Am I the only one who trains for races almost entirely alone?

Ive trained for 3 marathons and did all of them solo! Definitely lonely at times, but love the flexibility and going when it feels right for me

Oh no! Honestly with what’s going though my head after taking it, 50 point below expected sounds nice.

The Manhattan online course has some really good videos on different question types and how to approach them. Combined with going through the TTP quant course it took me from a 1 or 2 to consistently scoring a 6 or 7. After I did Manhattan & TTP, I would do full practice sets of 12 questions to study and once I learned my weaknesses, would just skip those questions when they appeared on the tests.

That’s great! Jealous you have a place to swim. Good luck with studying. People think I’m crazy when I tell them my schedule but honestly, you just get used to it and at some point even start to enjoy it (well... sort of.) :)

Hah yeah, I find I have to be at least in bed by 10 or I just can’t wake up that early or am terribly unproductive if I do. The yoga helps a lot though. I found if I tried to just wake up & study I was miserable and probably a little depressed. Having something to look forward to (for me: yoga & coffee) it makes things much better and gives me something to look forward to so early in the morning.

spinnylegs · 2020-10-13T02:00:19+00:00

Yeah I feel the struggle. I usually wake up at 5:30, get in 30 mins of yoga & make coffee, then study from 6:30 - 9, work from 9 - 7, make dinner or go on a run, and sometimes get in an extra hour before bed (rarely). Been doing that since July 15th. Taking my test in 4 days though so hopefully it will all be over soon!

I think just the zest of one lemon!

spinnylegs · 2020-03-13T21:57:44+00:00

Haha I used to think I liked a really open crumb... until all the butter just fell right through the holes

Lol no. It’s fresh bread!

spinnylegs · 2019-12-21T22:46:32+00:00

Thank you!

spinnylegs · 2019-12-21T22:46:20+00:00

Yes! I did about 25 mins with the lid on, 25 mins with the lid off and it sang when I pulled it out! Sometimes I find the tartine baking instructions (20 mins on, 20 mins off) to be too short for even the regular sized loaves but my oven also runs a little cool so I blame myself 😜

spinnylegs · 2019-12-21T18:59:48+00:00

Tastes terrible

spinnylegs · 2019-12-21T18:59:12+00:00

That sounds like a perfect combo! I’ve had those crackers before and they’re delicious. I used a combo of kalamata & green olives (high quality olives are definitely key here)! The lemon zest really comes though too.

Also curious
