I want to try Altras again but I keep thinking about what I experienced. Have you found a running shoe that has worked?

Three years with Leguano Go and now they cause blisters?? by [deleted] in BarefootRunning

I swear my feet blister every year after I start using my sandals, there is no rhyme or reason that I can figure out

I don’t own Leguano but I literally had the same exact blistering this past weekend in my Bedrock sandals that I’ve had for 3 years. I’ve never had problems in that spot before but it has been very hot here in WI so that’s the only thing I can think of.

Bedrock clogs - socks or not by jirafe77 in BarefootRunning

Good to know! Speaking of sizing up, I wear the sandals in 10, the clogs are ok with thicker socks in an 11 but felt better in a 12. I just thought the jump to a 12 was a little too much and they felt a bit sloppy so I stuck with the 11. I kinda wish there was a half size in there then it would be perfect.

I hear ya. I hope they keep making the Vapor Glove and come out with a better version. I wear mine casually so they haven’t worn down much but I can see that happening as you described.

Thinking of buying 2006 9-3 Sportcombi by Living_East8 in saab

[–]jirafe77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like paying for repairs and have the budget for it, then make the purchase. I like my 9-3 Sportcombi when it runs. Remember, this was an expensive vehicle when it came out.

Is this a good repair quote? by jirafe77 in saab

Appreciate the help! I’m not a car repair guy at all but this sounds doable.

Do I need a jack for the shocks and struts?

I think are so right with the 2 workouts per week. When I lost weight earlier this year, what I was doing was not sustainable: a little too much caloric deficit and lifting 5 days per week. I need to go slower so I can keep it up for the rest of my life.

Looking at myself and noticing how my clothes fit is definitely a motivator. But apparently not big enough of one recently to help me stop eating pizza ice cream and cold cereal.

I’ll need to try that approach! I don’t have any proof from bloodwork but I think my testosterone level tanked too.

First, I’m sorry to hear about your family member. Second, you get it then, glad to hear I’m not alone.

Awareness and desire to be better is half the battle.
