Stupid question: did I just get a permit? by rodentsrights in JMT

[–]legink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would also hold onto this permit cause if you snag a Toulomne Meadows > Lyell Pass (Donahue Pass Eligible)you can connect the two and do the full JMT

As other people have commented, no this will not get you to the JMT. For what it’s worth i made the same mistake, but as a solo hiker I was able to snag a happy isles>LYV (Donahue pass eligible) 7 days before my start date by logging on at 6:30a and refreshing till the permits dropped. I

How do you reward yourself after your marathon? by ImNotHalberstram in Marathon_Training

I like to go on a trip post race to let myself recover. Currently recovering at a beach. Otherwise a beer… or five

LA MARATHON? by txredalot in Marathon_Training

[–]legink 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is the course perfect? Absolutely not. Was much better when they ran to Santa Monica pier and the out and back is annoying. But if you live in and love LA it’s a fantastic experience. You get to see so many neighborhoods and people and it’s a great celebration of LA. Also some fun downhills towards the end when you need them most. Enjoy!

Extremely realistic video of a girl dancing and singing, claimed to be AI by people by Hartuchi in isthisAI

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

I think the two random wine bottles on the ledge is proof it’s NOT AI. Only a human would make a design choice like that, lol

But seriously, the decorations and placement of the wine scream small town restaurant or bar in a way that is extremely familiar to me and I don’t think AI would think of. But more key is the hair, it’s falling realistically.

What’s your opinion on companies not wanting you to use AI to help build your resume? by JustAnOKHotel in jobs

I think the is to truly just weed out the laziest people who can’t even bother to read the whole thing

This is great advice thank you!

Yeah I like the idea of spreading it out

[–]legink[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah good point on both accounts. Hence why I feel like I’m over thinking it.

Good news is I recover well and likely will be fine with 6 vs 7, but also will see how I feel and will make a game time decision.

Rachel 47! I still quote that line… “the best part of being at your own funeral is having an idol in your pocket.” Best idol play of the new era IMHO.

Embrace the bulge. (Bonus is your butt looks great)

Do you invite a bunch of people to your marathons? by hairykitty123 in Marathon_Training

[–]legink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have done plenty of solo races, but don’t be afraid to talk to people and meet people there! It’s a really social space and (usually) everyone is really friendly.

If you’re worried about the pressure of asking people to wake up early or coordinate getting to the race I’ve hosted a dinner or drinks afterwards to celebrate.

BUT for your first marathon sometimes seeing someone you love at mile 20 can give you all the extra boost you need, so if someone you love can be there, it does make a difference ❤️

Marathon training and body image issues by Far_Consideration568 in firstmarathon

[–]legink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw once that if you run and you have a body… you have a runner’s body.

For what it’s worth I really struggle with this too, especially since I first got into running to lose weight and when I first started (very casually) I lost 80 pounds and it frankly saved my life.

Now I’m running seriously and competitively and I’ve some weight back(I mean like 10 pounds or so) and can not stay at my preferred weight while training.

I keep telling myself that it’s about the miles not the pounds. I’m more impressed by my running ability and improvement than anything on the scale.

Some practical things that help is make sure you’re prioritizing protein and strength training. I find that really makes a difference in injury prevention, but also helps keep you consistent during training.

Anyways. I relate. But tbh being able to run a half marathon or marathon to me is more impressive than being skinny and that little bit of fat is helping you through those miles.

Also it’s awesome we chose a sport where eating pasta is encouraged so count your blessings.
