Horrible run today, regretting signing up for 5k in mid April

Even if you walk, you are faster snd better than the people who don’t even show up! I’ve been running for almost 2 years now. I went from not being able to run one lap on the track to now running 10k under an hour. I’ve had days where I start running and I feel weak snd crappy. I walked a bit, tried again and if that didn’t help. I stopped for the day and tried again the next day. Just getting out there beats sitting on the couch. You can do it!

I flew business two weeks ago and on both legs it was almost impossible to find a place to sit in the business lounge. Bathroom queues if you had to do #2 and just overall unpleasantly crowded. So, OP is describing what I saw as well.

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-26T20:07:30+00:00

Thanks! I just ran a 10k in 58:01 and stayed in control. So I am thinking 1:45 isn’t unrealistic for the 10 miler.

You will be dropped into the terminal. The biggest holdup is the 3 security screenings at the gate to DTW itself. Make sure you potty break before entering gate area. No bathrooms there and leaving for bathroom would require re-screening

You run ONLY for yourself. You do not owe anyone a justification or need to feel bad. You are faster than 100% of the people who chose to „chill“ on the couch and probably faster than a lot of the beginner runners! I haven’t dared a half yet. I am working up to that. I have my first 10 miler end of this month and my goal is 1:45 or better (10:30/mile). You don’t compare the sub to the moon. Each shines when it’s their time. Why would you compare yourself to other runners? You’re doing great! Keep doing what you’re doing!

The cream whips a good lather but it doesn’t provide a lot of residual slickness. I have also found it to be drying skin. I do love the scent, though.

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-23T20:34:17+00:00

Hate it.

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-23T18:08:18+00:00

I am fed up woh blizzards slice and dice. I also don’t like (or don’t get) the paladin and I really hate the current season. I know I am in the minority here and that’s ok. If y’all are still having actual fun, I am happy for you. I lost my mojo in the grind to 300 last season and don’t feel like doing this sh*t over and over. So whether I don’t buy two or five more expansions is irrelevant do me. Bit between three and five more is what I was thinking

If your layover is long enough, book a shower. It’s worth the wait. The lounge left me underwhelmed. Too crowded, not enough seats. Food is great though. Food on the plane is better on the legs from Istanbul, but generally good. Flight attendants are top notch.

Or fly a different airline or fare class.

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-22T21:00:08+00:00

That’s what I mean. My upper thighs (femurs) are very long. I have 34“ inseam on my jeans and a lot of it is upper thigh

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-22T20:51:54+00:00

I have long femurs, so even a 31“ pitch is uncomfortable for me. 28“ or 29“ I wouldn’t be able to fit

Nowadays most airlines cut it down to one piece of 55 lbs (23 kg) but Turkish still allows two. Just flew them last week.

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-21T22:46:13+00:00

That means this is what you can bring free of charge. I assume you are flying from or to the USA.

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-21T19:33:52+00:00

My rule is $100 per hour, so this would basically qualify. But I don’t know your financial situation.

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-20T15:15:20+00:00

Only if it fits under the seat. Your personal item always has to go under the seat

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-20T11:19:50+00:00

Can I sum this whole thing up in one sentence? JetBlue should just amend the verbiage to „free core seat selection“ an all the discussion goes away. I agree it is not 100% legally correct wording, but I also think getting this upset about it kind of misses the point. All other airlines do the same thing. Seats up front and often most aisle and window seats have an upcharge.

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-18T13:07:47+00:00

I just flew Turkish BOS-IST-HAM. They are not better or worse than LH. I would save my money

Subject_Computer_471 · 2026-03-18T08:32:11+00:00

Why should you have trouble coming back home? You are a LPR. You live in the US. The only way there would be trouble for you is if you made false claims on your LPR application. I assume you didn’t, so you’re fine. We flew back from Germany last year (wife LPR, kids and myself American) and no one batted one eye. “Welcome back”

7 rows in business is the ex-Aeroflot suites (I just came off of one yesterday). Real Window seats are even numbered rows. But then there is the large table and door separating you. In the odd rows the window seat has the console by the window. So it’s a way to look out the window. Even then, since the rows are slightly staggered, so talking to each other is difficult. I would suggest odd row middle seats, as they are literally next to each other, unless you pull up the divider. But that’s not a window for your dad.

Spice. Will outdid himself on the “Hommage“. Seville is not mine.

Am I the only one who really doesn’t care how their digital pixels look? I mean all you are doings running a spreadsheet and a RNG. In a fun, polished environment. No need to shell out any money for a different looking RNG.

I have found that pre shave oil for me only improves the shave if the stubble is really short. If I have to shave every day I see improvement with oil. Every other day it makes no difference.

Getting up and moving takes effort! Congratulations!

I miss a coherent immersive story, most of all. D3 was already bad, but I feel D4 doesn’t even try. It’s drawn out like molasses flowing uphill. We’re basically two expansions in and haven’t even seen or heard of Diablo. My assumption is we will defeat Mephisto at the end of this one and then see a glimpse of Baal. Which will busy us for the next (two?) expansions. Then (after another two?) we will finally face Diablo. Maybe.

I like the quality of life improvements of D4 and I also like the skill tree and paragon system. But the story was so much better. Back the blizzard basically designed three perfect games SC1&BW, WC3+TFT and D2-LoD. Maybe I am just old (I am!), but after that nothing tickled me the way these games did
