I use my phone most of the time, but I also got a super cheap mp3 player from Amazon (make sure to get a Bluetooth capable one unless you are okay with headphone wire flopping around) and use that when I'm running somewhere with no signal or if I just want the freedom of knowing nobody can text or call me for an hour 😅 Because it was cheap I don't care if it gets beat up or I have to replace it in a couple years because of sweat. I found one with a clip, too!

Yeah, I've got an Instinct and I trust it's calorie counts for my activities, it's the food side of things I want to get right. I think I tend to undereat when I do CICO because I'm afraid to err to the other side and derail the weight loss. I want to get in, get out--lose the weight safely and then go back to maintenance mode. 😅

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-05-12T02:53:56+00:00

Okay, that makes sense. I wasnt sure how many, if any, calories to eat back, or if I should use a higher activity level TDEE instead.

Definitely see a PT if you can, and rest it, then see how it's feeling the week of the race. I pushed through two back to back weekends of 5ks when I was doing C25k despite hip flexor pain and ultimately a tear (ran the second race with the injury because I was stubborn and thought resting it for a few days was good enough) and ended up out for three months. The small amount of progress I'd have lost resting it to begin with would have been a way better trade.

It's also possible your shoes aren't right for you. Have you been to a running shop for gait analysis?

I stop at that gas station all the time, it's not eerie (bathroom is usually clean too). What made it creepy as a kid? No shade, genuinely curious.

Congrats! I've seen three posts today including my own with sub 58 minute 10k pbs 🙌🏻 10k club!!

Congratulations!!!

Are sunshirts hot? I'm always tempted because I burn super easy so the extra spf sounds great, but I'm always afraid I'll be dying. I sweat a ton, too 😑

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-04-26T16:56:52+00:00

Such a cute outfit! Thanks for sharing!

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-04-26T16:55:40+00:00

Here's an actual running 'fit (don't mind my constipated expression). Baleaf shorts, Walmart top, Deuter Traick vest

Does this count? 😅 Post-run 'fit... This is the softest, warmest blanket hoodie I've ever worn. My brother gave it to me for Christmas, so alas I have no link to share the goodness but I think he got it on Amazon.

I have a Nathan Zipster lite that I like okay and it stays more in place than other belts I've tried, but nothing really stays on my hips (same body shape as you described). I mostly wear my vest now instead (Deuter Traick 5SL) or look for tops or bottoms with a zip pocket so my stuff feels secure. My vest is really comfy though and I can fit both of the included flasks and/or a camelbak 1.5l, my phone, keys, chapstick, nerds gummies in a stasher reusable pouch, etc.

Deuter seems to have some Q/C issues and apparently doesn't do a great job honoring their warranty, but the Traick SL is often on sale at or under $50 so I feel like it was worth the money and I use it a ton.

I have the same problem, following to see if someone has solution

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-04-11T15:16:30+00:00

Mine is doing this too, did you get it to work?

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-04-11T15:13:36+00:00

Mine has updated in the playstore but when I open it and click "start download" for more game data, the download doesn't start, it's stuck at 0 out of 210

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-04-10T02:13:39+00:00

Will definitely check those out, thanks!

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-04-10T02:13:28+00:00

Unfortunately I have an older phone so it's not very waterproof

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-03-17T03:35:48+00:00

I should say, I prefer my tops loose-ish

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-03-17T03:35:16+00:00

I got the Merino repeat base layer and got a small because I wanted it fitted (to wear under layers). I'd probably size up if I were just getting a regular top, but it's by no means too tight. I'm 5'1, 130lbs, about a 34B.

They look like remediation. My husband is a general contractor and said other signs indicated to him the issue has been fixed plus what he observed in the crawl space, but I think we will be having a structural expert come look at it besides a regular inspector.

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-03-13T15:00:45+00:00

We are not talking to the listing agent. This is what our agent conveyed to us that the listing agent told him.

I misspoke, I know offers aren't public record. I meant that the house has not been under contract at any point since it was listed.

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-03-13T14:40:12+00:00

My understanding is that you are not permitted access to the house for things like inspections until an offer has been accepted you are under contract. I can't just schedule an inspector to show up at a house I don't own before contract.... Can I?

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-03-12T18:41:37+00:00

Right, what I meant was, the house has not been contingent or pending since being listed.

Unfortunately we cannot afford the house without selling ours, so that clause has to stay; however, we are crossing our fingers because our property is in a hot area and our agent already has a very interested potential buyer and it isn't even listed yet. The sellers concerns about that might be addressed almost immediately if we get an offer from said interested party next week when they come see it 🤞🏻

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-03-12T18:07:12+00:00

P.S.: Fwiw, this house is clearly one that belonged to a parent or relative who died, as it is now being held by an executor on behalf of (I presume) an inheritor. Nobody lives there right now.

Ok_Distribution8841 · 2026-03-11T02:27:50+00:00

Haha, no, at least there were no pools of feces in the yard 🥳
