Another medication change. So far the side effects are tolerable but it takes 4-6 weeks for this med to be fully effective and in the meantime it's been a roller coaster ride with my emotions and anxiety levels.
Came to the realization that I just don't have the spoons to run regularly anymore. Sometimes it's even difficult to just walk. So I made a deal with myself. Exercise when I feel I have the energy, rest when I do not. Maintain calories within limit. It's the best I can do for now. Maybe eventually I'll get better and be able to run again like I did before, but right now I simply cannot, and that's okay.
I still like the discussions here, though I'm trying really hard not to get jealous of your mileage.22 -

I've noticed that as well. I have a small group of good friends I see semi-regularly (or try to, at least) and we certainly have interests in common, but none of them are runners. I make a new friend about once every 5-10 years, so maybe the next one will be a runner, but then again, maybe not. I still love having people to talk to about my interests, I just don't need that to be in person. If anything, I prefer it this way - I always have a place to go to talk about running, no one's going to complain about being excluded from the conversation, and controversial topics are (generally) avoided or addressed in a fairly neutral way.
And yes, I also consistently test INTJ. Pottermore says I'm a Slytherin, but I don't believe JK when she insists they're not "technically" evil - I'm telling that sorting hat to put me in Ravenclaw.
Okay, apparently I am destined not get any actual “work” done at work today.
Just visited the Pottermore website. Pottermore put me in house Hufflepuff.3 -

I'm Hufflepuff as well! A last summer I took Psychology of Harry Potter and we were sorted into our houses, wands chose us and we found our patronus via Pottermore. It was such a fun and eye opening class.
I chose to move 12 hours away from my hometown 8 years ago, so my friend group here is very, very small. Now that Brad is gone, it's basically just my best friend up here, who is a runner as well. We work such long and crazy hours though we rarely get together to run, which suits me just fine. We save our time together for drinking I adore her, but my run time is mine. She is running in the races I am later this year, but she's far more fast that I am and knows I don't expect her to hang with my slow poke butt.
I ditched organized religion about 11 years ago when I left the Catholic church. I miss the ritual of Mass sometimes, and still consider myself spiritual, but the mess humans have made of religion has just put me off of it.
I don't run nearly as far as any of you, so I have no worries about needing to eat during a run. I do keep it light on the morning of a race though, mostly because I get nervous.

My patronus is a crow. My wand is vinewood with dragon heartstring.
But at Universal Studios I bought a deatheater wand because it was badass.6 -
I got Gryffindor and my patronus is a dragonfly. I also scored ISFJ on the Myers Briggs test so I guess I am an introvert. The description sounded a lot like me too. But now I have to get back to work.4

My husband is an ISFJ as well. He has his social hat on outside but loves to get back to his cave! I wonder if any INTJ or INTP here..?
P.s. just checked previous posts, 6 female INTJs! Nice! And INTJ females are not even one percent, just 0.8% of the human population.4 -

Good to see another fellow INTJ!
