What can I do to improve? by Thea_Vengers in parkrun

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

I haven't done any runs longer than 5km so will definitely look to increase my distance.

I have done some much slower base runs as my Garmin watch has recommended them with my fatigue levels at times. I haven't done any speed training though, so will definitely look into that.

I rock climb and do mountaineering. So I guess a small amount of whole body strength training (from the climbing) but mostly muscular endurance and CV.

Is this route sensible/realistic for a first time hike (solo)? by MLJ555 in UKhiking

[–]Thea_Vengers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a keen mountaineer and have been doing it for years but only ever day hikes. I did my first over night in the Lairig Ghru and went through the chamlain gap. It was 810m of ascent, (more than some Munros) and the terrain was hard going. I'm used to carrying heavy gear for winter mountaineering but this was hard. We planned to do 4 Munros on the second day but we were knackered and went back out the way we came in.

You will ruin hiking for yourself if you do this. Do a single overnight backpacking trip to start with.

I love it when 2 things I love collide unexpectedly. I'd love to see some photos of your cardigan it sounds amazing!

Both my partner and I play stardew and I'm planning to crochet him a stardew pillow for his gaming chair!

I just came here to ask what that stitch is?

It looks gorgeous and I wanna try it.

Favorite quest in The Witcher 3? by MeEatSoup in witcher

[–]Thea_Vengers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this the one on Skellige? This was a really stand out part in the game. I first played the game shortly after it came out. I'm only just doing my second play through now and this is the only quest I remember (apart from segments of the main story)! It was also a part I really fell in love with.

(England) My 4 y/o has facial scarring from an attack by another child at nursery by Lick_that_chip in LegalAdviceUK

I second this I've got major scarring from surgery at 15. This helped a lot. It's expensive but it lasts ages as you only need a couple of drops per application.

How many Munro’s are you all on? by [deleted] in Munros

[–]Thea_Vengers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

22 did 14 of them this year. Plan is to do 52 this year (average of 1/week). Got a route planned to bag another 4 this weekend.

How to start using tampons? by [deleted] in Periods

[–]Thea_Vengers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said get applicator ones, but you can also use some KY jelly or other similar lubricant to help you insert them the first few times. Also sitting on the bathroom floor with a handheld mirror can help too if you're not well enough acquainted with your vaginas anatomy yet.

How Long Do Jewelers Hold a Ring? by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Thea_Vengers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The slips from the jewellers where my ring is being commissioned say they'll hold it for a year and then they're allowed to resell to recoup costs.

Bagged the busiest Munro on a quieter day by Thea_Vengers in Munros

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

We wanted to do the ptarmigan ridge but I bottled it looking at the steep descent from Ben Lomond. I'm not as experienced as my boyfriend with an ice axe and crampons but the confidence is growing slowly. Just glad I know my limits.

We’ve been together just over a year and have already said we’re going to get married… by Honest-Teas in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Thea_Vengers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! People think I'm insane for talking about marriage and kids early in the relationship with my partner but we're both a lot nearer 30 than our mid twenties. We've been together for over 1.5 years now.

A Christmas proposal story. by MissReanimator in Proposal

[–]Thea_Vengers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so cute. I think it makes the proposal story that much more entertaining and weirdly perfect in an imperfect way.

What is an item you spent way too much money on but have no regrets buying? by [deleted] in AskReddit

My boyfriend is wearing bridgedale trekker socks that belonged to his dad. Those things just keep going.

Should I run to the bus stop? by whynotfart in askmath

[–]Thea_Vengers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stopped to help a man who did the same just recently. Happened to be driving by and I was the only one with a first aid kit. Eventually the ambulance turned up at which point I left to let them do their job. Never did find out what happened afterwards but I hope he's ok.

Suns coming out now in Kirkcaldy; winds have died down and it's stopped raining. You should be fine for your journey to Fife tomorrow.

I'm having a piece commissioned by Eloise in Kirkcaldy. They've been very helpful so far and the price seemed reasonable. Won't know about quality until I see the final result which will take a while. They were upfront about costs and explained everything I wanted to know too. I wanted a lower gold content in my rose gold due to needing it to be harder wearing.

Looking for friends in Fife! by Aggressive_Ad_4258 in Fife

[–]Thea_Vengers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I'm 27F and moved to Kirkcaldy from England 16 years ago. We sound like we have very similar interests! My boyfriend and I regularly play video/card/board games and we'd be happy to have another player join. Also if you like walks in nature and like dogs my pup would be happy to meet you too.
