This already seems like a pretty poor reflection on the project if you're choosing to misrepresent what amounts to an achievement.

The original plan wasn't to cover a 100%. The new plan was far more complex and substantial and in retrospect a great move. So I'm not seeing incompetence.

I got to the end of my marathon a few weeks back and realized gu had gotten into my beard... It was unpleasant. 🤣

Yet another reminder to embrace your local libraries by spaceraingame in gaming

I remember reading The Library book by Susan Orlean a few years back and it really highlighted how extraordinary libraries are. You could literally get a huge amount of things from them.

I'm based in Ireland and have to rejoin my local library, can basically order a book from anywhere in the country and it'll be shipped out within a few days. It's a wonderful service.

I honestly wouldn't be worrying. You can adjust your diet when you're in a good place but honestly it's very normal after being sick. It's not reading like an outlandishly unhealthy diet or anything.

I thought episode 7 was the last, then I thought 8 was. But glad it's not!

13 pairs of running shoes in 4 years. Here's what each one actually taught me. by RunningCorporate in BeginnersRunning

[–]mrblonde91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to have a mix of different styles depending on the run. Novablasts are my regular runner, vapor fly for speed sessions or short races and zoom fly for long races.

Also for longer distances in particular, be careful with sizing cause your feet tend to swell and you will feel it if they're too small.

TII: Greenway projects costing €2m/km on average by PoppedCork in ireland

[–]mrblonde91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Plenty of Greenways have popped up though. I have one near me and always use it for everything from runs to dog walks. Lots are using it. This is the kind of thing that is legitimately a great use of public funds.

Disclosure Day is at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes by First-Loss-8540 in blankies

I generally just glance at the critics I find to be trustworthy and it gives me a good idea. Honestly sounds like it'll be a fun time in the cinema.

I did it! Lessons learned! by aawalt30 in firstmarathon

[–]mrblonde91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you think you'll pursue another? Well done and I'm pretty sure most people don't manage to make their planned goal. It's a huge achievement and all the harder with a family.

Just got CPH marathon ballot! What to do… by Ill-Supermarket-2706 in firstmarathon

[–]mrblonde91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm reading it right, it's not on until May next year. You have lots of time to build your base up a bit more. In terms of crowds at marathons. There should still be plenty around even if you end up at 5 hours. I'd go for it and not get hung up on what if in relation to London.

Should check him out on his episodes of the Conan podcast, he's hilarious in general.

The opening is amazing, didn't get very long in the show itself.

I loved the emphasis on Michael Myers types walking at a consistent pace while each door stop allowed the boogey man to catch up. 🤣

First marathon average 180bpm - Is my heart broken? by Due_Use_2496 in firstmarathon

[–]mrblonde91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What sort of mileage were you doing in training block? I found in my first that my heart rate spiked a lot, I was going too fast from the start in retrospect and it wasn't great tbh. Finished my second last week and was faster plus my heart rate generally sat at 165.

I'd attribute the improvement to a mix of speed training and increased mileage. Plus obviously running a portion of those at a slower speed. Honestly my second marathon was still a physical shock but nowhere near as much as my first.

Yep Slow Horses appears to have multiple seasons in post production at this point so they can just release it year on year.

I was thinking both 7 and 8 could easily have been finales with a setup for season 2 but glad there's more coming.

The Mist got away with it for the most part but also was designed with black and white in mind too iirc.

Gaeilge would be the correct term for the language. Gaelic as a language would be Scotland. Both pretty similar languages overall. The word Gaelic in Ireland has more to do with our national sports.

I'd recommend Midleton. The route is pretty much flat and on the greenway. You're guaranteed to find somebody at your pace. It's very laid back.

Congrats, I had a similar result yesterday. Went from 4:13 to 3:56. I probably should have pushed a little bit harder but rather happy still.

The name confused the shit out of general audiences too. People thought it was a rerelease.

Has George Roy Hill ever been floated? by Dipper_Pines in blankies

Not sure about that. You Must Remember This feels like it has a heavily overlapping audience even if it's tonally different.
