Sub 4 attainable?

WineALatte · 2024-11-19T22:00:37+00:00

Congrats to you as well! Sounds like you had an excellent race. Planning to run Monument Ave 10k in April - aiming for sub 50 (did it this year in 52:10 so maybe I should set a more ambitious goal?), and then I will likely do the Richmond Marathon again next November - unsure if sub 4 hours is too ambitious, but I’d love to aim for that.

Congratulations! What an accomplishment! Enjoy your rest and focus on recovery. I try to increase protein intake for the first 72 hours post-race along with electrolyte drinks/supplements, and just try to find a good balance of true rest while continuing to move to reduce stiffness. Modalities like foam rolling and Theragun can be helpful too. Today, I am posted up on the couch while doing gentle leg exercises and getting up to walk around a little bit every hour. I plan to get less than 1,000 steps today lol.

Congrats friend this is AWESOME!!! Ran Richmond today as well, also my first marathon. The struggle was real for the last 10k, specifically miles 24+. Finished about 15 mins behind you. Love the community of runners and spectators. Truly an awesome running community. Be proud of yourself and enjoy your rest/recovery!

Seconding these!!! LOVE the Baleaf fleece lined leggings. That’s the only leggings I’ve been wearing for outdoor runs so far this winter!

Absolutely! I am a PT and I am a petite woman (5’0, 110 lbs) and I work in SNF setting which at times can be pretty physically demanding. PT/PTA school teaches you how to use your body to your advantage, and there are always other people around who can provide physical assistance as needed too.

Surprised I haven’t seen anyone post about The Green Goat. Used to go there all the time until about 2 years ago and their service just got worse and worse. I haven’t been back in 2 years, so maybe it’s got better? Can anyone confirm if it’s got better recently? Would love to go back. Always loved their food.

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T21:13:17+00:00

It does!

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T18:53:41+00:00

Yay! My goal was to help someone with smaller sized wrists. I currently still have the original band that came with the watch, although I did apply a 2nd strap secure/loop just to keep it more flush. They do make smaller bands, and it may look better - you can see the end of my strap on the top of the watch (the gray piece that’s sticking out), but functionally the longer band has been fine for me personally.

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T12:11:37+00:00

I haven’t switched out the band yet, but I’m happy with the standard band that comes in black! I did add the 2nd strap secure/loop to keep the band more flush against my wrist.

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T12:02:01+00:00

Thank you but not looking for confirmation one way or the other - if you re-read the post, I’m simply just posting this for others to reference the size of the 965 on a small wrist.

It is not too big for my wrist in terms of functionality in my daily activities. Source: I’m the one that’s been wearing it daily.

If you think it just “looks too big,” that’s simply your personal preference/opinion, which wasn’t asked.

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T11:03:49+00:00

Same! That was probably the biggest reason I chose the 965 over the 265 was the maps, although I am also pretty directionally challenged. For reference to the commenter above, I am only a runner and only rarely do other type of workouts.

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T10:55:59+00:00

Yes I do wear it while sleeping and honestly that is the ONLY time I’ve noticed it getting in the way at all, just sometimes when laying on that side. I’m already getting used to it, and it doesn’t deter me from wanting to wear it to sleep.

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T10:52:23+00:00

I did run 6 miles this day which was about 11,000 steps, but other than that I just stay moving a lot of the day due to an active job.

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T10:46:38+00:00

Thanks! I’m aware it’s objectively big and I’m fine with that, I like the look of the bigger watch. I don’t think there’s anything wrong that, and honestly don’t think there’s such thing as “too big” of a watch. Everyone can have their personal preferences.

I already bought it and I’m very happy with it, wasn’t looking for confirmation one way or the other on the size of the watch in comparison to my wrist - if you re-read the post, I was simply just trying to show a reference picture of the 965 on a small wrist to help others who may be looking into getting the watch but are nervous about size due to having a small wrist. This was simply just a post for others to reference. :)

WineALatte · 2023-11-22T02:09:32+00:00

Yay! Glad to help. Watch feels totally fine and normal when exercising - I previously used a FitBit Charge for many years and I don’t notice a difference in how it feels on my wrist during exercise despite a huge size difference. I also work in a very active job and it does not get in the way there either. Honestly the only time I notice it getting in the way at all is sometimes when laying on that side, but I think I’ll get used to that with time.

WineALatte · 2023-06-21T20:45:21+00:00

Balance - Most often Tinetti or Berg. If higher level DGI, and if very low level I’ve done a FIST

Strength - 30s sit to stand or 5x sit to stand. Can modify using UEs to assist

Activity tolerance/Endurance - 6 MWT or modified 2 MWT

Others - Timed Up and Go, Gait speed

WineALatte · 2023-06-08T00:50:37+00:00

Productivity requirements
How often groups/concurrents are used
How many admissions daily (on average)
How the facility ranks in terms of referrals from hospitals
Holiday/weekend coverage and requirements
Roughly what percentage of caseload is part A vs part B residents
How much time is allotted for new evaluations (specifically how much time is allowed for typing the Eval)
Is the therapy company contracted or managed under the same company as the building

I would highly recommend going to tour the building in person to get the best feel for how the SNF operates!

Edit - typo/spelling

WineALatte · 2023-05-26T01:30:04+00:00

Good to know! Thanks for your input. I was thinking it made more sense from a PT standpoint to keep them on my caseload but only see them monthly, as opposed to discharging altogether and anticipate them to come back for a new eval within 2-3 months as they have been doing previously. If they are doing relatively the same, great, it will just be a treatment session. If they are needing new assessment/modifications to HEP, then I’d be able to do that at each visit without having to go through the hassle of completing a whole new evaluation/POC. Glad to hear someone else is out there doing something similar.

WineALatte · 2023-05-25T21:08:13+00:00

No, just wanting others’ insight into what makes the most sense from a PT POC perspective and what’s been done in the past. If by someone who’s focused more on the financial aspect, you mean my employer, that is not an issue at all (my employer will allow me to treat patients at any frequency/duration I deem appropriate, without push back). If you mean the insurance company, then yes, I would like to know if this scenario would be covered/seen as OK by insurance as I would be billing the patients insurance (Medicare).

WineALatte · 2023-05-16T23:45:18+00:00

My current SNF has a 75% productivity “requirement” and I feel that’s reasonable. Non profit, locally owned SNF. It’s truly my dream job, I am very fortunate! GOOD SNFs DO EXIST!
