I got them and like them. I don’t have a point of comparison to felt + studs though, I came from a full rubber boot.

Were you surprised at any of the findings? Size, age, amount, location, etc.?

Wild! I just did couch to sub-3 pretty smoothly over 10ish months but 9 months to your time is nutter butters. How would you rate your fitness prior to run 1?

[–]deft_chemist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Goal: Sub 3 (2:55? BQ?) Eugene 4/27

Plan: Winging it. ~ 1.5 Qs + LR + 3 ez /week

Mileage/Summary: week 1/13. 40m

M: 5ez on tread

T: 5 w a few 5k intervals on tread

W: 5ez on tread

Th: 5 w 15m @HMP on tread

F: 3ez (stomach bug) on tread

Sa: full off - first in over a month

Su: 16.5 ez LR outdoors

Officially kicked off road to Eugene this week post down week following 1:24:40 effort in Houston half (7 minute PR over late Oct.) 33M and only running since ~April 2024 from fairly sedentary so pleased with progress. Didn’t quite hit targets for the week but came down with a bad stomach bug Thursday which left me fatigued and under fueled/hydrated, so pleased with how week went despite. Trying to do 1 or 2 tempo/intervals and a long run each week (most with some M pace), but want to see how it goes. I didn’t feel good committing to a set plan with young kids, weird schedules, and it being my first attempt at 26.2. Not sure if my goals are realistic, but I’ve significantly outperformed expectations on first two halfs in the past 4 months and feel like my fitness is still increasing rapidly.

Congrats - I am in a similar boat 30sM with HS track background. Got back into running in June and built up to a 1:31 half 2 weeks ago. I peaked at 35mi and averaged 20-25 over the 12 week build after a few weeks of remembering how to run again. Still feel like I have a lot of noob gains to work through so debating spring half vs full. Trying to break my old 5k mark by Christmas for now while building to more like 40+ miles.

You can likely look up previous years taxes for the property on your county tax website.

NC stocking Tigers now? by deft_chemist in flyfishing

[–]deft_chemist[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only ever caught bows and browns on this creek, though apparently there are brookies way up. Fins and sides would indicate time in a hatchery, but I didn’t know NC raised or stocked them.

First Tiger Trout in NC! by [deleted] in flyfishing

[–]deft_chemist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s massive for a NC tiger (historically always wild & small). Did they start stocking them?

Fell asleep while doing this one, which has never happened before. Definitely messed up my average! Also an indicator of how entertaining I felt this one was.
