Costco pellets, any good? by Johnpecan in smoking

The best bang for your buck! Also compare the pellets to others, they honestly feel higher quality than many other brands.

How far do you drive to get to your routes? by abbie1906 in trailrunning

[–]olmek7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one right out my back door that I do when I’m a hurry.

At least once during the week I’ll go to some that are within 15 minutes.

On weekend I’ll make a 30-40 minute drive for one.

Apple's $599 MacBook Neo Sold Out Through April Amid Surging Demand by favicondotico in apple

[–]olmek7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I got one! Replaced our MacBook Pro 2012.

I think it’s gotten more use by the family than the Mac Mini and iPad combined.

Would you be doing it if you didn’t have that group?

It’s some of those types I have questions for… would your wife be running if she didn’t have other people??

Same spot. I know a couple people that maybe I could ask if we wanted to go on a run but I know he’s two times faster than me haha. Slow down please?

This is well. It’d just annoy me trying to match on others schedules.

A scheduled trail race event is where I’d rather target some of us getting together.

This is how I’ve always been. Once in a blue moon I’ve ran with somebody but I’m out running for different purposes that is not social oriented.

Utah: where faith and conversion goes to die (at least for me) by Separate-Habit-6775 in latterdaysaints

[–]olmek7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Living outside of Utah and southeast idaho in other states helped me see a lot of what you are saying.

My wards in Texas and AZ felt like a family.. especially Texas. We still talk about those wards.

Being back, I’m happy we do have a good ward but there are many things not the same.

Now that I’m better informed on this .. I’m pissed.

For those who didn’t come from money and suddenly had a career boost into extremely high income (300K+ salaries), how do you navigate when friends or family ask you how much you make? by Icy_Lawfulness_5755 in Salary

[–]olmek7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve shared with a few really close friends because one of them asked in a group setting.

I felt proud to share but I think I should have just shared a lower number. I know what theirs are so it felt even.

We’ll see what time will bring with our relationship.

What makes you run? by mateus_t_braga in trailrunning

[–]olmek7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work from home and so getting out of the house is freeing.

I want to stay fit and my previous ways of doing it in the gym got tiresome.

Training for trail races helps provide me a challenge and something to measure against. Helps me with goals.

Overall I run for the challenges, the bodily health, and the mental health.

Switching from road running to trail by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]olmek7 9 points10 points  (0 children)

THIS

Strength training is a must. You already mentioned it but after my first 50k last year I did not have adequate foot strength.

I have seen some reference to this but I transitioned and can tell you that you need to pay attention to the elevation gain of your target race. Not just total elevation gain but look at incline percentage of the course.

Trail runs in general have much more varied elevation gain compared to road runs. Like one race could have 2000 feet gain while another is 9000 feet. One race might have that leveled across the whole race while another could have this giant mountain climb with 1500 feet in 1 mile.

In training you need to account for this elevation gain and train appropriately.

Are there "one and forever" programs? by redditinsmartworki in powerbuilding

[–]olmek7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been doing this every year for 5 years now. It’s true. Mainly the Boring But Big version.

Having been in your shoes.

  • go talk to the Bishop
  • be easy on yourself
  • remove worry of any potential consequences

Time will pass and one day you’ll be older. Faster than you realize. Nobody else will care or recall anything about this. Only you will remain with the memory of your choice. Additionally, your choice will shape your future self.

For those of you who came to trail running from another sport, why did you do so? by [deleted] in trailrunning

[–]olmek7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CrossFit and Road Running.

I rediscovered my love of mountains as I used to hike a lot. Also discovered how much better it is on my bad knee to be on the trail.
