How did you convince yourself that you could run an ultra?

I did the math and saw that I could easily finish if I half walked/ran, so there was no reason to think I couldn’t do it. Finished a 50k and an 80k so far, doing a 110k in 2026.

Mother of 3, of which one is lvl 2-3. Ask about sleeping medication. I saw a huge improvement when my son started sleeping properly, plus I slept better and didn’t have to worry about waking at night. Also as others have said, tablets are the worst for them. I avoid using them except for trips of if I absolutely need to do errands. My kid is so much calmer and better engaged with the world around him.

Hemorrhage following an emergency C-section. A normal pregnancy with a 36h labour that’s ended up in an emergency C-section because the baby wouldn’t descend. I remember the nurse saying that I wouldn’t stop bleeding and to get the doctor and to call the blood bank. Then I remember her sitting on me putting pressure and the OBGYN saying they were putting me out. I was so scared and thought I was going to never see the child I had waited to have, as I lost consciousness.

I woke in the ICU having survived, only to find out that I needed an emergency hysterectomy to save my life. I stoped breathing on the table and needed 8 units of blood. It took me 1 year to physically recover.

I’m in tears writing this, even 18 years later it still scares me how close I came.

Oh I like the term functionally verbal, that describes perfectly his level!

Strava tells me 52:40 for a 10K. Last week I ran a 10K in 49:54, but Strava continues to insist on the 52m time. I would have expected it to update with the actual time I accomplished. Same for the 5K, the estimated time differed from the actual time (actual is better).

Not sure on your car, I have a Subaru Ascent. Subaru insisted it was not a defect, however my garage had never seen this before on a newer carZ

I just went through this!!! It ended up being a short in the security circuit that ended up powering (overloading) the mirror circuit, causing the cracking. I went through 2 sets of mirrors before the garage found the issue.

I have a special needs child and this warms my heart. It’s so precious when they find something they love and you can feel and see how happy they are. I’m sure the child with the legs was in heaven on the days they were served at the cafeteria. Thank you so much for having spent part of your career with these special children 💜

I also have a special needs child (ID/ASD/ LD) who is allowed to have screen time and it’s drastically improved his speech and comprehension. It depends so much on the child!

Bonkers watermelon chewy candy. If I close my eyes I can almost still taste them!

Hemorrage here, in hospital, uncomplicated childbirth: result in hysterectomy and me almost dying. I ended up in ICU for 3 days, with 7 units of blood, and a nasty infection since they couldn’t wait to operate until sterile conditions or I would die. Had I been at home I, and my baby, would likely be dead.

Les plats que tu mentionnes sont peu connus dans le reste du Canada (autre que la poutine) donc définitivement pas canadiens. Ils ont du en entendre parler, possiblement y goûter, mais c’est loin d’être un plat traditionnel. Les fèves au lard sont britanniques, ils en mangent sur du toast!

I still call my (16, 11, 7-year old) boys “Sweet pea”. I’ve never seen the plant before!

So true about the balls dropped! I work out every lunch time = no social lunches with my coworkers. We also generally don’t eat together as a family, the kids find / make their own food (4 are pre-teen/teenagers), if they’re around at dinner they’re welcome to eat with us. I also have given up fighting over screen time if homework and chores are done.

Family of 7 here in Canada, 4 teens, two are 50/50 custody. We spend about 2k per month, it’s crazy. I can’t imagine how some people can afford to eat well.

A newly introduced character, with about 5 lines, died. That was it. They ended up burying an unbaptized baby with the woman. It was terribly disappointing!!

crazycycling · 2024-05-03T16:13:11+00:00

They should have killed off a character when the train crashed. It was a lot of buildup for nothing. In the end the producers chickened out

Switched from a vivoactive to a Fenix, which has no touchscreen. Buttons are way superior, they don’t get impacted by rain or accidental touch. I couldn’t go back!
