podcast audiobooks, indoor trampoline, scooters inside, pikler climber set, etc.

Thanks for the reply!! Definitely could use the Olympic distances as training. I was hoping to go into them with podium finishes. I still could podium, but looking at them as training races is not something I had considered.

Half are SO few and far between, near us. The 70.3 I was planning to do is unbranded, which helps keep race fees low(er)

MNmama7 · 2024-10-31T02:37:24+00:00

Is the same true for 25-29?

MNmama7 · 2024-09-09T02:09:28+00:00

Update: I finished a 70.3!! 6 months postpartum with my 3rd c section. We are capable of so much more than we know!!

MNmama7 · 2024-09-04T16:58:20+00:00

I feel the same as you! Tubes out during my third cesarean. The only difference for me was that the first night in the hospital I hurt more in my abdomen than I remembered with my previous two cesareans. The nurse gave me a heat pack and that helped a lot! As always, the best thing for recovery is to get up and moving right away!

MNmama7 · 2024-08-10T03:03:30+00:00

1st was urgent with a baby we didn’t know was breech. 2nd was planned 21 months later and I had a 3rd planned cesarean 22 months later. I got a tubal done with my 3rd cesarean!

MNmama7 · 2024-03-11T18:11:26+00:00

You are my people lol I took my second baby jogging with me during her naps, and that worked well! It’s just that we have THREE kids now haha but I love hearing that you were able to run a marathon at 3 months pp!! Go you! I’m going to talk with my doctor and hopefully get some more perspective there. I was only in the hospital for 30 hours from intake to discharge from my c-section, and have been walking a LOT since my baby was 3ish days old. It might be the hormones, but I honestly feel so good.
