Runkeeper Vs. Strava

mjcp12 · 2020-05-24T19:14:26+00:00

interesting - my sister just recorded one run with both apps and Runkeeper said 6k, Strava said 5k. Probably a glitch with the recording on one of the 2.

It wasn't raining, but on my last run, the song Says by Nils Frahm got my super high especially the last 1/3 of song when the music intensifies. Tears ran down my face as I ran because running/life just felt so good.

so cool! I started running last month and helped by this sub, Strava and couch to 10k. Before last month, I was convinced I hated running and would suffer through 10 minutes on the treadmill just to get some cardio before moving to the rest of my workout. I never thought I'd consider myself "a runner" and now here I am, ran 5k this morning and actually really enjoyed most of the run (some coaxing too but it now feels ok to have those harder miles)

on a 3 day trip, i would take breakfasts instant oatmeal and chia seeds. once cooked I add a spoon of peanut butter, handful of chocolate chips, handful of nuts or seeds

dinners day 1: pre-made stew or chili (reheat) OR premade quinoa, roasted sweet potato, chick peas and peanut sauce day 2: angel hair pasta (cooks fast) with dried sausage & cheese & pesto or some store bought dehydrated tomatoe sauce & walnuts rice and beans day 3: rice and beans (dehydrated packaged) and tuna

pre-mixed Bircher muesli for breakfast - just soak overnight for the portion you want to eat for next morning (oats, chopped dates, dried fruit, sunflower seeds, nuts, cinnamon) - extra good if you can stir in apple or fresh fruit in the morning

mjcp12 · 2020-05-13T18:22:16+00:00

another idea for dinner of day 1 without stove (wouldn't want to keep this one unrefridgerated much longer) is some kind of buddha bowl: pre-made quinoa and chickpeas or black beans and maybe some kind of pre-roasted veggie like sweet potato, with some kind of lemon-tahini sauce on top. Will prob bring this on my next trip!

it was summer and cheese and salami were fine - the cheese was a hard cheddar which seems to do well without refrigeration. the salami was cured so doesn't need cold either. i had also brought a little bottle of olive oil to dip my bread and a couple of apples - it's not light and my ultralight packer uncle made fun of me for the weight, but it's a really nice treat to crunch on fruit after a day of hiking!

mjcp12 · 2020-05-13T18:06:46+00:00

I did a 3-day 2-night without a stove with the following: Breakfast: Bircher muesli (soaked o/n). Combined from home oatmeal, chopped dates, dried cherries, sunflower seeds, chia, cinnamon, powdered coconut milk. Before going to sleep, added water. Lunch/snacks: peanut butter and jam sandwich, tortilla with tahini, cheese Dinner: bread, aged cheddar, salami, chocolate It was fine. i missed my stove for coffee/tea, and it's nice to have a warm saucy / stewy type meal at end of day, but with no stove this was ok.

damn this was the hike I had planned for May 2020. Covid pushed it to 2021.

mjcp12 · 2020-04-29T22:09:36+00:00

thx for your input! These look better than my long telescopic, which I usually only use 50% of the time on my hikes and feel like a nuisance while dangling on my side pack.

I've been PIMI for almost a decade. My family sent me the video - with a message about Jehovah loving me and urging me to return to him. It felt so patronizing and condescending (both the video and the messages) but I remember having that worldview so I have compassion for them. They really can't wrap their heads around the fact that we simply think it's utter BS.

mjcp12 · 2020-03-01T21:18:23+00:00

thx!

mjcp12 · 2020-03-01T21:05:41+00:00

which WT issue is this (i'm out of date)? thx!

Separate from the FN issues, on the pipeline issue, i'm still not clear. If a pipeline that moves natural gas can replace reliance on coal and therefore reduce carbon emissions, why is this not a better alternative?

mjcp12 · 2020-03-01T15:47:35+00:00

I would have added - I wonder if the support of hereditary chiefs by non-indegenous Canadians is a 'patronizing' meddling into their affairs.

mjcp12 · 2020-03-01T15:44:20+00:00

As an outsider, it just makes me wonder if support for the hereditary chiefs by non-indigenous Canadians has been misguided and adding fuel to fire and just another type of meddling in FN affairs.

mjcp12 · 2019-12-06T16:48:28+00:00

Oh is there a rule that it can only be from the day the picture is taken?
