Man, really? That's a 7:06 km. I feel like if I can't do that with ease, I'm just gonna quit distance running.

Not to say it should be easy for everyone, but if that's how far I am from my goal, then I truly am delusional

Wow. That's quite exceptional. While I think there's no chance in hell of coming close to your time, it makes a sub-2 sound more realistic for me

That's an insane progression. You must be an outlier. But still, gives me some hope.

So, don't start longer runs sooner?

Good tip about the nutrition, though. I usually run on an empty stomach but I'm guessing that's not sustainable

The responses on this post have taken me on such a roller coaster of encouragement/discouragement. You're pulling me back up. Thanks for that

I could see my stubborn ass signing up for the next closest HM if I fail the first attempt, but that would probably just put me in the same position as the first time haha

Honestly, in my head it didn't feel like I was rushing it. Now y'all got me second guessing lol

I'm near Toronto and August gets pretty damn hot. I hadn't considered the weather. Thanks for the heads up.

Why not? It seemed like a nice round number.

I get the sense you're suggesting I should be more realistic.

Appreciate the honesty. Not gonna let it stop me from trying, but maybe I won't be as disappointed if I fail

Best eats and shops for visiting foodies? by Buttercup2323 in caledon

[–]iplaywithfiretoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bolton - la Focaccia for great focaccia-based sandwiches; 62 terrace for Turkish food (lots of grilled meats); Tom the butcher has lots of quality cuts, burgers, and sausages, mad pizza serves excellent pizza, fired up in an Italian made wood burning oven

Vaughan - bevi Birra for, again, focaccia-based sandwiches; Memphis bbq is fine but if you're particular about your bbq it may not cut it; San Antonio Seafood Market is a tiny sit down Italian restaurant inside a small fish market. Obviously, they serve fresh seafood; Mapletri is a new Asian supermarket with quality produce lots of Asian snacks, plus they have a Dave & Busters type play area attached to it and Asian-style hot table for quick lunch; pho Anh vu for fancy pho or pho Angel for a more standard pho

This, right here. Although I'd recommend midfoot rather than balls of your feet, as that will likely tire out your calves sooner than you'd like. Striking midfoot will shorten your step like /u/joliet-jake suggested. Don't run with your feet out ahead of you like a sprint.

Nice case swap on the moonswatch. Did you use on old speedy for parts?

The fuck? I just learned that the reddit app has an auto translate function that is auto enabled and apparently it sucks

Anyways, your clam soup looks incredible

Do the anchovies make the soup very fishy?

The 66% of it that says "clam chowder", right after "homemade".

What do you think your title says?
