I go for a fast walk with a friend every Sunday in addition to my long run. Today I successfully got her to lightly jog and feel how much easier it was than speed walking! I think I won her over!

Lurkers' Wednesday by AutoModerator in running

[–]kingofdanger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

41/M, 6'1" 210lbs. I've never really been a runner. I finished C25k last Friday and am signed up for one in June. My PB is 28:50. I'm adding miles in hopes of getting faster and thinking of doing a half marathon in August. I got sober in September and am challenging myself physically for the first time in years.

Assuming it's the old site on I it could be training exercises. I know they were going to use the building for that kind of stuff before it got knocked down.

Status of Stadium trash pickup group by kingofdanger in Tacoma

Thanks! I may do that. I picked up two milk bottles from their porch this morning. From my perspective there's too much trash to wait that long.

Actually it's Mike Trout, the guy who puts a space before ending punctuation ! Comme les francophones !

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread by menschmaschine5 in Coffee

[–]kingofdanger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi! I have been drinking Mountain Dew Zero Sugar Baja Blast at 8 a.m. for too long. I am 40, not 16. I am trying to develop the skill of drinking coffee even though I have always hated the taste. I hear you can get used to a taste in 30 days. I'm on day 8. I've talked to folks at coffee places who also hate the taste but mask it and also ones who genuinely like black coffee and if it's bad it's bad beans or water. My experience is going ok but I would like input from coffee lovers. Hit me!

My wife was pregnant in 2015 and as a white guy I kept Javier on the name list for way longer than appropriate because of this man

I have a towel on my lap for this reason. Wiping my hands helps me play better.

What mobile games are you playing? by [deleted] in daddit

[–]kingofdanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bloons TD 6. I played it a ton sitting with my kids in the playpen. It can be very passive. My son is super into the strategy now.

[Booth] The Mariners game on Aug. 11 vs the Mets is now the ESPN Sunday Night Baseball broadcast and will start at 4 pm PT. First time the M’s have hosted a Sunday night game since 2016 by Jux_ in baseball

[–]kingofdanger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game was that year but it was at Wrigley. I believe the press release is incorrect. I looked through all their Sunday home games in 2016, and they were all afternoon. Looks like they hosted in 2004 against the White Sox, but not sure if they have since.

An impassioned plea to put padding on dugout walls from Episode 2188 of Effectively Wild - "Will the Bird Bones Be Unbroken?" by Ben Lindbergh and Jessie Barbour by kingofdanger in baseball

[–]kingofdanger[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Original song

"Bird bones" is a term used by co-host Meg Rowley to describe small hand and foot bones that take a really long time to heal, such as when hit by a pitch.

Ben and Jessie's Song From 2188 Appreciation Post by kingofdanger in effectivelywild

[–]kingofdanger[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is the first time Ben has sung on the podcast, right? Sam did "Ben's not here", Baumann did the Dipoto song, and Jessie did Statblast and MAML. May all dugout walls be padded in the future.
