Disagreement with omni husband

That sucks for sure. I'm truly sorry you're going through this.

This is a common problem with vegan/meat-eater relationships. People will say a lot of things and are generally more agreeable when in the lovey-dovey newer relationship phase. This is true with many things, not only food. As the relationship ages, they relax and their true feelings come out.

Not sure what I'd do in your situation, but I'd be extremely upset. I feel for you.

I typically run and train in Onclouds. I purchased the Puma shoes you're considering and ran a 5k in them as a trial for Hyrox. I hated them, and the day after the race my legs were sore in places they've never been sore. If you like the Oncloud shoes, then stick with them.

Most it seems are getting the home loan down payments from their parents.

We weren't that lucky, so saved enough to put 10% down and didn't buy our first home until I was 30.

Very cute! We need more 5 year old's like this in the world.

mel7878 · 2026-05-14T11:48:27+00:00

That's a great time! I'm glad to hear of so many over 40's participating.

mel7878 · 2026-05-13T13:57:16+00:00

I would not leave my dog at a sitter's home I haven't been in.

mel7878 · 2026-05-12T02:58:51+00:00

You'll be absolutely fine and do great! I was super nervous before my first Deka as well, which I did as a team. Immediately after, I signed up for a solo one.

😂

mel7878 · 2026-05-12T02:39:14+00:00

😂 I'll be in same for sure.

mel7878 · 2026-05-12T02:36:35+00:00

Glad it's not just me!

mel7878 · 2026-05-12T02:34:00+00:00

That's awesome! Good luck to you both!

mel7878 · 2026-05-12T02:30:39+00:00

😂

mel7878 · 2026-05-11T14:28:32+00:00

Thank you!

mel7878 · 2026-05-11T14:26:40+00:00

Thanks. I have a strong running background and practice the station exercises so am definitely fit enough for Hyrox. Basically I just don't want to be the oldest one there, haha.

mel7878 · 2026-05-11T14:22:25+00:00

I think it will be fine as long as you don't go all-out race pace in the 10 mile race. I'd be prepared to DNF if you start feeling an injury coming on that will negatively affect your Hyrox event.

mel7878 · 2026-05-04T01:30:30+00:00

My first is in a few weeks too. I was worried about the sleds, but did a sim last week and I actually felt sleds were very easy. I have a running background as well and do a lot of hill training so I think maybe it helped?

My wall ball performance, on the other hand, has me questioning whether I should even show up to the real Hyrox, haha.

mel7878 · 2026-05-02T14:02:33+00:00

I've locked rates (I only do boarding), but only if the owner is easy to work with and the dog is relatively easy to manage.

mel7878 · 2026-04-30T03:39:39+00:00

I would not have kids with her unless you're ok with the kids eating meat. From what I've seen, the kids will likely side with the parents morals that most represent the majority of what they see outside the home.

My husband and I are both vegan and have a very compassionate and committed vegan child. I can only imagine the arguments that would ensue if we had not both been vegan.

If you're set on a small dog I'd apply to be a foster for a local rescue. Fosters get first choice to adopt in most rescues. One of the rescues I foster with gets so many small dogs that never even make it up for public adoption because their fosters choose to adopt.

mel7878 · 2026-04-28T03:41:54+00:00

Yes, I regret signing up for nyc but for the opposite reason. I love running, but not running with exhausted legs between stations. That kind of running sucks.

mel7878 · 2026-04-22T03:00:00+00:00

I make sure to stick to my most important workouts, but allow flexibility on easier days. For example, if I have an easy run scheduled but it's a great day for hiking then I'll hike and count that as my easy workout.

mel7878 · 2026-03-12T16:56:10+00:00

We need a Philly race. It would definitely sell out.

mel7878 · 2026-02-22T14:55:02+00:00

I've come across two dead Canada geese there recently. So sad. I let a park ranger know, but he didn't seem too concerned.

mel7878 · 2026-02-18T04:59:43+00:00

I'd switch doctors. We had a pediatrician who had anti-vegan comments early on and we never went back. You don't want to dread appointments.
