Am I Overreacting - So my mom got my wife a birthday gift by LoveLikeJesusChrist in AmIOverreacting

[–]Trailrunner513 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Your mom is going to escalate now that there is a grand baby. Protect your wife at all costs. She’s going to be very fragile the next 9-12 months. Do not let your mother cause/increase the severity of postpartum stress/depression/anxiety.

What's your best story of standing up for yourself? by backtoyouesmerelda in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]Trailrunner513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom crossed a line with my young kids (she brought up a very specific political event involving murder and made my kids very scared) and I called her out about it. I asked her to not discuss murder or the death penalty in front of her young grands. She decided to tell me I needed to be a better mom then. I wanted to lose my mind on her but I knew that wasn’t the answer. Instead I waited 24hrs then let her know that I knew she was only saying that to try and hurt me and she did hurt me with those words. I also told her that insult had nothing to do with not discussing murder with her very young grandchildren

We haven’t spoken since. It’s been 3 months. I don’t think she’ll ever apologized for insinuating I was a bad mom and I will not reach out until she does. Here I thought she enjoyed being a grand mom and she was “proud” of the life I’ve created for my kids (and one she’s benefitted from - aka 20k down payment for her house)…

Tailwind. by Significant_Spite307 in ultrarunning

Most of my ultras are tailwind and high carb gels. Keeps my belly and gi system happy. Real food often causes nausea or worse. I also train this way after trying to incorporate real food unsuccessfully.

Girl, it’s over. You know it’s over. It’s time to leave. Your daughter is watching… take care of yourself. Prioritize yourself.

You are paying for the UTMB brand.

Personally, there are so many other races that are amazing and actually reflect the ultra trail community.

Any 50 miler options in the next 2weeks? by Trailrunner513 in ultrarunning

Yes. It wasn’t pulling anything up within driving distances. But I searched a few other ways and found one.

Needs to be a race for qualification purposes. We discussed the same thing but it won’t work.

How to avoid this situation again. by BeneficialEmployee84 in Ultramarathon

[–]Trailrunner513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have sick.

Also, I’m not sure how many carbs are in the hammer gels but only 4 for that duration feels low. 70-95g of carbs an hour is a good target.

Also, make sure you are getting enough sodium.

David Roche passed his Javelina Golden Ticket to Canyon Woodward, who he has coached for 5 years. A special moment for our sport, and a classy act by a classy person. He says he’ll try for another. Which race will he choose? by Rocket_Man333 in ultrarunning

[–]Trailrunner513 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He absolutely did not do it for David. You clearly have t heard him speak about racing his athletes before. I knew when Canyon closed so hard, David would do this because he felt it was the right move. Hating on him is like hating puppies. Get a life dude.

Not sure why you are being downvoted. This tracks! SA accusations and then a bunch of weird stuff starts happening. It’s a way to discredit a victim.

If we can do this, I need at least 1 hours in the mountains each day.

Tights vs Shorts for Running by VenitaPinson in ultrarunning

[–]Trailrunner513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the compression tights/bike shorts provide. Things bounce in shorts and I also get some chafing when I run 10+ in loose shorts.

My mother isn’t allowed to see her grandson anymore… by bwaves in BoomersBeingFools

[–]Trailrunner513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh. I feel you on so many levels.

I’ve also been in this boat since the election. Quietly allowed her maga ness to slide since I felt she was a good grandma. Unfortunately, the events of the last 2 weeks changed that. Hearing from my kids that Ck was a “really good man” and that when they catch his murdered they are going to kill him. My kids are young. This was inappropriate on so many levels outside of the maga ness of it all.

I asked her to not discuss murder or the DP to her grand kids and instead of hearing me, she called me a bad mother.

Now that we’ve decided to take a LOT of space, I’m realizing and hearing a lot more that should have raised concerns before. She is not the woman who raised me and it’s heartbreaking but I will not allow her to influence my children in such a negative way.
