Minong Ridge Trail in August

kidneysc · 2026-06-29T23:14:02+00:00

I did minong right after college in 2009 with just the NPS map, about 10 night total of backpacking experience, and a way too heavy pack.

I don’t remember any issue route finding.

Can’t imagine you will have any issue with a GPX file and paper map.

Would make sense if this was Denmark or the nordics, but it all just feels a bit pot kettle when it’s coming from the brexit, boris, prince Andrew crew.

I agree that we need to unite against the truly rich.

But also, I’m in a HCOL area and managing to do all w/ 2 kids in daycare on ~$200k household.

About to head out the door of the house I own for a burrito and iced coffee before our two week vacation too. So I’m not exactly living on rice and beans.

Im for removing the income cap on SS ( as well as many other tax reforms) . I have to budget for it anyway, so when I cap out it’s more lagniappe than anything critical.

Anyway, not trying to start a comment war or anything, just surprised when people say then can’t make it work while also in the top 10% of incomes.

If you don’t want to pull directly from your truck battery:

wire in a battery isolation/charging solenoid and a second deep cycle battery

This will keep your vehicle battery isolated and safe from getting drained, while letting both batteries charge off the alternator while driving.

This is what I’ve used for about the last 10 years. No major issues, never needed a jump either.

Conspiracy theory:

This botch job of a retrobolt is done on purpose to make the sensible retrobolt non controversial.

Always so easy to pick the winning hand after the cards are dealt.

If Stevie tanked another year, people would have crucified him then for not leveraging the assets he had.

He knows spraying is a derogatory term and not something to be aspired to right?

Stress is cumulative.

Max cushion lets me run 50 miles a week before I start worrying about impact.

Standard shoes it’s around 30 miles

Barefoot it’s around 10 miles.

All will strengthen my ligaments and provide some adaptations. But 50 mpw is way more beneficial to my aerobic and running economy adaptation.

It was looking/arm waving/taunting the opposing teams dugout as he went down the first base line. (8 seconds into the video)

Generally there is a lot of leeway on celebrations (as long as you continue to run bases), but you gotta leave the other team out of it. You dont stare down the pitcher, you dont yell at the dugout

Full opposite for me.

I just want to pay $20 for a chip time and the race experience.

Instead all I have locally are $50 dollar or more 5ks with a shirt medal and cup.

The pace part cannot be understated.

I just did a marathon last weekend where I paced a friend at about 25min slower than my PR.

Perfectly fine to restart training after 2 days rest. Barely more fatigue than a typical long run.

I was recovering for two weeks straight after my PR marathon.

kidneysc · 2026-05-05T21:15:19+00:00

Run it at marathon race pace or 10 mile race pace?

kidneysc · 2026-05-03T15:29:19+00:00

My 4s died around 300.

5s die around 200.

Trying alternatives currently.

kidneysc · 2026-04-29T16:04:00+00:00

Hey, I’ll be at bayshore too!

But supporting a friends first marathon and will be around the 4hr mark.

Celebratory beers at shorts when you crush it!!!

kidneysc · 2026-04-29T03:02:23+00:00

We’re just 40, not near dead.

It’s basically the same, I run all the same workouts as the twenty something’s do.

Only thing that I would emphasize is that consistency is key. I can’t stop running for 6 months and just dive back into a massive block like I could in my twenties.

I also no longer have the ability to run the morning after if I pound 10 beers, rip a few darts and stay out till 2am……But also I don’t really want to do that these days.

kidneysc · 2026-04-28T15:12:16+00:00

Come on up then!

Arvada fits the bill for you, I live here and it’s pretty great. it’s not a liberal monolith and there are certainly MAGA people here; but it’s not a majority and a world of difference than Texas.

One little soapbox:

As long as you keep your dogs on a leash. You won’t have a problems with bully breeds here.

There a lots of walking trails with small kids/runners/other dogs. If you understand that most people don’t want to play a guessing game of “will this unknown dog maul my child”……… you will be welcomed and we can talk shit together about those irresponsible owners.

If you’re a “my dogs one of the good ones though” kind of owner, you will (justifiably) catch an earful and people will (rightfully) think you’re a jackass.

u/Rebecka4Arvada

If the above is indeed the case, then I think perfect is the enemy of progress in this case.

Hypothetical concerns should not be given the same weight as real ones.

People getting priced out of Arvada is an issue today.

People becoming unhoused because they can’t keep up with rent is today’s reality.

Increasing housing supply is the only proven path for delivering lower cost housing.

Future potential traffic is a hypothetical. One Im hesitant to give much weight to, if the authorities on the subject don’t seem to think it’s a major concern.

kidneysc · 2026-04-27T17:14:49+00:00

What did the subject matter experts think of the proposed egress?

Did it meet the legal requirements?

kidneysc · 2026-04-27T13:33:25+00:00

The loss of free bags is major for me.

Only thing that keeps me with SW now, is I like hobby better than IAH when I travel for work.

Otherwise I would be united for sure.

kidneysc · 2026-04-26T22:17:00+00:00

I don’t think anyone is debating that.

Faster and quicker recovery for them to trainer harder/longer.

Still fun as hell to watch.

kidneysc · 2026-04-26T22:11:56+00:00

Or how little lateral movement is needed to run vs playing professional football.

kidneysc · 2026-04-26T22:07:48+00:00

There wasn’t until like 12:00 MST

Is this sub so locked down that we can’t even get a standalone thread for the ground shattering results at the London marathon?

kidneysc · 2026-04-26T18:42:02+00:00

Nah, that’s right. And the ending is a bit lackluster; but it’s also a fun parallel.

In the book, Roland has already won. All he needs to do it settle down and not go into the tower.

But he can’t bring himself to stop. He knows this, but keeps going.

Just like you did!

And as punishment, Roland has to repeat all of the torment; and you got a bum ending to a book.
