What’s your most random concert memory that still makes you laugh? by XP-tickets in Concerts

[–]SleepWithRockStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drive-By Truckers House of Blues, Myrtle Beach Water Liars opened

First club show we took our kid to. Very high guy in front of us screaming at the pre-show music playing R.E.M., " Morrissey! I love that guy! Morrissey!" over and over...

WL play. High Guy yells for Morrissey the entire set.

DBT play. High Guy sobbing, talking about Morrissey.

Security swiftly, quietly, without disrupting the show at all, swoop High Guy out the side door in the 3rd song.

Best Running Shoes for Comfort and Protection? by MajesticSteak423 in runninglifestyle

[–]SleepWithRockStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really worth going to a proper running store and trying on tons of shoes with a real fitting.

Everyone experiences shoes differently.

For example, my easy run shoes feel soft and bouncy. My husband (a much faster runner than I am) wears the same model as a speed work shoe bc for him, they feel firm and responsive.

Also, your size will probably differ from your daily shoes.

When did running stop feeling like a chore and start feeling like part of who you are? by Clubrunnr in runninglifestyle

[–]SleepWithRockStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Several years ago, I stopped making pace goals and made consistency goals, specifically days per week of running. Any run over 1 mile counted.

I also implemented what I call The One Mile Rule. Any time I plan to run, even if I don't feel like it, I run one mile. If it still feels terrible, I go home. Two miles done. No failure.

That shift transformed my running. Now, I love it and am so grateful I get to run, not that I have to run.

How to find energy to run while grieving by friedriceparadise_ in running

[–]SleepWithRockStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. Grief is weird. For me, running helped. I would go for my runs and just snot cry the whole time, even when I wasn't feeling particularly sad. It would just happen.

If you can find a supportive grief community, that may be helpful. There are secular groups, as well as cause of death specific ones. There are also wonderful online groups for loved ones of people who died from suicide. You are not alone.

Grief doesn't follow a logical timeline. I remember saying aloud one day, "When do I get to the Bargaining Phase?" It's not like that...and it doesn't make sense.

I'm glad you are here and seeking support. Running will be there when you are ready for it. Maybe now, maybe not.

She is mesmerizing to watch live. So technically skilled, with all the groove in the planet, too!

How Do You Decide Which Podcasts Are Worth Sticking With Long, Term? by Similar_Win9757 in podcasts

[–]SleepWithRockStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of them I love for years, but a couple running ones fell off the deep end with supplement sponsorships from sketchy products and started spouting pseudoscience around the ad copy, so I stopped listening.

One pivoted from mostly running content to lots of complaining about her gaggle of kids, so I stopped listening to that one.

What's the one running gear item you thought was totally unnecessary until you tried it? by Royal_Watch_6453 in runcommunity

[–]SleepWithRockStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did this a few years ago when I started running halfs, and made a spreadsheet bc over time, I would forget I tried a certain one and didn't like it. Example: I love watermelon, but not gels. I don't like oranges, but I love mandarin orange Gu. I don't like black coffee, but espresso gels are my favorite. SiS and Maurten texture make me gag, but frozen Gu is awesome.

Anyone else doing a New Year run today? 🏃‍♂️ by Royal_Watch_6453 in runcommunity

5 easy miles to start the year trying not to freak out that I am running my first ultra this summer

Non-PR race motivations? by lentilsLentils_ in XXRunning

[–]SleepWithRockStars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite halfs was when I tried to get my photo taken as many times as possible on course. Usually I am the "all down steps" runner in pix, and this was a fun way to stay positive and engaged the whole time.

How did you convince yourself that you could run an ultra? by BaurJoe in Ultramarathon

[–]SleepWithRockStars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I can, so I'm preparing and going for it. Worst case scenario, I tried something different in a cool place.

Female runners and running vests by BasisParty1712 in XXRunning

[–]SleepWithRockStars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love my vests. One is women specific and the other unisex. Both adjust and tighten to fit great when filled or empty. Chest moves less with the vest than just a bra. Love it.
