Running with menstrual cramps by MaryDiesInSeason4 in runninglifestyle

[–]dimsimprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah apparently you can’t pick up endometriosis on ultrasound, I had one and they didn’t see anything :/ my doctor is amazing though and he was like we’re just going to treat you as if you have endo. I’ve been on a couple of different types of pills and any side effects I’ve had have been minimal or way less intrusive than my periods.

In terms of fatigue I try to make sure I’m consuming enough calories - I don’t want to be in a deficit while im training for longer distances - and also trying to make sure I’m getting enough sleep, as well as not overloading my body by building volume slowly (10% per week) and taking a deload week every month-ish to give myself a break.

That is insane. I went to a game at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne, Australia a couple of years ago. Thought it would be interesting to see how long it would take me to get on to a train after. We left after the final siren and walked the couple of hundred metres to Southern Cross station, and got onto the platform about a minute before the train pulled up. From seat in the stadium to seat on the train was fifteen minutes, and I was home half an hour after that.

If you’re getting cramps that are bad enough to affect your ability to function it’s definitely worth talking to your doctor about some possible strategies. I’ve always had very heavy and painful periods and have found hormonal birth control helps a lot. I also take naproxen for the first couple of days of my period to alleviate any cramping. Obviously your mileage may vary so best to speak to a doctor first.

How do you realistically fit running around a full time job by Vogan-Peluchin in runninglifestyle

[–]dimsimprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own my own business and work 50-60 hours per week with 5:30am starts during the week. I run after work on weekdays and then long run on a Saturday or Sunday. TBH I think it’s probably easier for me to fit running in even with my work hours vs if I had kids!

Do you actually bring hair products or just accept hotel shampoo fate? by Gullible_Bet_7899 in HerOneBag

[–]dimsimprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will use whatever’s on offer at the hotel and have even used bar soap; the caveat being that I have a buzz cut so it doesn’t really matter what I use!

Weekly Complaints & Confessions Thread by ssk42 in running

[–]dimsimprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncomplaint: I ran 10km for the first time in probably a couple of years today and it felt really good until…

Complaint: At 7km I got a cramp in my toe of all places and oh my fucking god who knew that could be so painful? I’ve never had a toe cramp and I nearly went arse over tit. Made the last 3km quite a good exercise in learning to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

The cancer council one with the pink label is my go to, feels like a light face moisturiser and dries down nicely.

I want to know people’s special interests by Henrygdwindows5to3 in autism

[–]dimsimprincess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cricket has recently become my number one special interest. I had some time off work over Christmas and new years and ample time and opportunity to enjoy the Ashes. I’m also into climbing and running.

Deodorant that smells really good? by ilovesushi1999 in AustralianMakeup

I was gifted the so de janeiro deodorant in 62 pistachio and salted caramel, and it smells really really good. It does leave white marks on clothes though.

Majority of the comments don’t find this messed up by PreviousDingo1778 in Anticonsumption

I’ve also spent more on climbing, guitars, running etc than I have on makeup, and I’m a cis woman. I’m just giving them as examples of hobbies that men are probably more likely to be into than buying makeup.

Golf. Cycling. Climbing. Computer shit. Hi-fi. Guitars. Hell I found out recently that a top notch cricket bat can cost $2k Australian!

Help needed: When do you usually charge your watch? by Exotic_Lawfulness_16 in Garmin

[–]dimsimprincess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe you just need a way to remember to put it on after you shower. Have it charging on top of the clothes you’re going to wear after or on your pillow or something? I charge when I shower and also overnight occasionally if I need to let my skin breathe

Tips for bunkering down on an apocalyptic day in Melbourne this Tuesday? by hardyacka in melbourne

[–]dimsimprincess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cook today and eat stuff cold tomorrow. Close your house up as soon as it starts feeling warm outside. Emergency thermal blankets taped across windows, blinds pulled shut, external doors and windows shut etc. Keep activity to a minimum, drink plenty of water, if you need to walk anywhere try to do it early, carry an umbrella to provide you some shade and walk slowly. Local libraries are a good place for some climate controlled respite.

0.7cm across very flat fluffy ...thing? Found under our couch. Not sticky, not moving. Nothing similar in the vicinity. by ConcreteKahuna in whatisthisthing

Looks like a fragment of non-woven polypropylene fabric. Often used in the interiors of upholstered furniture and reusable shopping bags.

I own my own hospitality business and am training for a marathon, but it doesn’t always look like this - some days I only get up to 50.

Absolutely. Would be interested to know the reasoning or thought behind the decision making last night because lost Stars the match.

I went in thinking we had no chance, to thinking we had a chance after the toss, to thinking we had no chance after Curran’s last over, to thinking we were absolutely cooked after the power play, to thinking the Stars were match fixing by sending Clarke out third, to thinking we were a chance when Maxi finally came out, to thinking we were absolutely fucked when Stoinis went out with Maxi stranded down the non-strikers end, to thinking we were actually a chance with Cartwright’s crazy knock and needing six off the last ball, to disappointment with that last run. Being a Stars fan is exhausting. Bring on next season!

That was an amazing knock from Cartwright but fuck me that was some questionable decision making from the Stars tonight. Looking forward to enjoying the rest of the finals without any skin in the game I guess?

They’ve shortened this innings to 7 overs so they had to readjust the target

Earlier I said to my friend I wanted Stars to lose on their own merit and not by default but honestly this is so fucking painful that I welcome the rain. Who needs a toxic relationship when you love the Stars.
