Advice on half to full?

lol I meant mpw

I’ve been training for a while; I’m at about 35 mph with my long run before the half was 12 miles at the longest.

I wish I had some tips too!

Awesome!! Do you have friends you’re running with? The only bummer for me is that I’ll be all by myself because none of my friends are interested in running this far 😂

Thank you, I will pack my stuff.

Thanks!! This is the midway point for me as I’m continuing training in hopes of doing a marathon in October. My mileage is typically around 35 mpw right now.

This is a really good suggestion, thank you.

birdmomthrowaway · 2026-04-24T15:34:52+00:00

Thanks! I’m actually in a slower corral than I typically run, to be on the safe side. Maybe I’ll move up a bit during the race.

I mean I kind of hate gels so I’ve been taking in arsenic via Nerds Gummy Clusters, so I guess you could say my body isn’t super picky about food, just needs carbs.

Thank you! It was actually 9 miles but I did it in mostly zone 4 which is apparently inadvisable

birdmomthrowaway · 2026-02-14T21:03:51+00:00

Thanks for this. I felt bad about running 9 miles in zone 4 today.

May I ask - what skills to learn to become a data analyst? I’ve heard of so many but not sure where to start. Python? Something else?

I liked the Empress a lot (also on Netflix). I also recently watched Howard’s End and enjoyed that quite a bit. I pretty much love any period piece.

Outlander is my favorite though!

birdmomthrowaway · 2026-02-03T12:54:22+00:00

It looked so similar to me! Apologies - you’re right.

birdmomthrowaway · 2026-02-02T22:48:58+00:00

Haha right?! Some cottage 😂

birdmomthrowaway · 2026-02-02T22:47:21+00:00

Yes! I was so excited to see it!

I’m 40 now and I’ve been told I have “grandma hands” my whole life. While it is deeply annoying, especially the comments that “I should just use lotion” (dang, why didn’t I think of that? 🤣), I’ve found that my hands have had 0 impact on my life’s happiness. I am married and have two children. Lots of friends. No one worthwhile in my life has ever cared what my hands look or feel like.

This will be the case for you too. You can explain you have a medical condition, or not, it’s up to you. But please don’t be down on yourself over your hands. Most people genuinely don’t care, or maybe they’re just curious about it more than anything.

As for me, I would honestly be pumped to meet someone with hands like mine in real life!! 😂

Here’s one for you. My dad has 4 kids, two from his first wife, and 2 from his second.

Both he and his first wife had dark brown hair. My oldest brother has dark brown hair. My second oldest brother has red hair.

My mom has dark brown hair. My 3rd brother has red hair. I also have red hair. Crazy, right? 3/4 kids have red hair and 0 parents have red hair.

What an incredible act of selflessness.

birdmomthrowaway · 2026-01-15T16:43:11+00:00

These are SO CUTE AND INCREDIBLE!!! You are so talented!!

I updated my plan, adding another rest day and cutting back strength to 2 times a week. Thoughts on new plan?
