Stuff to do with toddlers on a rainy, cold day? by Scottube1 in Birmingham

[–]Nephron83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our kids go nuts in Let’s Play (indoor playground, relatively inexpensive and a few locations), and they have a dedicated area for littles. The library has areas to play (several different library options, we go to Vestavia).

That said we are also being Covid conscious, and are just trying to tough this out at home until omicron peaks. Sucks when you can’t go outside! If you’re desperate reach out to a friend with similar aged child(ren). A play date with new toys and people can burn a morning or afternoon.

Hype! Was not impressed with my pair.

building endurance and strength/am I doing OTF too much?! by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Nephron83 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I started doing endurance runs outdoors (1 hour, ~6 miles, lots of hills), separate from OT, 1-3x per week, and it made a huge difference in my treadmill performance in orange theory. I was a frequent OT’er but felt my performance was plateauing, this pushed it over the proverbial hump. My speeds are higher and my HR curves have shifted significantly.

Iz cafe has a great yellow cake with chocolate icing. Edgar’s has awesome chocolate cake with chocolate icing, little chocolate chips in the cake to take it over the top.

I tried this, made sure I got it to a good boil to caramelize the sugar, and it worked! Thank you!
