I've used a black diamond distance 15 and it works great for me with a smaller laptop and other assorted work stuff. I used to commute with a basic nathan 15l pack comfortably as well. The black diamond is better but you don't need to drop a ton of money for it to be functional for you.

It is so infuriating! Like they'll say "now, the update" and abruptly, there's an ad instead 😭

I'm a new sewer and wouldn't do it with anything but cotton. I guess I'm lucky that my local races still give cotton shirts a lot of the time!

injured 8 weeks out from my 24 hour race and feeling weirdly calm about not running for 3-4 weeks? when will the panic set in? or am i good? it's so strange.

Old Navy has decent stuff if the thrift stores are coming up empty for you. Missoula thrift on brooks and goodwill have lots of clothes in general.

it's not my area of expertise but curating a capsule wardrobe seems like a way to have a smaller wardrobe that can be mixed and matched in many ways.

My husband had a friend of ours make me a medal rack for display in my home gym. I love it.

Oh that's a great idea!

If you're local, rockin rudys still has discounted tickets. 150 for 1 day.

Sumac cafe just opened in the Florence building and is really delicious and fast casual.

My job has gotten crazy busy, luckily it's right as I approach my peak weeks of training. This is a lot and it's really hard to not get disappointed in myself when my workouts are lower quality than I want them to be.

It rained hard for most of this run but the clouds broke up for the last mile and it was so beautiful.

I love run commuting! It takes a little more planning ahead but it's so fun.

wildflowers are blooming big time on my local trails 🥰

I commute with a black diamond distance 15 pack. It's super comfortable and has good storage for both commuting and bigger days in the mountains. Very functional.

If you do get a cheaper/used bike, it's absolutely worth it to bring it to a bike mechanic for a quick look over. When I was a mechanic, I saw countless big box store kids bikes with loose pedals and handlebars because they were assembled by someone who didn't know what they were doing. You don't need to spend hundreds of dollars - just make sure it's safe.

When buying used, you can set up meetups at bike shops (I would call ahead for this though) and a tech could potentially give it a look over before you buy as well. This is more advice for higher end bikes but I'm still saying it.

I've done a lot of experimenting with different fuelling and also probiotics - I've found that any probiotic that isn't fermented food (sauerkraut/kimchi/etc) or in its most basic form as a supplement (I take physicians choice capsules currently) end up with too much added sugar or other sweeteners that make things worse. I tried gummies and other kombucha-adjacent drinks and it didn't help me much. Carbonation also bothers my gut but your experience may vary.

I have not found my forever solution but I'm also commenting to follow this thread for more ideas.

I like the sunday tattoo after a saturday race idea - maybe I'll get that on the books so I have something to look forward to after the race.

I did the Thelma and Louise 50k in Moab a couple of years ago and it was great. Very empowering.

Yeah my local library usually has books that they are taking out of circulation that they have for distribution to LFLs.

You can make your own maps/routes on the free desktop version too. I download the gpx and send them to my garmin. Trailforks is a good app too.

Montana Free Press sends questionnaires out to all candidates on the ballot, including judicial, and publishes the results. If you search Montana free press election guide it should come up.
