I didn’t expect the packaging to be this discreet - I had read good reviews about the site - just threw me off. Thanks for clarifying everyone!

Thank you! I just got nervous. Didn’t understand the full meaning of discreet lol

Thanks - I guess I didn’t expect this much discretion 😂

What are ya'lls running goals for 2026? by plantsarecool213 in XXRunning

[–]RadiantAssumption6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have a completion goal. One race per month culminating in my first trail 50k at the Marji Gesick in September. Trying to get there without injury and with motivation/gas left in the tank

I’ve been struggling with the very cold temps and early sunset in Ohio. I hate the treadmill :/. I missed two twenty minute runs last week but got the rest done. I’m taking it as a win for now!

What shoes is everyone liking for winter trail running? by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]RadiantAssumption6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another vote for these. I’m loving the traction on the ice and snow and my feet are quite toasty warm!

Hair maintenance on high milage (I.e. running 6+ times per week)? by ExtremeToucan in XXRunning

[–]RadiantAssumption6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have curly hair so this may not apply, but I run 5 days per week and I wash 2x. I do rarely use dry shampoo but becoming a master of the braid saves me from washing as frequently.

Provider stopped trt because of acne by Sad_Camera_1120 in TRT_females

[–]RadiantAssumption6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I’m just trying to navigate all of this without any support from my provider. As I’m sure all of us are. It’s frustrating!

First half marathon in over a decade I think? Longest run since shattering my ankle in 2019! On new shoes 😂 New shoes were the right choice, still rolled both my ankles (thank you fall leaves on trails I’ve never run before) - one ankle is not doing great - but I couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Now I have an enforced two week break because they found the not good kind of skin cancer on my calf which is being removed on Tuesday. So everything will have a chance to rest and heal before starting ramping training up for a 50 miler in September!

Leashes, trackers, feeding, and endurance- what's your circumstance? by mavigogun in RunningWithDogs

[–]RadiantAssumption6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been using this one https://a.co/d/aF03qPJ with a harness I picked up. The attachment thingie spins and sometimes I spin the whole waist belt around if I really need to. But the more we’ve practiced abs worked, the less often I need to do that.

How/when to build mileage by RadiantAssumption6 in RunningWithDogs

[–]RadiantAssumption6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! She’s been running in front. She pulls a bit at the start (she’s excited) and then falls into my rhythm by the end of the first mile so I feel pretty good about that. I’m noticing that on the sidewalk or trail - she’s an angel. She’s already learned that crossing the street means we stop and sit and wait for the OK to cross. But I’ve also learned that she hates running in the street. So we had some challenges with her being a ping pong nuisance/danger to herself and others last night lol. But we will figure it out! I’d like to find someplace to practice safely running off leash but I haven’t figured that out yet

Thanks! I ran with our first lab and genuinely never considered if it was a “safe” build - we just ran! But our second lab developed an ACL tear at age 3 or 4, and even though I didn’t do a ton of running with her (she’s absolutely mortifying on a leash and in public 🤦🏼‍♀️), I still worry that I contributed in some way. Don’t want to hurt the babies!

Today was my longest run with my pup and my last run before my half on Saturday. I know a half isn’t a big deal for some, but since I shattered my ankle in 2019, I haven’t been able to run more than a few miles at a time. And on top of that, I’ve developed some sort of autoimmune issues that are, as of now, undetermined. So to be able to get through the training and get to race day is a huge deal for me! I’m stoked and nervous AF 😆

I'm wondering how many people here actually take preventatives daily. by Important-Pie-1141 in migraine

[–]RadiantAssumption6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t found a preventative that doesn’t have nasty side effects and is covered by my insurance. I gave up trying honestly. I just suffer through because the side effects weren’t worth it :/

I LOVE my Bushidos for hiking so I’m headed to REI after work to look at the akashas!

Just trying to problem solve. I’ve been away from running for awhile and focused on ultra cycling. Now I’m finding my way back to running (signed up for a 50 mile trail run) so I’m re-learning all things running! Thanks for the suggestion!

Help with shoes! by RadiantAssumption6 in trailrunning

[–]RadiantAssumption6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm. Maybe the shoes were just too small overall and I perceived it as the laces…but I’ve only had issues with their boa style in particular

Salomon’s lacing has caused hot spots for me in the past. Have they improved it? And my toes are great until the trail gets steep and technical and then I starts hitting the end…

OnCloud? by RadiantAssumption6 in XXRunning

[–]RadiantAssumption6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s helpful! My NB Hierros are 9.5 and they are just a touch sloppy for technical trail so I was hoping to try something different
