But i dug out some paperwork yesterday and ran across my old act scores, 96 percentile nationally in science. So guess there has to be give and take. Oh, point was: so dh is finally considering replacing my phone
    @Elise4270 "considering to replace it"?? A phone with which you can't make phone calls sounds 100% replacement-worthy to me. But maybe I'm old-fashined for considering a phone a device to make phone calls with :tongue: :mrgreen:
    Hugs on the sore leg, Yay for walking with just one crutch!

    Wait... you can talk on those things? huh.

    Right? Not having the GPS voice is also a bit of an inconvenience. But, eh. Its all fine.

    You don't want to have to talk on it anyways! Now when the annoying work peopol (😊) call you have a legit reason not to talk to them!😆 Also no running or cycling means no need for the GPS voice... On the other hand I really think DH should anty up to get it replaced, especially now while you have time to learn (play) with all the new features!
    I was one of those who did really really well on Math and Science, almost as well on English but History was my nemesis. I like it better now but thought it was SO boring in school.

    ETA @ddmom0811 - so what is LISS?

    Anyone know how to add another hour or two to our days, without losing sleep?

    Quit work 2 hours early :D

    Like @Avidkeo My nighttime movie time went away when I started running more. I don't really miss it, though.

    Advice please. My run today was 6.5 miles and my toenails are feeling it. I have a half marathon in a few weeks (yes i know I should be running further by now but hey, I am where I am. It will be slow but I’ll do it). Any advice on how to keep my toenails as I’m quite attached to them.

    @samthepanda - I would check 2 things. 1) are your nails too long? and 2) are your shoes too small? The general recommendation is to go up a half size from your normal shoe size because your feet swell when you run. I actually go up a full size in my running shoes because I was continuing to have problems even with a half size bigger. The wider toe box shoes like Altra and Topo Athletics seem to help as well.

    This! First trim your toenails, and if the issue continues, new shoes

    I had been playing this game online and quit finally last year when I was ramping up my mileage. It was pretty addictive and not something that I could find myself just spending less time on... it was either keep letting it eat way too much time or stop entirely.

    @samthepanda I use silicone toe protectors on my super long middle toes, and haven’t had issues since. I used to get black toenails on trails when running downhill because my foot would slide forward inside my shoe. I keep my toenails cut to the quick and larger shoes slip on my heels, and a narrow width is too narrow on my forefoot. The toe protector made more sense than trying to find shoes which worked, and they also work in all my different shoes.

    I sometimes have issues with a couple of my toenails biting into neighboring toes - keeping them trimmed helps, as does wearing toe socks like injinji's (although I know some people don't like the feel of them).

    This is great, but I would also add check your socks.

    Also, losing toenails is pretty much a normal thing as distance increases. Not for everyone, but it is fairly normal. :)
