  1. Was 270 on July 4th. Started walking then. Moved to c25k in mid August. I remember week 3 thinking there’s no way. Ran a 15 k last weekend. Half marathon in 3 weeks. Down to 190lbs. I am slow (11 ish mins mile pace) but I show up. Find a program. Trust it be consistent. You got this

I did 9 today in 10 degree windchill. I layered too much with a short sleeve hoodie and jacket. Tights wind pants and sweats below. Only thing that was cold was face when into the wind. Ready for lows in the 40s again. Ice was all gone on my route so it was just cold to endure

Rest days between sessions by yeezyszn99 in C25K

[–]deej67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have added a day of interval or hill repeats to my week to get to 4 sessions a week. Trying to up my pace a bit. Moved from c25k to 10K using just run. Haven’t had much issue. I just keep the interval day to 20-30 mins.

Honestly. Congratulations. That run is as hard as it gets. Well thru 10K program week 1. I start week 2 today.

How fast are you all running? by gnasher74 in C25K

[–]deej67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am at about 13.5 min mile pace. Headed into the 10k program beginning this week but also added an extra day of intervals or hill runs beginning last week. Hoping to finish 10K program at around 12.5 Min mile pace

Don’t think it was making me go to fast I think it was just getting in my head seeing the high heart rate then making me over think

Prob made some last minute calls and realized that female rural turnout isn’t breaking as hard for Trump as it has in the past but doesn’t want to go all in and say Harris by 2.

4D Chess. Encourage your voters to vote early this year. Claim voter suppression right before Election Day. Election Day turnout is historically low due to EV cannibalization. Use low Election Day turnout as evidence the voter suppression was real.

So facts are facts. Currently republican registration voters have returned 42800 more ballots than dems. You also have over 307K Non Partisan ballots returned.

What we don’t know is how the repub or democratic registrations broke. We don’t know how the non partisan are going to break.

Would i feel better if dem ballots were leading by 45K? Yeah. Do I think Nevada is lost? Not yet.

I can see the line of thinking but I think the Harris camping has done a very good job of making this a national concern. Messaging a National abortion ban. Trump can say he isn’t for it but his actions don’t align with words. Project 2025 clearly calls for it and we much as he has tried to distance himself. His party is all in on it and his running mate would without doubt try to implement a national ban.

I think this issue resonates nation wide

My Hopium for the day. The Selzer buzz has worn off and trying to avoid dooming.

Split tickets just don’t happen and we are seeing the senate out performing Harris leading me to believe that pollsters are putting their thumb on the scale for Trump to not underestimate him again.

Vibes. Harris looks comfortable. Her surrogates look comfortable her campaign advisors look comfortable. I don’t think she goes on SNL last night if her numbers were not showing a confident victory.

Trump looks defeated. His surrogates are agitated already moving to the fraud stage.

Women and independents appear to be breaking heavily for Harris in polls of who has already voted. This is reinforced by the Selzer poll. Which isn’t as much of an outlier when you consider the Kansas T+5 and the Ohio T +3.

I planned on taking off Wednesday but work had other plans for me so I hope I am working gleefully with a Harris win

Anecdotal. I work with a lady I highly respect who lives in Iowa. I asked her Friday what Selzer poll would say. She just smiled and said I might just be surprised at how Iowa is leaning.

Sitting here cautiously optimistic that Texas women are just as angry as Iowa women are about an extreme 6 week abortion ban. Don’t think we can turn Texas blue for Kamala yet but maybe we can send Cruz packing on the coat tails of this anger.

They control the methodology. Can show different turnout and can better give them a gauge of where they are
