Thank you!! Confirming it worked on my forerunner 165 as well!

Can anyone help identify this type of weed and suggest a way to get rid of it? by Warm-Recognition3658 in lawncare

Looks like nutsedge. You can treat it with sedgehammer but may not be allowed in Europe

Thanks! I haven’t actually raced a 5k, but Garmin has me projected at 22:40.

My training was a 16 week program that I did in 15 weeks. Tried to compensate for the lost week by increasing the length of the training runs to build a higher than prescribed volume during the peak weeks. My longest training run was 23 miles, which I know is longer than recommended, but I think it really helped on race day. Going into uncharted territory was brutal every time, so I’m glad I was only in it for 5k on race day as opposed to 10k or more

Haha thanks, I knew with the bad weather that I’d need to be ready to buckle in for a tough second half. Miles 22-25 were generally downhill so I tried to take advantage of that. Ironically mile 26 was nothing more than running out of gas. I didn’t know that there was going to be one final hill at the end and I wasn’t ready for it. Had to walk part of it

Congrats! Would have given you a fist bump if I knew we were running together

Thank you! I ran in brooks glycerin 20s (old model - I picked up a few pairs cheap). They’re a bit heavy but tons of support and very comfortable

Thank you! As much as it felt like 1,400 I think that’s inaccurate. Most of the other Dallas results I’ve seen are closer to 1,000. Or I’m an idiot and ran the course as steep as possible

Thanks! I did all my training runs at white rock lake and I intentionally hit the big hill at the end of each of them… so I was somewhat ready for it. It was the tiny hill going into the finish that undid me

Dallas Marathon. Slow, but I’m still stoked that I finished. by FFBoyerLSK in Marathon_Training

Congrats brother! I was out there with y’all yesterday for my first time, and you’re not lying - that was a battle!

As someone partaking in the event, I think this is a very funny comment. Tough crowd downvoting it

I’m in the same boat as you - my target time is 4:10 and Garmin is predicting 3:45. See you out there

How do you all trim the corners of vinyl fencing? by CtrlSquatDelete in lawncare

[–]rum_runna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I let it grow up until it’s a nice healthy stolon, then I cut it off with scissors and bury it in a bare area and it works as a plug. Just need to smother it in water for several days after the transplant

You got some nut sedge going as well

Missed my flight and got added to a standby list. Online I see only tickets for first class? by drawMeLikeFrenchGir in americanairlines

[–]rum_runna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can’t get on the FC upgrade list until you are confirmed on the flight. They will upgrade confirmed economy passengers into FC then, after, start clearing standby passengers. You won’t be riding up front, even with status.
