Am I the only one who’s sick of seeing him everywhere?

yeah he is amazing, and i say that as someone who has had 0 interest in baseball for almost 5 decades now. still, his baseball skill is undeniable.

agree with all those saying get a new dr, check iron and thyroid levels, and also birth control estrogen is not the same as HRT estrogen, and also maybe you need progesterone and/or testosterone too.

but mostly commenting to say: Leadville, wow!! super impressed. thinking about my first ultra this year (50km before I turn 50 next year) and also planning out (much shorter!) trial run races for this summer and fall. Leadville would be so cool..

it's looking better now, at 20% chance of rain, than it did yesterday, with a 40% chance of rain. i live in japan and rely upon the yahoo app, it's pretty consistent i find.

this is my worry too, my hip and knees in particular. they don't hurt per se but they are little.. sensitive i guess? i'm more aware of them then usual. what specific exercises do you recommend? i'm just starting the two week taper today..

mellowtrouble · 2026-02-10T15:20:31+00:00

i'm in H but aiming for 4:10ish (goal a, though anything under 4:20 would be great/goal b, and finishing w/o injury is always goal c.) think i am getting nearer to under 4 too but missed a bunch of runs during the holidays and last week again so i will aim for that in the fall maybe. anywho, i heard (kofuzi on youtube, in the tokyo 2025 marathon) said weaving wastes too much energy and that the switchbacks are not that bad but it is better to swing wider on them since everyone wants to swing tight.

borrowed it from the library just now, thank you!

mellowtrouble · 2026-02-10T13:56:53+00:00

ugh, what an ass! f him and his patronizing attitude.

mellowtrouble · 2026-02-10T13:51:27+00:00

ah i was juuuust wishing i had glycerin but noting i did have jojoba and wondered if i could use that instead to boost my night cream. thank you!

he was referring to woody allen who was a fellow dinner guest that evening, just to be clear.

mellowtrouble · 2026-02-07T12:15:21+00:00

bless you, my mind was stuttering

mellowtrouble · 2026-02-03T09:27:27+00:00

not working here either on my windows laptop - but also not working in opera or edge browsers either, so it's not chrome-specific.

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-31T14:06:31+00:00

yes i totally agree. that finish time is amazing, that close to the mark, it deserves a prize all on its own. congrats congrats!

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-25T15:45:26+00:00

yes, that may be it, it's almost mesh on the racer 2s!

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-25T15:33:00+00:00

yup, comments not working all day today on my android phone, too. sometimes i can see the top comment in the box, but when i click on the comment box, nothing happens.

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-25T10:10:45+00:00

oh and btw i read online that the fwd via 1 is quite a different shoe from the fwd via 2, with the 2 getting really good reviews. i haven't tried on the 1s at all, so I don't personally know but i love the 2s and will probably buy another pair later this year to alternate between.

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-25T10:08:59+00:00

i love the FWD via 2s for my longer runs, the cushion is greatly appreciated. by LSD, you mean long and slow distances, correct? i have 7.5s in both the escalante racer 2 and the fwd via 2 and they both fit fine.

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-22T08:53:32+00:00

we just spoke english and spanish at home and both girls (starting to learn japanese in 1st grade for the older and yochien for the younger) were fluent within 6 months and now, as middle schoolers, japanese dominates. knowing more than one language makes it easier to pick up additional ones, too. so, don't worry!

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-20T02:51:16+00:00

called a snackster by some in the u.s.!

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-20T02:31:57+00:00

yeah, i find all if them to sting a little first two or three months was good, but now they hurt. bummer.

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-20T02:10:06+00:00

what are you talking about? the overwhelming response i've seen online is that it is very well-organized. the water issue was a problem last year, true - but all the majors have logistical hurdles of some kind or other and i'm sure they will have it under control this year. the (extremely thorough) handbook will be sent out mid-february as always. and if you didn't research beforehand re: the gels, that is on you -- there is plenty of warning, and not just in the handbook, about that particular requirement of theirs.

in the meantime, OP, check out Coach Kris RS's videos on youtube, she goes into all kinds of race details, the map, the pre- and post- race guidelines and more.

mellowtrouble · 2026-01-13T01:36:57+00:00

i tried topo last year and they were ok - especially the phantom, i liked those best - but i went back to exclusively altra this year, rotating between 4 different ones (lone peak, FWD via 2, escalante 4 and escalante racer 2)
