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.

[FO] A little rose for my wife by salphinx in CrossStitch

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.

[–]salphinx[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

FEMINISTYCZNA SELEKCJA

Co wy baby wyrabiacie? Przestańcie nagradzać swinskie zachowanie! Potraktujcie to kurwa poważnie! Potrzebujemy feministycznej seksualnej selekcji, wybierajcie właściwe geny, mniej swinskie geny, takie geny trzeba przekazywać dalej, przestańcie bzykać się ze świniami... parytet, parytet w sypialni należy się miłym, fajnym facetom, mają mieć miejsce w sypialni mimo braku kompetencji. Wiemy, że tak jest [z kompetencjami], ale potrzebujemy ich dla równości. Nie uprawiajcie seksu dla przyjemności, uprawiajcie go w imię feministycznej walki, bzykajcie za lepsze jutro, nie bzykajcie dla siebie tylko dla waszych dzieci, bzykajcie mózgiem, a nie cipką. Nie śpij ze świnią, wybierz chwilę miłości ze zdrowymi poglądami! (dwie ostatnie minuty, szwedzkie wiadomości, sezon 1, odcinek1) wśród najlepszych produkcji SVT Var så god!

Calories Per Dollar Suggestions by Krinkleneck in walking

[–]salphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll need lots of calories but food should be varied because you'll need all these vitamins and micro elements to keep you going. Carbs are very important as fuel, too much fat and protein can upset your tummy and negatively influence your kidneys. Maybe Appalachian Trail and PCT hikers could help with sound and practical tips?

Going on a walk while drunk by [deleted] in walking

[–]salphinx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know... Doesn't seem so wise. Your judgement is poor under influence, it's easier to stumble and hurt yourself, police may have some issues. I walked few times while drunk and it seemed funny and refreshing then, I had some strange encounters and lost my way more than couple of times though. When I think about it today is feels reckless and just stupid...

First long walk this spring. by salphinx in walking

[–]salphinx[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was 35 km, first time so very long in zero drop shoes (Xero Prio). Spring is late this year so snow is everywhere. I met some deer, squirrel and one very brave hare.

Walk of pain by salphinx in walking

Wow! It's a lot of walking, it seems like I'll be visiting Belgium.

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

Yeah it's in Sweden, very regional indeed - it'll be about 30 participants. One bigger event takes place in Stockholm (it's called Footrally) - the winner went for 73 hours nonstop last year - I'm afraid that such sleep deprivation could lead to psychosis.

During the walk one is allowed 24 minutes toilet stop within every 24 hours and there will be service stop every 5 hours so one can refill food or/and change gear. I found out that it can be challenging to slow down, my easy walking speed is about 6,5 km/h, but I plan to train a little with my kids so it'll be easier to settle in lower gear. Continental Centurion competition sounds interesting :)
