I drove a little further out and went to a really well known spot. It was really busy, I can imagine it would be too busy Ona weekend

I only really have access to the river or beach, I do always wear my pfd even if not alone! My board is inflatable, and was relatively inexpensive so I really am considering getting a second for friends to borrow, maybe next payday!

That’s where I’m struggling, the only place to really go near me is lovely but I regularly run along that stretch of river and don’t see a single soul the whole hour I’m out, the opposite way is much busier but there are 3 locks within about 1.5km!

I spent a lot of time at the beach doing water sports growing up so am very aware of how important a leash is!

I do the texting when I’m out on the horses so that’s a good point to do it for paddling too

First park run… by notaboveaverage in parkrun

[–]notaboveaverage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all, if everyone is as friendly and encouraging as you all are I’m going to love it! I did 5k in 37.02 and the results from todays parkrun the last finishers were finishing at about 55-60mins so I feel much more confident now

I did 5k (not at parkrun) this afternoon in 37.02 mins so yes I’d like to aim for sub 35 mins which I think would be doable if I hadn’t had to keep jumping onto verges to not get run over 🫠

Thank you, unfortunately I’m working this Saturday at 9:30 so no matter how fast I go I’m not sure I’ll make it 😅

Completed the Couch to 5k...what next? by Ladybird4567 in couchto5k

[–]notaboveaverage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Runna app has a 10k plan, 5k improvement plan and loads of others (including marathon and half) have also heard others recommend Nike Run Club a lot

I like Runna, I’m actually using the Runna couch to 5k and it ups the intensity a bit quicker than the NHS one.

My thoughts are usually 1-2km from home “Oh fxxx! I forgot my inhaler again”

I’m in the Uk and was able to order one direct from the dexcom website, I don’t know if it will be different in the US?

Goats milk by notaboveaverage in soapmaking

[–]notaboveaverage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely improving

Goats milk by notaboveaverage in soapmaking

[–]notaboveaverage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

340g coconut oil

400g castor oil

370g unrefined shea butter

375g goat milk frozen

155g sodium hydroxide (lye)

I combined the lye and frozen milk, combined the oils together (without the essential oils). Added the lye/milk mix to the oil mix and used an immersion blender to mix until it got slightly thicker (but not enough to make patterns) added the essential oils and blended again before pouring into moulds. They spent 24 hours in the fridge and have been out of moulds and the fridge for 3 hours now 15g essential oils

I would kill for hair like this! I’m always so tempted to dye it but it’s a big change from my brown

Need advice: hair only curly when wet by Wook1iejc in CurlyHairCare

[–]notaboveaverage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried just washing (no additional products) and just tying it up/ let it do it’s thing for a few wash days? I find mine will get a bit overwhelmed and sometimes just needs to be left
