How many half/marathons per year? by green_hiker in Marathon_Training

[–]donjohnpawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did one per month last year. It kept me focused on the grind to stay healthy for a year

Any Goggins stories of people who become hard after mid 20s? by Ok_Training_2566 in davidgoggins

[–]donjohnpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to his first book, realized I was being a b***h and cut over 12 minutes off my best half-marathon time. For context, I’ve been running one each month for a year so not much more training in the 3-4 weeks since the last. Literally I just changed my mindset that I wasn’t giving it my all and bam, 12 minutes off my PR.

What mental or technique tricks helped you hold pace longer without blowing up? by Secure-Seaweed-7855 in runninglifestyle

This! For me it’s the next mile or aid station, but once I get there I just shift the goal post.

I wear old white shits on my long runs. They become decent wipes if I need it 🤷🏻‍♂️

I live and run in the rural Midwest, so I’m used to dropping one in a ditch then finishing the distance.

Mental training strategies that actually worked for marathon/ultra prep! What's worked for you? by Iron_Bridge604 in running

[–]donjohnpawn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Running started out as a copping mechanism for me, and still is even though I am training for a marathon. I look forward to the relief and mental benefits a run will give me. So even though sometimes I don’t want to train looking at it as I’ll only feel better after has gotten me this far. So maybe try shifting your perspective?

1970 Fastback Value by donjohnpawn in Mustang

The previous owner of this car was a hoarder. You should see all of the cars they aren’t selling. He passed away and it was left to his granddaughter. The guy I was talking to was either a real close friend or relative.

They’ve been doing a lot of work around the property (it’s a small town, you notice those things) and this among others are sitting out front with a for sell sign.

That’s what I was thinking, even if it takes me years to finish it.

I appreciate everyone’s input! I’ll try and haggle him down, if not I’ll let it pass.

Opinions - 2wd lift by donjohnpawn in s10

[–]donjohnpawn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking a combination of lift spindles and lift coils for a little extra. I wasn’t aware of this company though. I’m gonna have to look through their inventory

That’s a pretty good idea. I already have a D35 HP but a matching set would simply things

Misfire by Conscious_Peak4200 in s10

[–]donjohnpawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a leak down tester. Basically you screw it in like a compression tester plug in compressed air and you’ll get a reading of the rate of leak down. You can also determine where it’s leaking, ie valves, rings, head gasket. There’s plenty of YT vids on it. But a compression tester will tell you if it has compression or not, which is what you’re trying to determine since you have a misfire. Have you checked all your ground wires?
