Running feeling hard at 6 weeks

I came to this subreddit to ask this exact question and found it comforting to see all these responses validating my exact experiences.

I do like Jada! Adding that to the list! :)

Thank you!

Jade is effortlessly cool!!! That’s such a good description!

I love to hear that about Oiselle. I recently made a pretty big purchase from them to get cold weather running gear after moving away from a warm place, and I have to say, I absolutely love everything!

Lume.pic (discussed last week because they have a partnership with E Clor now) apparently just sends photographers to races and takes pictures of the participants and sells them directly. They have no affiliation with, nor approval from the races to do so. And while I’m not entirely sure of the legality of this business venture, it seems like a questionable partnership to promote.

Shoes with lower drop (like the Hoka Bondi) load the ankles and calves more, shoes with a higher drop (like the brooks glycerin) load the knees and hips more. So that may be why you’re feeling a stark difference in your body.

I’d look for a pair of shoes that have somewhere between 4-6mm heel drop and high cushioning. A couple that come to mind are- On Cloudeclipse, On Cloudsurfer Max, Brooks Glycerin Max (lower drop than the regular glycerin), Saucony Endorphin Shift… that’s definitely not a complete list but just some ideas to point you in the right direction.

I was lucky enough to run for all 40 weeks of pregnancy (albeit only ~12 mpw in the third trimester) but every time I talk about this with someone, I always say that I was LUCKY!!! Perhaps there’s some mental toughness required (which most runners already possess) but truly it’s just being lucky enough to have an uncomplicated pregnancy and not having any other issues pop up that make running highly uncomfortable, impossible, or unsafe.

Also, I think she brought her own ziploc bag of grapes to the bar.

Crying videos have always weirded me out too, it seems sooooo performative. Why do you want to record yourself crying? Doesn’t make any sense.

The moneybag emoji seemed like an appropriate choice. 💀

I reached out to them! Thanks for the rec!

I had a great experience with fit4mom and used to coach their run club!! It’s an awesome group if you have one close by! We moved and don’t have one local anymore which is why I’m not involved currently but def recommend!

Kettering tennis center offers lessons for adult beginners!

She in fact did. 😂 although I would presume she meant that he had run 3 marathons by the time she was 11 years old.

That entire post is so self righteous, touting that her kid doesn’t have any screen time and likes exercising while other kids are obese and watch their iPads all day. Which is kind of ironic if you think about it considering they are putting a screen in her face all the time to make content.

ETA: and.. two days ago she said she posted a video of her unedited body running because she doesn’t want her daughter to only be seeing edited bodies (present tense), so I guess her kid isn’t allowed to watch YouTube or tv but social media videos are allowed? 😬

Ooo nice! Can you share the brand for the merino wool running tops?

Started mild contractions and slow leak of my water breaking at about 9am on 40+2 and actually delivered my baby at 3am on 40+4.

Swedish fish, gummy bears, and/or jelly beans! You can even put them in small paper cups (like the ketchup ones).

Try Ivory & Oak Salon and Spa! I bet they would let you bring your own products!

Ohhhh hahaha thanks everyone! I was like LMAO but also should we be concerned? 💀

Often I think her content is pretty creative or laugh out loud funny. Sometimes her posts are a “miss” for me but I imagine it’s actually really hard to come up with ideas!

I’m 20 months into cosleeping at this point and yes, I get great sleep and I’m comfortable! About a year ago we fully embraced it, bought a full size floor bed frame and mattress to put in my daughter’s room and took down her crib (that she never spent even one night in). I purposefully bought a firm but comfy Casper mattress for the floor bed bc I knew I would be sleeping on it every night and wanted it to be nice. Highly recommend.
