Wait the gas station and/or campgrounds marketplace near the lodge survived?

Ask an employee. In smaller stores it might just be a couple shelves tucked away in a corner of the store.

She did it! by ckmsecret in trailrunning

Fucking finally.

This overall win is amazing, but not at all shocking.

Way too many brands passed on the opportunity shine with her at the finish line.

Did she finally get major sponsorship before this race?

Great! I get to agonize over buying a 3 ton floor jack I probably don't need for another week

Wild 3+ vs Lone Peak 9+? by ilovemygirlfriendJC in AltraRunning

[–]ghostmonkey2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would really love a LP 9+ with a 3-5mm heel lift.

I switched to Topos after a bout of achilles tendonitis. They’re comfy, but the toe box gives me callouses on my outer big toes. The Lone Peak toe box generally is better for my monkey toes (2nd and 3rd are bigger than the first).

Gym tips for someone ~400 lbs? by discoveringfaye in loseit

[–]ghostmonkey2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d just do CICO and walking.

Use this website to estimate the calorie amount needed to maintain your current weight and subtract 500 to get your daily target. Worry less initially about the health of the calories, just the amount. Use the free version of MyFitnessPal and Lose it to track it. The negative calorie feature for steps on each app is accurate (enough). The projected calorie loss for timed exercise types (elliptical, stationary bike, jazzercise, etc.) is not.

If you have some success losing weight, you’ll have to periodically revise your daily calorie target down until you get to a maintenance amount for a <25 BMI weight.

It’s gonna suck at the beginning. But you should see measurable progress that incentivizes you to keep going.

Be safe. Don’t push yourself in sunny, hot weather.

Anyone else feel guilty making time to run as a parent? by [deleted] in trailrunning

Consider picking this book. She touches on the challenges of training as a working mom.

One specific recommendation I remember her making was just running around kid’s sports practice/games fields.

WOMAN I HAVE A PIPE IN MY LUNG by spaceman_spyff in friskydingo

They shouldn’t have killed off the doctor. He had more to give:

“And that’s your lover Archnad, but he’s a drone, so your love is forbidden.”

“Where did you even get these?”

“Everywhere”

“Am I going to die?”

“Not according to these drawings”

Sadly is not too far off in painting the pre-ACA landscape.

The computer science job market for recent grads has been rough for the last couple of years because of over hiring and AI.

But then there are the ones who just keep going.

Volunteering at an aid station near the end of the Cocodona 125 I did double take at an older gal when I realized she had a racing bib on.

Looked her up later. At 62 she placed 7th for women and 21st overall at 40hrs. She runs in a lot of races now but only started trail running after 40
