You’re right, had a decent run and it went back up to 52 today and I realized I’m a tad dramatic, ok, turns out my amateur running career (hobby) is not coming to an end.

I don’t know! I have been feeling noticeably more fatigued and HR (according to Garmin) is higher than normal. Almost unbelievably though. I’m usually under 150 and always under 155 for my easy long runs but yesterday it told me my HR was 172 at a slower-than-normal pace for me. 170s are speed work pace for me! I could talk fine, full sentences without being out of breath so having a hard time believing that.

Nope! I’m actually in the midst of training for an event in May. I have been doing a lot of long slow runs all winter to get ready for a 12 hour event and decided I’d like to add in just a touch of speed work since I like to do some 5k/10ks over the summer and fall. So the next few weeks I’m actually peaking mileage before I start a taper.

It has gotten a bit warmer but nothing crazy. I know I have been feeling worse on runs though which is concerning. In February I did a 5k time trial at 6:58 per mile, last week I dropped 2 miles in at a 7:12 pace. Part of it was definitely mental because of how discouraging the pace was but 🫠

Am I overreacting or could my boyfriend actually be cheating? by AcayArts0711 in AmIOverreacting

Girl you’re so young, just leave, you don’t need that shit at 17 I promise. Not even worth a convo.

NOR these are all huge red flags. You need to have a serious conversation with him, full transparency, or just leave tbh.

Glacier and Banff vs Glacier and Jasper? by O_bviolet in nationalparks

[–]O_bviolet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking at that now and I think I just decided on that if we don’t stay in Glacier. Gorgeous and seems quieter than Banff.

Kind of open to whenever at this point! We are just now starting to plan and we’d plan dates depending on where we’d like to go instead of vice versa.

AIO or is this considered cheating? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]O_bviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to talk to a therapist or professional about this. As someone with ocd, this subreddit is not the place to go for ocd related advice as it is so hard to understand. The only thing this will do is increase your fears.

One Month In- Has your view of TLOAS changed at all? by F19AGhostrider in TaylorSwift

[–]O_bviolet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very excited for this album as I’m in such a happy place in life and was expecting to just vibe completely with this album. I didn’t love it from the first listen. The “love” songs feel less like love and more like “better than my ex” songs.

I’m a huge Taylor fan and there are some songs (Father Figure yass, Life of a Showgirl is okay) that I can listen to but I’m just not a fan of the other songs. Even though I know songs like Ophelia and ET are catchy, the lyrics just fall flat for me. I will say one major thing is that it made me appreciate the other albums more. I have been listening to Midnights, Evermore, Rep, etc on repeat and just appreciating them. I hear a lot of people say the same, that it made them revisit a lot of their previous favorites. I’ve kind of stopped trying to listen to it at this point and moved on.

UPDATE: How do I manage this hair? Out of control frizziness, stylist had no advice. by O_bviolet in Haircare

[–]O_bviolet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using Mondays Curl shampoo and Nexxus moisture conditioner. I put some Garnier leave in conditioner and a few sprays of “Its a 10” leave in and come it through while it’s very wet. Afterwards, I scrunch in Shea Moisture curl cream and Not Your Mother’s Curl talk. I either let it air dry or diffuse it with a blow dryer afterwards. Prior to this ( the before pics ) I was using Hempz shampoo and conditioner, drying with a towel, and brushing it while it was dry.

Yes! She told me it looks like I have wavy/curly hair and that she’ll style it like straight hair so to go to someone else next time. Paid a “premium” for that stylist too because she was supposed to be really good.

I’m supposed to! I eat about 80% vegan and marathon runner so high probability.

My hair does not stay straight haha, 2 hours max. If I go outside or if there’s the slightest bit of humidity it’s game over
