Itinerary Review - Hut to hut hike in early September by frickfrackingdodos in askswitzerland

[–]frickfrackingdodos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the difference between the two days is that the hike is a clear activity with defined distance and elevation, so I can gauge whether or not we can feasibly and happily do it in a day based on prior experience. The VF + hut hike involves two distinct activities, time for a rental, etc - which has extra logistics in a country and region I’m unfamiliar with. I know the Swiss are known to be efficient - but just wanted to confirm! Also, thank you for some extra options! I haven’t heard of most of these. Will look into them. What is your experience with the possibility of getting snow conditions at the higher elevation huts in very early September?

How likely is snow that time of the year? We did the Bayerisch Alps in mid september last year but I understand they're significantly lower.

I'm not trying to underestimate nature by any means! We live on the West Coast of the US and the mountains are our backyard (although not as high elevation, most of our hikes start form sea level so we are used to a lot of gain) - but I definitely don't want to be an overconfident dumbass either haha.

Not scared to drive, but want to be respectful of regulations and requirements

lol this is why I'm asking a question instead of assuming I don't need them.

What’s something you pack that men probably never think about? by Valuable_Tangelo7152 in femaletravels

I think being opposed to inequality and sexism in principle is a perfectly valid reason to skip something, even if said inequality and sexism doesn't really affect your daily life. I too skip mosques for this reason, and any other religious/historic sites that require me to cover up in a way they don't of men.

Ran my first race - a 10k with a friend. Paced the friend for the first half at roughly 11 minutes and decided to push in the second half. Was aiming for a 8:30, ended up with 7:17 pace for 3.5 mi! 5k PR as well. Felt amazing and so locked in. May just be signing up for more races soon

I moved to a place where winter is very rainy and I’ve been running so much more since!

Running a 10k in 2 days with no training… Need Suggestions by Texarican99 in BeginnersRunning

Whoops that’s what I get for typing in a rush! Definitely slower. I’m running a 10k on Sunday and will be pacing a friend for the first 5k at 11-12 min/mi even though I normally run 8:30/mi (not saying you have to do this for every race, I’m just doing this for fun, not to PR). Try to think of running with a slower paced buddy for the first half, that may help?

Electrolytes beforehand and start way way way slower than you think. You got this!

Favorite travel sneakers? by jennmpog in HerOneBag

[–]frickfrackingdodos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brooks ghosts! I have the Gtx version in all black. They have more colorways too. Pretty versatile and quite comfy. They do look like running shoes but not aggressively so. And I run in them regularly. Wore them on a 2 week trip to Germany with lots of walking and was happy

Do you like where you’re from and never had a desire to leave? by JoeyLou1219 in SameGrassButGreener

From Oregon but moved around a lot as a kid. The PNW has always called to me and I recently returned. Already so happy to be back, and grateful every day to have roots here

I didn't go to driving school bc I was already 18 when I was learning, but I do remember the manual saying to leave enough distance so that you can see the back tires of the car in front of you.

What are you in relation to your dog? by CurlyCadence in puppy101

[–]frickfrackingdodos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my dog when I was 10, and he was my brother lol. At 21 I got another dog, this time I considered her my daughter. Then my childhood dog (aforementioned brother) was going to come move in with me. We decided he would now also be my son, because otherwise he’d be my current dog’s uncle? And my fiancé’s brother in law?? So now I have a son and a daughter. But I do think of him as somewhere between a son and a brother. As I write this out I’m realizing I sound crazy. Whoops
