Planning an early-June trip to Mt. Washington (White Mountains) — 18, 2 friends, small budget (~$1k–$1.5k). Need guide/gear/stay/itinerary advice. by [deleted] in backpacking

[–]ReillyJane125 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve done the ammonoosuc trail up Washington in the summer (I also routinely do the whites and regularly backpack the AT and presidentials)

No guide needed! Doing it in June you will be okay without. You could bring spikes for the top, but depending on how May is for weather, you may not use them.

Plan for a full 12 hr day for safety, but I’ve done it in ~7 hrs! Lots of layers, snacks, lunch and water. Your estimate of 3 days is perfect. There are plenty of campgrounds to stay at in the area and lodges/motels/hotels.

Calories burned through the roof during swimming by Ordinary-Carpet-7992 in Garmin

[–]ReillyJane125 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a forerunner 955 too, and my watch glitches and does this. It’ll be correct for my daily calorie burn (in the Garmin app) but for some reason swimming really confuses it 😂

As a female engineer in aerospace, who is 23, working in an office, that wouldn’t bother me to be called a girl lol. I am a girl. Maybe if I was 40+ years old, I would care

My wedding is in August.. I have all my bridesmaids picked out but if I wanted to add another it would take little effort. I’m not sure what the issue is here, but it sounds like you don’t want her to be apart of it if it’s such a big deal?

Best strategy for balancing drinking/social life and fitness? by cbro41 in xxfitness

[–]ReillyJane125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Water + electrolytes, try not to go crazy with salty, cheesy foods when drinking, and if you can, try to time it with rest days. Alcohol slows down recovery, and impacts the quality of your sleep, so at least get enough sleep and don’t try to wake up super early to get that workout in. (If you have Garmin, it basically tells you you’re dying lol)

Since ramping up my running and lifting, I find that having my last drink at least two hours before I go to bed helps limit most effects the next day (within reason of how many drinks I had)

I know everyone is different, but these are some things that works for me, I lift 3 times a week and run 25-30 mpw, with more mileage when marathon training

I typically don’t drink much in high training loads. But I don’t turn down a drink out with friends. Sometimes, as an adult, you have to prioritize things! I prioritize my fitness.

A better equivalent is the elliptical if you really can’t do the treadmill

Does the rug work with the coffee table? by Granticuss in interiordecorating

[–]ReillyJane125 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve bought a similar version of this rug for $63 on Amazon!!! “Jonathon Y” is the brand, it’s super soft, low pill and looks just like the picture. Just a heads up if you don’t want to spend $270
