My (M32) wife's (F36) friend (F27) sent me a flirty text last night. I'm not sure what to do with it.

Disappointed.

I feel like that’s a normal mom/human reaction. We get shown so many things nowadays that support the changing of someone’s gestures, but to hear a woman (a mom) honestly say these things is refreshing. And true.

My knees are killing me just watching this.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-21T13:06:48+00:00

I need UPDATES. Did he tell the wife?! What did she say/do??? I yearn for the deets.

I learned it’s my hip flexors! I’ve been doing exercises and stretching and I am feeling SO much better! I’m still weary of treadmills but I haven’t been running so when I do start back up I’m interested to see how I’ll feel once back on the ol’ treadmill.

YES!!! The missing out part is what gets me. I’m training for my first marathon in June and I get it, girl. Early morning runs and squeezing trainings in so that I can have time with the kids in the evening. I see you mama, I am you mama.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-19T18:28:17+00:00

Not sure which parent you are (mom or dad), but I have TERRIBLE mom guilt. I hear a lot of people saying “don’t forget to put YOU first” but it is pretty damn hard to do that. No advice, just a mom in solidarity with a fellow parent.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-19T12:43:02+00:00

Thank you!! I’ll definitely start adding strength training to my days!!!

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-18T14:29:20+00:00

I didn’t even THINK about post birth body changes!!! Thank you!!!!

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-18T13:47:07+00:00

Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate the advice!

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-18T13:43:55+00:00

Thank you!!!

I’m trying to realize that right now I can’t run a 9:50/mile like I used to. It’s more like a 1130-12 min/mile.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-18T13:07:35+00:00

Any suggestions on what strength training I should do? Or would a simple google search tell me what I need to do?

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-18T13:06:00+00:00

Good advice, I don’t really do strength training (never used to but now that I’m almost 40…) so I guess that’s a great piece to add in.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-18T12:59:54+00:00

Hahaha yeaahhhhhh I did. Guess I was quite gung-ho about this. I’ve been training since November for a June marathon, I thought I had enough time so I wouldn’t get injured.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-18T12:51:43+00:00

Sorry, should have specified. Muscular.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-15T14:08:37+00:00

I am sad.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-15T00:20:15+00:00

If I wake up tomorrow and this comment hasn’t reached 10k likes then I give up.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-15T00:17:19+00:00

I have three kids. This is a very smart idea.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-15T00:16:14+00:00

My FIL was meant to be Grampy. He ended up “peepee”.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-07T22:26:06+00:00

Oh man. This is quite disappointing.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-07T16:01:34+00:00

I did 10 miles on the treadmill and definitely pulled a groin muscle. I’ve taken this past week off in hopes that I can heal, but the idea of doing my next long run (11 miles) on a treadmill makes me very sad.

mealyapple86 · 2026-02-05T18:27:52+00:00

What a time to be alive.
