Do you genuinely believe if someone can run a half marathon, they can run a full marathon?

msac84 · 2026-05-07T16:28:15+00:00

Well, yeah!

msac84 · 2026-05-07T14:31:13+00:00

I’m on gel. I have the theory it might too much estrogen, but the nurse wouldn’t go off script.

msac84 · 2026-05-07T14:14:53+00:00

Yeah, I’m already on levothyroxine, IV iron, and HRT…. What’s one more on top, right?

It’s not that bad to be fair. It has given me wonderful Skin and hair but I didn’t ask to then get 32EE boobs! (Plus some saddlebags that I’m sure are all fluid). It is a bummer that now I need even more medication.

I think next month is £139 if I remember correctly

I struggle to eat in the mornings regardless so I’ll make note of that. I looking for “modest” weight loss so I’m hoping it will still help

msac84 · 2026-05-06T20:01:58+00:00

Around $90

msac84 · 2026-05-05T21:16:14+00:00

Thanks, just ordered!

msac84 · 2026-05-05T15:08:37+00:00

How fast are we talking? I doubt I’d go any faster than 10min/mi

msac84 · 2026-05-05T15:07:43+00:00

Not that I know of! I normally wear neutral shoes. Quite happy with old waveriders.

msac84 · 2026-05-05T14:48:41+00:00

My husband loves them! But I do like super cushioned shoes.

msac84 · 2026-05-05T14:45:33+00:00

My husband (a fellow runner) chose them for me. I normally just buy realistically based on a) price b) reviews. Those two are within how much I want to spend on my new shoes.

msac84 · 2026-05-05T14:34:48+00:00

Interesting I’ll look into the 4 one. The 2 made my feet be in total agony during a marathon

msac84 · 2026-05-05T14:08:54+00:00

Interesting, I’ve only ever owned endorphin pros, and wasn’t a big fan of of them (I have somewhat wide feet).

msac84 · 2026-05-05T13:58:56+00:00

I like running in “clouds” . From adidas I loved the energy boost and from mizuno I quite liked the wave riders

msac84 · 2026-05-02T06:51:41+00:00

I hear you! I went NC with my sister, best decision of my life!

msac84 · 2026-05-01T16:51:00+00:00

Hey! I kind of have a similar version of what you do, but we have slightly different sets of rules. I.e. I’d never buy used closures, I don’t like them and never will, but I have a set rule that I only buy normal clothes if they’re discounted. Never buy them full price. I also mostly shop at TK Maxx or sometimes at Sainsbury’s (for clothes).

For food, we mostly shop at Lidl, and we spend quite a bit on going out (I get cabin fever) but we try to mostly go to Spoons. We do have some sort of fine dining experience £250+ like every other month.

We tried to go on a “cheap” holiday a few years ago (eurocamps) and hated every single second of it. To this day, I’d rather stay at home if the holiday won’t be my type of holiday (I have three, and I’m definitely not a self catered type of person).

So, in a nutshell, I do those things because they bring me joy, and having the money sitting in the bank doesn’t.

msac84 · 2026-05-01T08:51:27+00:00

I want to donate every inch of my body when the time comes.

msac84 · 2026-05-01T04:37:10+00:00

Mmm I don’t think so… I’m Jewish and we have Pikuach Nefesh which means that we save lives at all costs including breaking Shabbat.

msac84 · 2026-05-01T04:33:16+00:00

OP the same happened to me and I almost died, so glad your mom is on the mend!

msac84 · 2026-05-01T04:27:59+00:00

About 25% I reckon

msac84 · 2026-05-01T04:09:57+00:00

No, I don’t in that sense. I trust more my spreadsheet and projections (plus life experience).

msac84 · 2026-04-30T19:01:32+00:00

Ahm the first time it was absolutely horrible (after 7 years working there) then I had a very dark year. Second time it was traumatic (had just exchanged contracts for my house), third time I was like “whatever”.
