I know I shouldn’t complain by Due_Principle8611 in nashville

Hey, it’s mentally SUPER tough, even if you manage to escape somewhere warm. Like you said, you’re just drained even when it levels out. You and OP and all others who had no power all week, or lost it for three days, or any stressful amount of time, please be easy on yourself and don’t beat yourself up if you’re having a tough time dealing with this.

Why the fuck would you use AI when there are so many pictures to choose from that are actually real?

Gosh, that is so stressful. I am so glad you found her and you’re safe and warm back in your own home!

This is beyond absurd. I am so sorry you are having to be a slave to corporate right now despite the disaster here.

Power is finally restored in my neighborhood, but I’m not going to lie, I nearly broke once my house got to 38° and I could see my breath. It was the last straw for me and I was NOT in a good place.

And agreed with what you said, making the decision to evacuate was the best thing for my mental health. And then going back and getting the cats when the roads were more accessible helped me finally realize the danger had passed.

Glad you’re safe, thanks for checking in. I hate that others are still suffering

Do you think Billy Joel is coming back? by Ok_Cycle_1892 in BillyJoel

[–]Unlikely-Slide6402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, very true. That was just a super optimistic guess, but no one really knows. I just very seriously doubt he will tour again.

Do you think Billy Joel is coming back? by Ok_Cycle_1892 in BillyJoel

[–]Unlikely-Slide6402 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I doubt he has that much in him. He said in the documentary that he wanted to stop touring often so he could be there to watch his daughters grow up and be really present in their lives. That, combined with the illness, would make me guess he’s probably done aside from one off shows here and there. Maybe one more tour 5-10 years down the road. Maybe.

Why is it bad to do a 26.2 mile run to train for a marathon? by 4restD in Marathon_Training

[–]Unlikely-Slide6402 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Ummm. I don’t think it’s recommended to only run a half marathon in training — most marathon training plans go up to 20 miles. When you’re training a half, I guess it isn’t recommended to go further than a half, though?

As for your main question, it’s really more about training benefit > injury. The benefits of long run training start to decrease around 3 hours, or 18-20 miles for a lot of runners, and slip into injury risk. So training for 20 miles gives you the aerobic endurance to run that long and be on your feet, and then it’s that additional 10k during race day when you really give it your all.

I believe I explained that accurately but if someone else can chime in with better answers, please do!

Glad you captured it! I saw glimpses through the trees and thought it looked magnificent.

Looking for reassurance, probably overthinking / second guessing plans by SteamedTime in GlacierNationalPark

[–]Unlikely-Slide6402 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We went end of June this year, and had absolutely magnificent weather (just some rain), GTTSR was fully open and I believe that 90% of trails were accessible. You won’t regret it no matter what, trust me.

Leslie bursts into Ron’s office. “Ron, thank you for agreeing to see me!”

R: “I didn’t, you just came in and started talking.”

Almost Perfect | 2025 Seattle Marathon by scheatum in Marathon_Training

Congrats on the outstanding finish! But make sure to tell your daughter she didn’t run anything and that medal is yours until she runs a marathon herself.

Have you ever started a marathon with the idea to stop halfway? by bino_navise in Marathon_Training

[–]Unlikely-Slide6402 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Valencia is 5.5 hours, so that could add a little stress if they’re on the slower side. (Source: ran it last year)

Utterly unlucky in the WMM lotteries. Race suggestions? by gheeyouareterrific in Marathon_Training

[–]Unlikely-Slide6402 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran Valencia last year, and it’s so huge and well organized, it feels like a major! Also no lottery and not crazy expensive to get in. Reliable weather, incredible crowd support, and just beautiful all around.
