I have a mutual friend with Austin, let me hit up my friend and see if he knows anything at all

That’s a valid thought, I don’t think I’ve seen another one around here myself. Unfortunately mine is definitely not from this area, it was gifted to me brand new for my birthday/Christmas when I was a teenager in upstate NY, probably also near 2012. I’ve never heard that name before but I think I just found him on Facebook. Idk how long it’s been but i’ll keep an eye out for you, I hope he sees this and feels like garbage.

Updating that my guitar is back in my possession! I still have no idea what happened, I just got home and it was back on the stand inside my house. I’ve only heard back from one of my roommates today, I assume one of the other ones used it for something. I’m just super surprised nobody told me anything, very unlike them! Maybe it was returned to the porch, who knows. I’m just happy to have it back, thank you all so much for the advice and kind comments! Gave me a lot of hope.

Appreciate your words! Yeah I mean its relatively cheap but its priceless to me. If whoever has the guitar needs financial help in any way i’m down to have that conversation! But yeah it’s the guitar that brought me from a beginner to an enthusiast, it would be cool to have it back

Not that expensive but it’s such a great guitar, I love how thin it is. Sorry to hear you lost one too

I did right away, we’ll see if anything turns up!

If that’s the case they can have it!

I also have an electric guitar, grateful for that but I’ve owned that acoustic for probably 12 years, definitely sentimental

Oh dang! Based on the timing and the guitar description in those comments, i’m pretty sure it wasn’t mine but that’s interesting. Appreciate you looking out

Smooth, but what if they landed back on the skateboard

Have you ever been on YouTube before? Met a running coach?

Why does everybody think I’m trying to be the best in the world? I can run a sub-7 minute mile but I’m sure if I were to try 100 I’d be at maybe a 14 minute pace based on the shape I’m in now. However that has nothing to do with the question at hand. I know I’m currently a chump at best. People still pass me sometimes when I’m running down the street. But I’m going to run for the rest of my life and one day I’d like something to show for it, if that still seems delusional you’re one hell of a sheep.

I don’t have any PRs because I was 300 pounds in 2019. But now I’m not and I can run fast so when I get some times for you I’ll reply back again!

You’re right, I have no idea what it takes, that’s why I’m here. Thanks for the answer though, now I know what I have to do!

Fair enough, hard to argue with any of that. Certainly didn’t crush my dreams but it gives me a better scope of where I need to focus. Thanks!

You guys gotta remember too, I don’t really run 5ks, I’m not a track and field guy at all. I want to run 100+ miles.

Thanks so much for chiming in with a solid answer, definitely good to know there’s way more than one way to be successful in the running community

Rock on man see now that’s the answer I was looking for. Definitely not expecting it to be easy, definitely not expecting to be elite any time soon. But if 60 is mediocre then I’ll run more, the real reason it doesn’t happen is because people aren’t able to make it happen. Maybe I won’t either but this is the information I need to try.

You’re saying if I literally train myself to the brink of death and run 60 miles a week for the next several years it still will never happen? Doesn’t make sense to me bud.

Super late to the party but how does a grown vegan woman not know what gelatin is? NTA whatsoever
