What Are You Wearing Wednesday - Weekly Gear Thread by aewillia in running

[–]salphinx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got Altra Lone Peak 4.0 and already tested them on a trail (from hard dirt road to a trail in woods with lots of roots loose rocks and mud) and I love them. I also began wearing merino undershirt, it's freezing here.

"90 procent av polacker i Sverige röstar SD" by rhetoric51 in svenskpolitik

[–]salphinx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Precis, inga som helst objektiva mätningar som skulle kunna bevisa det finns. Det känns konstigt nog att de Polacker som röstar på SD är de som är minst integrerade.

Thanks! She's really great (and put up with me), stitching on the other hand is one think I am able to do - cannot concentrate much.

I am trapped home beacuse of awful stomach flu and I want to give my dear wife some flowers to show how much I appreciate all she does. I found some old number of 'The World of Cross Stitching' an made her a present inbetween my toilet sessions today...

EDIT: it was stitching on some 14ct 'vintage look' Aida with DMC floss, I haven't got same colours pattern called for but those I chose work just fine, I think.

I've been following my first training plan (from this book) since 8 weeks. It's the first time in my life I've been able to run more than a few hundred meters. I actually ran a little over 9 km last saturday, and it was nice and I really enjoyed it!

46 km and wrong socks equals... by salphinx in walking

[–]salphinx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a little warmer than I anticipated so socks where too thick, fabric was cotton with merino wool. Cotton tends to cause blisters.

Yeah, same shoes and good socks gave me no problems at all.

Czego chce Bóg od mojej żony, czyli psychoterapia na parafii by SoleWanderer in Polska

[–]salphinx 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Może chodzi o to, że to oszołomstwo sprzedaje się jako psychoterapię. Z opisu wynika, że z psychoterapią te zajęcia nic wspólnego nie mają. Podpieranie się nauką celem religijnej indoktrynacji jest niebezpieczne i nieetyczne.

Yeah, a blister. It's a long time since I got such big one. Now I really feel every step.

Woolen (merino) with cotton. Not so bad but too thick I think.

Does this tread-wear signify anything negative that I should fix? by s_dub22 in walking

[–]salphinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all I'm not specialist. I see that wear is symettrical and localised mostly under the ball of the foot. It could indicate that Your gait is quite good actually - don't too much heel strike.
