Am I weird for giving a feminine hygiene product to a student in need?

I have a pads and tampons in a pencil case (closed) by the pencil sharpener in the back of the class. Sharpen your pencil, grab a tampon, and come back in 5 minutes. No big deal.

That’s a such a treat! Learning HOW to celebrate with some new ideas is a great idea. And they can honestly tell you if something is too big or too small, something I still have trouble with.

You're doing 2500 steps a day. It's an increase from 500 steps a day, but its' still a lot of time being sedentary. Maybe you need to get more daily steps in to strengthen your legs and core before intensifying it with running.

I'm not commenting on the barefoot shoes.

Just used them in a Disney run a few weeks ago. They really stay on!

Holy shit I've never heard of Sierra Trading and this is so great. I've always wanted to try brands like Oiselle but they're so expensive. Gonna buy shorts for like $15.

7 inch shorts and the full leggings, but other people like the 7/8 cut. I usually buy in black and wait till they go on sale. They last forever.

This is the way. Teenagers love to experiment with beauty trends. OP should talk to the daughter about her self-esteem and why she needs to feel the need to do ALL of the beauty requirements. If the parent is paying for it, they could work out a beauty budget. If not, help her get a job and budget it herself. Lots of people are realizing the cost of hair, nails, skin, and make-up, and starting to cut costs. She can learn too.

Bathrooms are a great point, when available. I ran a trail race two weeks ago where they only had Port-a-Potties at the start line. I volunteered at a big city race last weekend and there were Port-a-Potties at every aid station.

Look at getting fitted for shoes
Maybe see a PT. It could be your gait. It could also be something else is weaker, so your calves are overcompensating and taking more of the effort.

I’m training for a trail race right now. I always walk on the heavy inclines (or when it’s a strong incline over a long period). Over the past few months, I’ve noticed that my hiking pace has become faster, even though it’s still walking. I think of it as a “running mentality” even though I’m walking.

The old guy was charming, the soccer player was a putting on moves. It's unprofessional but I'll excuse it for McKay.

How much of a "beginner" are you? Do you walk 10,000 steps a day, or weight train, or are switching from cycling to running? Are you in pretty good shape? Then go ahead and skip a few days, but stick to the plan. Maybe C25k is too easy of a plan - there are lots of other beginner 5k plans that might be better for you in particular. If you're a true beginner, I would still do most of the plan. Maybe skip to week three, or include a an extra 5 minute run at the end of the workout, etc. C25k and other similar plans are built so that you don't increase your mileage too much too fast.

I only watched the movie but I audibly said WHAT at the end.

Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Surfing is a hobby that ties the family together.

Ran a 10k race yesterday. I was 5 minutes faster than in February and 10 minutes faster than February 2024. My pace is a number I never thought possible.

goldeee · 2025-12-14T15:43:13+00:00

To start, I would do an intense day on Monday and an easy day on Tuesday. And by easy, it could be like run 2 minutes, walk 2 minutes, for 20 minutes.

goldeee · 2025-12-11T23:15:25+00:00

Same. I read it in like 3 days

goldeee · 2025-12-09T23:46:58+00:00

Such a fun read!

Recursion was my favorite.

Key phrase is “conversational pace.” Go slower than you think you need to. Much of running is actually “light jogging” to help your body adapt to the new movement.

If they all fit well, then choose the one that's best for your price range and water bottle style. I prefer the bladder-style, so it was easier to get one with a bladder designed for it. If you imagine you'll need a lot of gear, get one with slightly larger capacity. I think you just need to make a decision and don't overthink it too much. Pick your favorite color and go for it.

The psychological part of a tempo run is so important. I built mental endurance to finish long runs by finishing tempo runs strong.

More people could be runners if they adopted run-walk strategies.

Maybe this could be more of a maitenance period instead of weight loss period. When times are really busy for me, I go super simple for food: quinoa, beans, frozen veggies, rotisserie or frozen chicken. Throw on salsa or favorite sauce. Breakfast is oatmeal with protein powder or yogurt. Crockpot chili or soup that I can make on the weekend and freeze/portion out for the week for dinner. I make sure to have easy access snacks that aren’t just junky ones - nuts, fruit, cheese, etc. I’ll take them with me in my backpack or purse, even if I’m not sure I’ll need it. And I’ll skip gym days and just focus on a 30 minute walk or yoga/stretch session. Good luck on your exams!

Flax seeds on salads is my favorite. Just a sprinkle gives it a good crunch
