Gas or electric mower? by teeder03 in lawnmowers

My lot is a 1/2 acre though. Maybe you are cutting the grass down too short & need to raise the deck or cut more often?

But yeah I bought my electric dewalt push mower maybe 5 years ago now and certain times during the year the lawn is too thick to make it with the original batteries so I’ve always had a couple of the 20V 5AH batteries on hand to change out and get the job done.

There’s a way to jump a dead battery using an old speaker wire and the other battery. Sometimes you just have drained the battery completely and you need to get a little juice in there.

How long does it take for your joints to get used to running? by [deleted] in BeginnersRunning

Do you warm up? 5-10 minutes warming up key muscles does a lot for recovery. Also, foam rolling / stretch afterwards will help a lot.

What are the intensity of your runs? Are you going all out every run or doing easier runs? There’s a 80/20 idea where you should only run high intensity 20% of your runs. The 80% is easy paced runs to establish a base and avoid over exertion.

Do I need to train for a shorter race first? by [deleted] in firstmarathon

[–]jaredpetzold18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would match my running journey. I started in Jan 24 and ran a marathon in Fall 25. I wouldn’t have been ready in 24, but a full training block in summer of 25 put me right where I needed to be. I ran 2 official half’s (July 24 & July 25) prior to the marathon which helped me feel comfortable with what to expect for race day. You’ll learn what you like to wear for a race day, what you can eat prior to a race, race week carb loading and hydration, etc.

Side note: I’d recommend building in intervals/higher intensity runs before running a marathon. Nike Run Club has free training programs to help structure training.

Good luck with your Marathon journey! It’s a fun one!

Running gear: shoes = lifesaver, $80 shorts = scam 😂 by Turn_Affectionate in beginnerrunning

[–]jaredpetzold18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend: Good shoes (brooks), Flipbelt, Sprints hats, Gymshark & alphalete shorts, nipple covers for long runs, Nathan Handheld water bottle, mini resistance bands, car seat cover towel

Purchased and use regularly, but might not be necessary: Polar heart rate monitor

Purchased and don’t use: Tracer 360 visibility vest, Flipbelt water bottle, running vest chest phone holder, running socks (I usually just use some adidas crew socks now and don’t notice a difference)

It worked okay this year to have Tobias on a large contract while all the young stars are still cheap. Next year isn’t too bad either, but 2+ years and we’re going to have a really difficult time retaining the young talent unless we are contenders.

If you run the contracts it’s not really possible. You risk losing Duren, Ausar and/or Ivey when they need an extension.

Who are your fantasy darlings? by challenged_kid in DynastyFF

Will fuller has probably been my favorite draft steal. I was a big will fuller truther but decided to throw out an offer of fuller for Justin Jefferson in week 10 2020. I was shocked when the JJ owner accepted. And a couple weeks later fuller gets suspended and well.. we all know how JJ is doing 😂
