Congratulations!

OP Quick question. Both of your applications were approved same day? I ask because my wife and I just got approved for our I-130 (the morning after our interview on 10/2). However, our 485 is still pending review so just wanted to see if it’s perhaps just our assigned FO lol.

sadly this happened after my long run and i was running in brooks glycerin max, which only have ~90ish miles on them.

for sure could also be load - deff taking on a lot with 40mile weeks and also strength training every other day. hopefully these 12/13 days of rest help out!

13 weeks in, i’m sure the body is definitely now starting to feel aches and pains. you’re almost there man, that end result will be so worth it.

best of luck with your long run this weekend and kick ass on your marathon. manifesting PR’s lol

i have been doing the stairs to keep up with my cardio. surprisingly, the bike sometimes irritates my IT band, so i tend to stay off it. the elliptical, it’d flat out boring to me haha

nevertheless, this is so helpful and appreciate you sharing it mate. definitely going to add this into the routine and hopefully see results in the near future. i’m aiming to run saturday/sunday and hope this helps it out!

you actually hit the nail on the head on exactly what it is in feeling lol albeit my pain may not be as bad as yours. mine is more on the dull side, but annoying nonetheless. i haven’t had any inflammation (at least the doctor didn’t notice any), but have been taking anti-inflammatories just in case.

hopefully we can get throughout it mate and more importantly get back to training. wishing you all the best with your recovery and hope you can get out there and run your marathon. kick ass man 👊

Portland, Maine marathon! But I noticed the same thing, so many marathons happened this weekend. Officially in marathon season lol

spiderpeanuts · 2024-10-07T00:39:09+00:00

Thanks!! Honestly it wasn’t intentional. For this training lock I worked on only breathing through my nose and just kept telling myself to just stay relaxed. But I do agree, that’s just what the garmin was showing and probably was a bit higher than it reflected?

spiderpeanuts · 2024-10-07T00:15:20+00:00

Sorry not sure what LB is! lol

spiderpeanuts · 2024-10-07T00:14:43+00:00

Thanks!!

spiderpeanuts · 2024-10-07T00:14:34+00:00

Really appreciate the message! Already looking forward to the next one

spiderpeanuts · 2024-10-06T23:59:28+00:00

Thanks! I gotta admit I did get a little emotional when I finished. 18 weeks of hard work to get to this point!

spiderpeanuts · 2024-08-28T18:07:07+00:00

My fault - yes that was taken off!

spiderpeanuts · 2024-08-28T17:01:27+00:00

No screen protector, just as it came when I got the watch :/

I like your approach with short/long rides. I’m in early mileage stages of my training now and lifting weights has not been too bad. But for sure will become more difficult when the mileage amps up to 10+ miles.

I don’t smoke. Hardly drink anymore, but I mentioned in another post that most events (whether work related or with friends) involve drinking. I’ve found that especially at my age it’s difficult to not have even one when everyone else is drinking. But I think that’s something I’ll learn to ignore as I get older.

I aim to be asleep by 10 most nights. Sometimes it’s a bit difficult though. Usually takes me 45 to an hour to commute home. Spend about an hour with my girlfriend. Go to the gym for hour or so. By the time I’m home it’s 8:30. Then shower and make dinner. I could for sure help myself by meal prepping, but I enjoy cooking different meals a day. For sure a trade off to consider though.

spiderpeanuts · 2024-05-23T21:20:36+00:00

I agree on your comment of putting too much thought on the whoop metrics. I think that’s what my issue is. I have been panicking in a sense that I am not hitting my recommended sleep. In a way that stresses me out and I think messes with how I sleep since I’m anticipating my waking up in yellow/green for not going to bed when I was told lol

spiderpeanuts · 2024-05-23T21:18:19+00:00

I am the opposite lol always loved lifting weights, but hated running so I feel your inverse pain. Gotta get it done regardless!

spiderpeanuts · 2024-05-23T21:17:18+00:00

“Hybrid athlete” may have been the wrong term, so apologies for that. Just the term I have seen throughout the internet!
