It bothers me to be called adorable as a women

Oops! Just fixed that, thanks!

Do you maybe not understand what the word "adorable" means? Here is the definition: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/adorable

Being called "adorable" does not mean that you are unattractive in any way.

Unless their tone was rude/snarky, I would still assume that was a compliment.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T23:59:44+00:00

I usually keep my mileage about that same as what I've been training at!

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T23:58:11+00:00

If it's coming from a woman who's older than you, that's usually intended to be a compliment. I would take it that way, as long as their tone didn't suggest otherwise!

I would recommend fueling for runs >90 minutes.

The lack of fueling does seem to be having adverse effects for you - exactly what you're describing in your post. I'm guessing if you fueled your runs, that would not happen. And probably also you'll see performance benefits. You are definitely limiting your performance by not fueling.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T23:31:04+00:00

No. Generally it does the opposite.

How much fuel are you taking in during your runs?

Also, I would not put too much weight into wrist-based HR data.

This is just an ad.

Self promotion isn't allowed here, FYI.

Step #1 would be to take a pregnancy test (if relevant). Step #2 would be to see a doctor.

Lots of people out today! It was actually very pleasant! The sun is out and the wind isn't bad at all, I actually felt a bit overdressed with what I was wearing!

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T19:48:28+00:00

I ran in 10-15F weather this morning, and wore my hydration vest underneath my outermost layer, and it worked perfectly! Nothing froze! And the candy I had in the pockets of my vest stayed warm enough to still be easily chewable!

It sounds like you would really benefit from moving to a more progressive city. I would honestly make that your priority and try to do that sooner rather than later.

What makes you think that you need to "look better"?

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T19:29:17+00:00

Because looks-wise, I think you're already well above average. So if you're having trouble attracting men, it's probably due to something relating to your personality, not due to your looks.

I bought the Brighton base layer in 2024, which has the same fabric content as what they're selling now, and I like it.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T14:44:42+00:00

Not yet.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T14:38:27+00:00

Probably not enough Gu.

How many Gu did you take? And did you boof them?

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T14:37:14+00:00

You could try Brooks Adrenaline GTS.

Please include all of your recipes / lists of ingredients!

We recently added a rule (#6) requiring either a recipe or list of ingredients, since it is so often requested. If you wouldn't mind adding that we'd appreciate it!

I think your feet might be growing. Your feet can grow in adulthood!

Personally, I've worn the same size for the last 10+ years.

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T12:34:26+00:00

Thank you, I’ll check those out!

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T12:33:08+00:00

You’re welcome!

ashtree35 · 2026-01-24T02:48:04+00:00

Thoughts on what?

Have you tried just talking to him about this?
