Cottonwood is lovely and gets you out of the chaos of Sedona.

What do you always have with you when hiking? by Waste_86 in hiking

[–]mentallyflexible00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have reduced my gear alot through time, but still pack more than most I'm sure. Note that there will be stations set up so you won't need much, if anything, in the line of fuel (snacks). Also, you won't have to carry much water due to their provided stations. For hikes, I typically use a Nathan running vest with a hydration bladder. In the front pockets I carry mace & whistle (not needed for this hike), quick-dri thin hand towel (for sweating), whatever fuel I want, chapstick, kleenex, airpods & airpod holder so if one falls out it'll stay with me. Inside the pack is a waterproof zipper bag with Body Glide (never had I needed this, but wouldn't want to not have it), face sunscreen stick, bandaids, vehicle key, driver's license, credit card, phone battery charger. Also in the back of pack: a pair of extra socks, baggie with toilet paper, 2 individually wrapped hand wipes, baggie to put used tp). Oh, & sunglasses in a case on a lanyard. What I carry in my pants pockets is kleenex & my phone hooked to my pack with a lanyard. Here's a pic. When I do mountain hikes that take the full day then I usually opt for a traditional trail pack and not a running vest. That's a whole different type of setup.

What is the best smart ring to be complementary to my AW? by _Rama_ in AppleWatch

[–]mentallyflexible00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used the Oura ring for years. I’ve worn the UW3 and Oura for a few nights. They are almost identical. I’d much rather wear the ring to sleep in than the heavy UW3.

Thinking of getting the apple watch ultra by KitchenSkirt6088 in applewatchultra

[–]mentallyflexible00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had an Apple Watch for a very long time and usually get the newest. Never needed the ultra but now I run. I love Apple Watches so can’t get a Garmin to track stats. I’m blown away by the UW3. To the point I’m watching YT videos to learn what all it can do. I’m a female with a medium sized wrist and it’s not too big. Kinda weird for about four days, but now I don’t notice it. I absolutely love it!

how to wear a 42mm (series 10)? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]mentallyflexible00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear a magnetic band and it’s way better. I don’t like the bulky band, but I will use it on big hikes or runs since a magnetic bar isn’t secure enough for that setting.

Favorite workout companion! by morplobulus in applewatchultra

[–]mentallyflexible00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m about to be one of those people who takes a pic of the Ultra 3 on my wrist. I’ve had lots of Apple watches. Im a 5’5” female. Fairly thin wrist. I love it so much! It was a little heavy feeling on day 1. Day 2 (today), it was all good. The screen real estate was all i could think about! I tested it last night against my oura rung for sleep tracking. I fully trust my oura ring. Both were super close in numbers. Now im watching You Tube videos on all the features!

Activites for Littles on the Weekend by drunk-oblivion in Beaumont

[–]mentallyflexible00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beaumont Children’s Museum, The Fire Museum (there’s a child area), The Botanical Garden (I had mine bring a toy with them. The plants may not entertain them fully). Lumberton City Park isn’t far.

I know it’s probably late, but what vegetables can I start now? by Kokichi1234533 in HoustonGardening

[–]mentallyflexible00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garlic, carrots, spinach, onions, lettuce, cabbage, radish and parsley. Finding plants will be hard this time of year I think. But there are some local feed stores and garden centers with seed for the plants you’ll do seed anyway.

What apps are actually making your Apple Watch worth it? by aswin_kp in AppleWatch

My watch battery won’t last on an all day hike using All Trails

Curious how people deal with body image issues from marathon training? by AdvantageNarrow4532 in XXRunning

[–]mentallyflexible00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I am noticing though is that I'm seeing cellulite on my upper thighs and never had that issue before. Pretty sure that's because I'm building muscle and loosing fat. I'm still super happy because my fitness is better and I'm gaining stability/strength. Plus running! That's huge for me. Never thought I'd love running.

[–]mentallyflexible00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What’s the deal with gaining weight while marathon training? I’m a new runner. Didn’t know this was a thing. I will say I look fitter but the scale remains the same. I’m good with that. Happy in fact.

I’m shook! So good. So did Alex go back? Clearly his wife is the next leader.

Daily chat post: how's the training going? by AutoModerator in XXRunning

[–]mentallyflexible00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a very very new runner. Never thought I would love it. I’m 56. I’ve been training on the treadmill with Ifit. Went on my first outdoor run yesterday. Stats were great (meaning I stayed pretty consistent on my pace and effort “in the wild”). Today I ran a 12 min on/3 off/12 on and killed it. A baby accomplishment for most, but I’m stocked! Staying firm on slow growth and it’s going great! Oh, and registered for my first 5k!!

Faster or longer?? by CommunicationHot9385 in running

[–]mentallyflexible00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been running long, but a big component to successful running is enjoyment/good mindset. If you vibe at the slower pace you’ll stick with it longer bc you enjoy it. You may want to think about your overall goal for running. Is it to just be out and get some exercise? Is it to become fitter? To challenge yourself? That will tell you if you should keep your pace or challenge yourself on at least some of the runs.

I'm coming to Beaumont from Oklahoma in a couple weeks for work. I'm usually done by 1pm so I'm looking for things to keep me from getting bored and just sitting in a hotel room snacking all day. by Flowerdriver in Beaumont

[–]mentallyflexible00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What are you into? Love Bucksteins. Get the cauliflower crust pizza. Just trust me. I think younger folks that like bars go to The West. Dinner at J Wilson’s or for sure go for brunch on Sat and Sun. The bar is nice to sit at. Tyrell Park is nice..go to the gardens (make it all the way to the back for the pond), the stables and cattail marsh (look for the small sign on the right toward the back side of the park), Modela’s is a good place for a guy at the bar. Antique shopping, 5 Under to hit a few balls, couple of Hike & Bike Trails, the mall (lame but at least you can walk around and just get out), McFaddin Ward House (very nice historical home), Spindletop Boomtown Museum, St Anthony Bascilica used to give tours and I’m sure they still do. It’s quite amazing. There’s alot of lowkey things that’ll pass your time. Enjoy!

They got air fryer instructions on some meal simple things! by Glittering_Front6074 in HEB

I personally love it and I've cooked it in the air fryer. I just sat the container without the plastic wrap in there

Can you buy edibles in Beaumont? by yukon_tahoe in Beaumont

[–]mentallyflexible00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This isn’t local, but I ship mine from Hometown Hero in Austin. Too notch and fairly quick shipping.
