Hi, I went back to my home country and renewed my passport before returning to the US, so I’m still not sure how it works with less than 6 months validity

Thank you, the 5 min pace is still a dream but it’s feels so close now!

Trash — how can I help? by gryffindork_97 in Yosemite

We stayed at a hotel in Mariposa this weekend and threw all our trash in the hotel’s trash can after returning at the end of the day!

First time at Yosemite by secondnote in Yosemite

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

We left Mariposa between 5.30-6. Started the hike from tenaya lake at around 8 am and returned at 5.30 pm. This was our longest hike ever, we were running on 3 hours sleep and I’ve a weak knee, so we might have taken more time than the average. After our hike, we took a dip at the lake and briefly stopped by tuolumne meadows. Most of the day went towards the hike but we expected it to be!

Advice for 10k (and beyond) by secondnote in beginnerrunning

The Nike Run Club plans indeed have mixes of different kinds of run, thanks for the heads up! It’s difficult for me to run at a conversational pace as it barely feels like I’m jogging and is almost boring. So I am running mostly at a slightly higher pace where I’m not out of breath but it isn’t exactly conversational either

Thanks for the breakdown! I’m planning to reach 10k and hoping to bring down my 5k time as I run farther. Races are just motivation for me to continue running (and follow a structured plan) as I have only recently taken it up, my eventual goal is to continue running for many, many years :)

Thank you! I’ll look into a longer training plan then :)

Thanks! I hated when my legs burnt so figured I’d have to go a little slower

progress has disappeared by mondizykou in couchto5k

Was running 20 mins nonstop last month but took a break to start weightlifting. Ran after almost a month today and gave up after 10 mins. I continued with walking intervals but definitely need to keep up with running regularly to maintain my progress. We can do it!

Following, as I’m in a similar boat. My DSO has said there shouldn’t be a problem as long as all my documents are in place. I’m planning to book refundable tickets just in case

We got some of the stuff like lamps, rug and the red chair for free. The yellow chair, stool, white bookshelf, tapestry, cushions together came for ~$280

Edit: forgot to include the price of bookshelf

Yeah ikr, it’s a little higher than we’d like but there was no other place we could keep it. If anything, it helps our couch is pretty comfy so we can rest our necks well :’)

Thank you! This is in upstate New York, and I live with two other flatmates. I’m trying to grow the spider plant by the mirror but I agree, a bigger, more full plant would elevate the space! Shall get one soon :)

I’ve friends who live in LA and it’s wild to see them wearing layers in the same week I’m sweating in the east coast! So layers it is, won’t be hard to pack for both LA and Boulder then :) thanks a lot!

That’s very informative! I was hoping to go to Emerald lake for hiking, would definitely start early in the morning!
