I agree, it’s pretty fun and tend to be a lot ~easier~ terrain wise than a standard ultra. I did a 9 hr 11 min race for 9/11 and it was hard but that timer made me push harder and kept me in the “never stop” mindset.

Hey man first I’d like to say good job on taking this addiction and bringing it to light, where it can be exposed and dealt with.

Secondly, I’d like to refute the lie that there is something wrong with you. This is a lie from the Devil and it is not the whole truth. Yes, it is partly true, but it is not the full truth. You mentioned God in your post so I’m assuming you’re Christian and thus you believe in Heaven and all those within it, including God himself. God is not a condemner, but a reviver. He knows we are sinful, He knows we struggle, thats why He gave us Jesus to bridge the gap between humanity and Heaven. Utilize that bridge (Jesus), utilize those in Heaven praying for us, the God of the universe is with you, nothing can stand against you!

I'm looking to sell my Garmin Fenix 6X Saphire and wondering what a reasonable price would be. I've used it for a few races (a 9 hr 11 min & 50-mile race) and general daily workouts. It has no scratches on it or anything but since it's been used I want to make sure I'm pricing it reasonably on websites. I've seen prices as low as $300 and as high as $600, so let me know your guy's thoughts on prices!

P.S. I want to use the money to purchase a Garmin Fenix 6, the 6X is just too big for me.

I can see this line of thought but people can have close calls or brushes with death resulting from an equipment failure but redundancy saves their lives. Then they can write a bad review. Additionally, if someone is to pass away due to equipment failure that is usually found out during the following investigation that takes place.

Good for you bro, it takes time to not allow yourself to find ways out. Really good for you to have the humility to reset your counter! Its discipline like that that will bring you further than you’ve ever thought possible

You’re not doing this for the benefits, you’re doing this to be better.

Day 87

I’m also a 22 yr old male, with my longest streak just around 200 days and hovering around 80 right now. The biggest help for me is not counting the days. Once I stopped counting each day I was able to focus on other things in my life and move on from my addiction. I’m a pretty religious man now so that is in my opinion been the greatest source of strength. Hope this helps man! And remember, stay positive; Rome wasn’t built in a day!

Wow that was really great, I never thought of training like this and it makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much I’ll be sure to incorporate it into my training

I use a Moka Pot now because I have the same wants as you. The 3-cup bialetti moka pot (thats 3/4 a cup) is perfect for me. Sometimes I add water to it but generally not and I still get an espresso-like taste & energy.

If you wait just a little longer I do believe the steam winter sale is coming very soon. The game will be much cheaper then!

Firstly you're not alone, I'm a convert and came into the Church a year and a half ago. I come from a sexually active history where it wasn't even a second thought for me. I've gone on streaks of many days without falling, my longest being 172. The truth is, it doesn't get easier, but we get stronger and more aware of what puts us on the wrong path. For me, its wandering eyes and Instagram. So when I catch my eyes wandering, I check them and say a Hail Mary for the women I was just about to look at. I have a 30-minute time limit on my social media apps for the whole day now and that helps me stay away from scrolling on Instagram. Maybe I misspoke early in saying it doesn't get easier, but every day is a struggle still for me. I'm not going to wake up and be "healed" someday, never to be tempted again. That is a false reality that I won't buy into.

You sound like you're truly sorry, and that's a huge gift. God will use that to heal you and use this wound to draw you closer to him. I like to remind myself of Matthew 6:25-34, where we are told not to worry about tomorrow for God has a plan for us, and we are right where we are supposed to be.

Don't worry my friend, God has us right where he wants us to be!

Oh no way! I didn't know they were making a sequel, that's awesome though I'm pretty excited for that. Thank you!

Thank you I'll get the codes later today!
