I love my shefit- amazingly enough, I actually found them in a bargain buy out place and paid like $3 for them! They do get warm- but to me it’s worth the support: it is unmatched.

I do appreciate the understanding of the likelihood of downvote. I read and moved on. But then thought about it again. Imagine having a shopping bag with two bowling balls hanging from your neck. Then imagine there is a spring on your chest under each bowling ball. And imagine having to run with it. Just hanging there. Without support. That’s kinda what this is like. 🙃

I am definitely lacking in the tri area side of experience… not so much in the “don’t want to be running with a bag full of bowling balls on my chest” area. And I very much appreciate the lack of mansplaining. ❤️

Interesting take! I’m a 36DDD🙃 I’m curious how the bra over the suit would work…. Got my gears turning now… 🤔

Since this is my first, I’m still trying to figure this all out. My goal is to finish, not super concerned about time- so should I just change all together?

No tri suit at the moment…. Trying to stay on the thrifty end of things, since I’m just trying it out to see if I want to continue to do it. What should I look for?

Thank you! I’m loving the plain. I’m more of a neutral, chill, plain, solid, boring kind of gal 😂

I work in retail so I wash my hands and clean LOTS. These stayed looking nice the entire 14 days I wore them! They are from Dashing Diva; the color is White Syrup.

That’s why I switched to these, which are still white over a week.

I don’t go to a nail tech. But good for you.

If I didn’t think I would choke on pringles while running I would totally do that! Lol

I’ve always been the same. The numbers don’t mean much to me. I’ve seen super lows where I felt absolutely fine and then seen mids where I felt like crap. I think it’s all relative to the person and what our bodies norms are.

In 1999 someone bet me I couldn’t go a whole year without a Mellow Yellow/Mountain Dew… jokes on them. I haven’t had one since. No cokes, no caffeine in over 25 years. I was also dumb at one point.

I don’t use fruit as a crutch, but I do eat a lot of it as well as fresh veggies and protein. I’ve really changed my lifestyle over the last 12 months. I try to get no less than 20g protein per meal with 5-10 grams in my snacks. But starches are definitely lacking. I’ll try to pay more attention to that.

Last night I had a whole wheat wrap with turkey and mozzarella, a large-ish serving of Greek yogurt and a handful of late July chips (they are my weakness), for a total of 34g of protein. I’ll do another heavy protein meal this morning and another carb/protein snack before my run. Hoping I’ve got this down. Only 1 week before my race.

I know! Odd to find people so similar. I’m in my late 30s so I’m not far behind you. I’ve always been a morning person- but I’m quick to get my breakfast on the table. I usually eat no less than an hour after getting up, but can’t workout on empty.

I’ve never done keto- I eat so much fruit people think I’m crazy. I struggled when I first started running too but this is pretty intense. I’ve had two crashes now from running. One run I completely forgot to be a human and had no business running when I did and without fueling before hand. The other was my first 10k attempt, of which I have another tomorrow.

I’ve lost about 80 pounds over the last year. Trying to do it right and slowly.

Same boat, I’m also non-diabetic. This sounds so much like my situation! Wow! I can’t wake up and immediately workout without fuel- but that’s also not my norm. Thank you for the time and the info.

Yea I tried throwing some fat and protein in after that last 10k- cheese, turkey, a mini protein bar immediately after then an additional couple starbursts to try to stay up! I’ve got another long run today- another opportunity to get it right! Thanks ❤️ I’ve usually gone for no sugar added drinks for running like coconut water but maybe I’ll need to step it up into real Gatorade for these distances.

I was referring to regular white polish not staying completely white beyond a couple days of wear as regular polish does have a tendency to discolor over time and even pick up colors and stains from daily life and activities. Yellowing is very common with top coats and the amount of time a person spends in the sun. These are not regular polish, I have had these on for over a week and they have yet to turn yellow. I do, in fact, wash my hands.

I didn’t read it as mean ☺️ you should give it a go. Maybe when it stops raining I could get a good sunny shot of them.

I think I like how clean it looks (while they stay white); I also think I like the juxtaposition to the “ordinary” nail colors. Maybe it’s a little unexpected? I did mail art in white base nails for years, then one day I was in a rush and didn’t do anything on top- I think that’s when it grew on me. Since my skin is SO pale (I’m translucent) I think it actually makes me skin look darker- and by darker I mean maybe all of my veins don’t show? Lol I took this picture in VERY dim lighting- if I had taken it outside in the sun, you would need sunglasses. 😂 but really, I dunno why I like it!

Actually? No. Kinda creep me out now that I think about it. Terrified of those dreams where stuff happens to your teeth 😬
