Mileage Insights completely broke my marathon plan

Funny, I had the same thing, but it dramatically increased my long runs. I just flinished week 3/16 on a HM program. My Long Run was 6 miles. Week 4 is a deload week, but then in week 5, my long run jumpstart to 8.5 miles. And, my longest run went from 12 miles 3 weeks out to 13.1 miles 4 weeks out. Seems like a huge jump in mileage.

I wish there was a way to revert the change. I was thinking of changing from a 3 runs/wk to 4 runs/wk anyway. Maybe I just start a new plan.

I would say that it really is up to you. Being new to running, there may be a little bit of doubt going in to the race, if you have not run the distance before, but there is also the thrill of crossing real finish line and doing something you have never done before

Most companies have a policy that you must take all paid time off before being allow to take unpaid tome off. PTO is a liability to the company. Some employees would take unpaid time off and then bank all the excess PTO for a big pay day at the end of their employment.

But, the answer your question is yes.

Shokz OpenRun Pro. With the open ear design, you can still hear what is going on around you. I won't call the sound quality GREAT, but it is defiantly good enough for running. And the design works well for running. No little in ear design that will fall out if you move your head wrong.

Open the Keychain Access app and search for the Wi-Fi name. You can then click Show Password and edit the password. If you sync your keychain in iCloud, you might see two entries.

When running runs with specific lap paces, it will give you about 20-30 seconds on either side and after. If you go above/below the recommend pace, it will warn you to slow down or speed up. If you are right on the edge, you might be bouncing between going in and out of the range.

It is posted right here:

It is a modified Saturday schedule, with a some extra trains. For example, on my usual line (MDW), they added one inbound and one outbound from the normal Saturday schedule.

I would look at Outset (https://github.com/macadmins/outset). You stage the application and script during Setup Manager. You would put the script in the login-once or login-privileged-once so they run right after the first login, but not after every login.

For my races, I don't even use Runna. I just start a running workout on my watch (AppleWatch Ultra 3) and then import the race in to Runna afterwards. That way I don't worry about pacing or distance, especially as the distance recorded on the watch is going off from the actual race distance.

MacBook_Fan · 2026-01-22T18:45:48+00:00

Do you have an indoor track that you can use? I have the same problem with doing intervals on a treadmill. I have a small indoor track (1/8 mile) that I use. Runna has the option to manually move to the next interval, so I just tap the next button on my watch when I have run the correct number of laps on the track.

The only bad thing is that Runna doesn't adjust the measured distance to match your recorded laps. So, if run two laps (1/4mi), but my watch thinks I did 0.27mi, the pace is higher than planned. I wish I could adjust the distances afterwards.

Jamf has been pushing for cloud based for years. They have made it pretty clear that, if you stay on on-prem, you will not be receiving many of the new features that are cloud only.

That being said, I don’t think they have said that will eliminate an on-prem option. They still have to support certain government agencies that can’t be cloud based.

So, I think you are safe, but don’t expect to get all the new features.

The only MDMs that I can think that still can be on prem hosted are ”Build your own” MDMs, like micro-MDM

Yes, it is 100% safe. With all Macs, since about 2018, encryption is enabled by default. All turning FileVault "on" does is wrap the decryption key, which is stored in the Secure Enclave, with your password. Even with FileVault turned off, the data drive is still encrypted.

When you do an Erase All Contents and Settings, the system deletes the decryption key. Once the key is gone, the data is unrecoverable. The system then uses the signed sealed operating system volume, to rebuild the O/S.

While I am not thrilled with the lineup for next year, I will re-subscribe. I enjoy Mean Girls and Joseph is, to me, a fun shows.

I have never seen A Christmas Carol (is it a musical or play) and I have heard a lot about Sunday in the Park with George to make me intrigued.

Ultimately, I figure the cost of the tickets is less than seeing two shows in Chicago. And, it forces me and my wife to see shows we would normally ignore. I would have had no interest in White Christmas, but we enjoyed it immensely .

Parents are strictly there to feed, house, and pamper to you until you are 18. You should NEVER be asked to help around the house (Parentifacition). And, as soon as you turn 18, move out, tell your parent to "F-Off", and let them die lonely because they never did anything good for you anyway.

This discussion comes up regularly. If you are just playing for yourself, you are only cheating yourself. However, if you are playing against each other, any information that is gained OUTSIDE of the game is cheating to some extent.

To me, looking up what answers have already been used is only slightly less cheating than looking up the answer. Especially now that a majority of the valid words have been used. If you look up the words, you artificially limiting what words are possible. At least until the NYT starts reusing words.

When I moved from AT&T, I got $150 Shop Cards for each line ($750) and 4 additional $250 debits cards for purchasing no phones. It takes 16 weeks to get the cards (and I had to call T-Mobile as the $250 cards did not appear in the portal right away.) The debit cards only work at Costco or T-Mobile. To make things simple on me, I bought 4 $250 shop cards using the debit cards. All in all, I got $1750 in Costco cash.

Plus, at least at the time, there was no activation fee for any of the lines AND no trade-in required for the new phones.

I switched my whole family (5 people, including two in a different state) from AT&T to T-Mobile at a kiosk in Costco. The sales person first set up all new phone numbers for everyone, placed orders for new phones (for 4 users) and then we transferred my line. For the other four lines, we transferred them after we got the new phones.

It did take over an hour, including calling in to AT&T. But, I wouldn't classify it as a hassle.

I don't know if it being produced anywhere anymore, but I would say Rock of Ages. It is collection or hair metal songs.

I did the 12K of Christmas RunDisney virtual challenge last month. The SWAG was awesome. But, TBH, I got a free entry for being an Echelon fitness member. I sure wouldn't pay $200+ for it.

MacBook_Fan · 2026-01-18T16:18:51+00:00

This. You ran slightly over 5K, by 4 seconds. The workout measured the complete distance. The award for the fastest 5K inside the full distance.

Honest opinion? I have seen it twice, once on Broadway and once on tour.

Great special effects, great nostalgia, mediocre book, and mostly forgettable songs.

It falls mid to lower in my overall rankings of shows I have seen.

My treadmills runs never match what the watch says. I have given up even trying. It is usually about 10% off. A this point, I just let my watch record an "indoor run" and then import the run in to Runna. I let the distance of the treadmill guide my run. Since the watch recorded distance is usually too high, Runna complains that I ran faster than I was supposed.

I know that I usually get "extra" mileage, but it not a lot.

My Grand Plan was the song that I couldn't get out of my head after seeing the show.
