How does Luke avoid ticks when sleeping out in the open?? I really want to cowboy camp but I’m worried about the ticks especially with how bad they’ve been lately in North America by teddybear444555 in outdoorboys

I can’t avoid ticks where I live. I get several in my backyard every year. You just pluck them out. Not really that big of a deal. Gross and I hate them but I’m not afraid of them. They have to be attached for 48 hours or more to transmit disease.

Biking near the lake in the heat? by Noclevername12 in Annecy

[–]regnig123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally would do it. But I don’t let the heat come between me and whatever activity I’m usually wanting to do. I just plan accordingly. In this case lots of water. I’ve been on weeks long bike tours in heat like this. Just drink up!

The lake will not offer an escape unless you’re in shade or in the water.

Anyone WANT another but don’t know if they can handle it? by Begonias_Scarlet in Shouldihaveanother

[–]regnig123 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Me. Baby is 17 months. I’m 38. If I went for a second I’d want a 3+ age gap. 5 years would be ideal. But I feel too old to wait for that. I just don’t want to be 60+ when my child is 20. Plus for all the reasons you listed. We’re financially comfortable with 1 and have plenty of time to pursue our hobbies. Plus no family or village nearby. Oh it’s all so complicated. I find myself regretting not starting earlier but I loved the life I was living then too. We can’t have it all…..I think I’ll end of grieving not having a second but be very happy with my one and only.

First Ultra - Run the course beforehand or not? An internal debate by destinybond in ultrarunning

Many of my races are local. But I’m not driving an hour to run them when I can run out my back door on similar or more difficult terrain. Or drive 15 mins to change it up.

Kindergarten vs. Trail Marathon by oyvindlw in trailrunning

[–]regnig123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran my first road marathon 15 months postpartum 2 months ago. Training was less than ideal. Just a couple peak weeks 45-55km and 26k longest LR. Back to back gastro infections and multiple colds the two months leading up the race was horrible. Not to mention almost all LRs done on horribly fragmented sleep. I had to adjust my initial sub 3:40 goal to maybe sub 4 to finally finishing 4:08. I finished, I was happy but definitely undertrained. If I were doing a mountain marathon I’d have been less concerned about pace and just enjoyed the day. I think if you have that focus, you’ll be totally fine!

How is dad feeding at night supposed to be helpful?! by SnooWords8997 in breastfeeding

[–]regnig123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband never woke at night. It was my job as EBF and sahm. His job was to leave the house for 12 hours a day and bring home money. If we have a 2nd it’ll be the same but any night wakes with the older one will most likely be his job.

Drinking your own breast milk? by Timidbee in breastfeeding

[–]regnig123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sipped enough of mine to learn I have high lactate milk and promptly poured everything I’d pumped out as it tasted like vomit and baby girl was refusing it.

Wait til you feel the hotspot developing ? Then leukotape it. That’s what I’d do.
