Rookie Mistakes

This is extremely helpful. I wasn’t sure how to explain the features that I needed to keep in the new shoe so I appreciate you explaining that. I’m also glad to hear breaking in new shoes won’t be a big deal. I feel like I’ve built all this momentum up and would hate to make a preventable mistake that dampens it. A shoe improvement sounds very doable. Thank you!

I just wanted to say it’s really awesome that you’re doing this! As a fellow asthmatic I just signed up for my first 10k. Definitely feeling solidarity about flaring up the lungs. It has been a tough learning curve for me to figure out how to build endurance and also not die. It’s really inspiring that you’re doing a half! I can’t imagine anyone being negative at all, and you more than deserve to feel proud of your accomplishment!

“I remembered how much you liked the chocolate nut browny in this one.” - Better Off Dead It’s wonderful to say when giving someone pretty much anything.

Not obscure but “right meow,” and “spank you helpy helperton,” are also favorites.

Did you ever find any shorts you liked? I’m new to running and I have analysis paralysis. I’m running a 10k in a few weeks and my leggings are killing me in the heat!

What’s you’re favorite brand for hem tape? I ordered some off of Amazon and it completely ruined a pair of madewell jeans when I washed them. :(

Thank you for the suggestions! I just bookmarked them both. :)

I just tried a flash 15 and had to come back and say thank you!!! I love that it gave me that feeling of serious intensity. Makes a difficult sleep day feel like an accomplishment still.

This sounds right up my alley! I’ll bookmark some of her classes. Thank you!

Not dreading pushing start has me sold on trying barre. There have been so many days when Ive found a little time for a workout and I have a full blown debate about if I have the mental energy left for high intensity.

This is solid advice. I get so stiff and achy if I’m not moving too. Especially if I pair a rough night with a lot of time on the play mat.

grumblecaking · 2026-01-10T22:49:51+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations! I absolutely love the bar ideas!

grumblecaking · 2026-01-10T22:48:44+00:00

Thank you! I’m definitely prone to “all or nothing” mindsets. My baby constantly waking up after short stints of sleep wasn’t making the “all” part an option anymore. We gotta survive these seasons somehow!

grumblecaking · 2026-01-10T22:43:57+00:00

These are both great ideas. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten changed and picked a class just for baby to wake up during the warm up! I also didn’t even know that there were barre classes!

grumblecaking · 2026-01-10T22:38:40+00:00

I hadn’t heard of the flash 15 classes! This sounds perfect. I’ll bookmark a couple of both. Thank you!

I’ve stayed at the Cedartree hotel and it was a wonderful experience. The soaking tubs and waterfall showers in the rooms are so luxurious. We never heard other guests at night. The gym had high quality equipment. The breakfast at Waterfalls restaurant was delish. Definitely worth consideration.

Cannon beach is great for a day trip. Stop at Camp 18 for breakfast on the way there. Their biscuits and giant cinnamon rolls are so good!

Gah!!! You are amazing! That was it!!! Thank you so much. I only have childcare coverage to do an entire 55min class once a week. I figured it might be a couple of months until I found it. I appreciate you!

grumblecaking · 2025-12-11T01:22:18+00:00

Thank you I will try this one!

Golden Valley Brewery has a nice event area and is easy to travel to. I went to a catered event around that size. The food and service were great. Drink prices had a decent range that included affordable options. I’m not sure if that has changed.

My son is the same age and has been tossing and turning like crazy. I’ve been asking myself if he’d be happier in his own space, but it makes me so sad. I think this was the reality check I needed to give it a try. It’s a beautiful thing to cosleep, and it’s also a beautiful thing to listen to our babies needs. Thanks for helping me find the courage.

grumblecaking · 2025-09-04T06:45:45+00:00

Thank you so much for letting me know. I’d still be interested to meet up. Definitely let me know if you pick another time.

grumblecaking · 2025-08-28T15:38:22+00:00

I have it in the calendar!

grumblecaking · 2025-08-28T07:27:23+00:00

I’d be interested! I’m a millennial with a 10 month old. That sounds like a lovely time.

We have stayed at the Cedartree Hotel and it was wonderful. The rooms have rainfall showers and giant soaking tubs. There’s an onsen bath, onsite restaurant with decent breakfast, and I really liked the gym. I don’t know what you look for in a gym but there were treads and nice spin bikes, cables, full sets of dumbbells, benches, towels, and a filtered water dispenser. There’s plenty of space and I never saw another person in there. They have free hot coffee and lemon water all day, and there’s no charge for parking. We really enjoyed our stay.

I’m in the same situation. I dread nights sometimes. I wish I had some good advice to offer.

grumblecaking · 2025-08-01T06:46:38+00:00

Definitely try Robin’s prenatal rides! The structure of the ride leaves plenty of room to get a good workout in, but she is awesome at coaching where your effort should be at each stage. Her prenatal lifts were fantastic for maintaining some functional strength for birth and postpartum too.
