I walked to pick up packages, 1km total, 2 days in a row... that's all I've got activity-wise other than sitting in a cold tub. And I don't feel very good. So here's a guinea pig update. Just keep scrolling if you're here for running content 😆

@Mari33a I'm glad you got out of the situation without getting robbed, but OUCH! I hope your bruises heal quickly! Today I sent hubby off to the airport, went back to bed, then got up later and walked to pick up a package and sat in my cold tub. I'm also trying to think of activities for guinea pigs to do that I can…

@quilteryoyo I'm so sorry about your cousin and his son. Sad that this is his decision, but more so that the situation was such that he felt this was best. I hope they can both find peace with whatever happened, even if they don't do so together. And comfort for your cousin, and for you with all of the emotions of…

It's definitely the love! Curling up in a quilt is like getting a hug from the person who made it for you. I agree it can take some time to adapt to changes to more healthy eating. I had been stress-eating and grief-eating SO much junk, so it feels good even just mentally to know I'm not currently doing that and have some…

🌟🌟🌟 I'll give you three gold stars 😊 Yeah, I get CICO... but cookies + candy literally all day PLUS regular meals has got to be a ton more calories than: - a morning oat "milk" with straight cocoa & creatine/BCAA powder (replacing the bigger shaker of the same with nesquik instead of cocoa that I had been ingesting daily)…

@quilteryoyo I'm so sorry about your cousin. I hope he and his son can have some good time together. The whole situation sounds really hard. My bigger cold-water immersion tub arrived today. It's definitely an improvement. Husband made me a level platform, and I made a cover for the tub. The sun went down before I…

The shows I entered were smaller than the ones you probably saw in central PA. And this was years ago, so I can't find pictures of most of them right now... but I took a deep dive into Facebook posts, and even found an old blog I had posted to around 2014-16 :D ...

Maybe a longer answer than you asked for...

Great cake @Laurz9191! I'm definitely an amateur at cake decorating, but I did buy a better decorating kit for next time. Probably husband's birthday. Except he likes German Chocolate (German as in the last name of the guy who invented it, not the country) and that doesn't really need decoration. Unless I add a second…

@emptydog my parents also kept a PT cruiser well beyond when they should've. I think Dad's plan was to fix it and drive it for fun. That's not gonna happen now, and it's occupying space in the garage, with deck furniture cushions stored inside 😆 P.S. good luck trying to leave us - actually you don't even have to run to be…

@tarun_yadavA nice gloves 😆 As long as your hands are warm, I say keep wearing them. @shanaber those pictures are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Hobbes also looks great, as usual. I hope the time away was restful and that you can regain your full health and strength. You're on my mind. I've been able to sit up a bit more…

@quilteryoyo my mom put a motion sensor inside the mailbox that rings like a doorbell in the house when the mail is delivered. You'd have to check the range on them though, as I know your box is a bit farther from your house. Doesn't look like the arctic blast is coming my way. I might be the only one who is sad about…

I'm really behind on following this thread, but thanks for thinking of me. And you're definitely not alone in wondering about the crossovers from ME/CFS (chronic fatigue). There's a lot of research being done to understand long covid, but the "answers" may take a bit longer. For me personally, I didn't exercise for several…

I've got one to add to the weird dreams... I don't think any of you were in it, but potentially you all could've been there because it involved running... I guess the interpretation is, go for a run because the end of the world is on its way? 🤷♀️🤣

I'll try to check in from time to time. No fitness goals other than listen to my body.

Merry Christmas, everyone! I'm back home in Poland. The past few weeks have been a blur, but I think we managed to make Christmas good for the kids 🙂 My husband wanted to make Christmas dinner, so I made my cookies a few days early and got out of his way. Lately it seems like something has been suppressing some of my…

I have not. I looked it up though, and what do you know, it's literally just called "Crooked Forest" (Krzywy Las in Polish). Looks like it's near the border with Germany, and is over 6 hours from where I live. Maybe someday if we're in the area. It looks pretty cool. @daria0919 come on over 🙂 There are quite a few…

Hahaha. That sounds nice, too 😁

Great job @eleanorhawkins! Thanks everyone for the kind words. *Hugs to all* I introduced some Pennsylvania friends to cold water immersion and they got hooked. So it's gonna be a daily thing until I leave 🙃
-
Not aimed at you - "men's drunken escapades are adorable" in general just hit me wrong. I'm sorry. It probably came came across like I was mad at you guys, and I'm not. I know sometimes those things can be funny. Other times they're the complete opposite. I know you all have no way of knowing what just happened here or the…
-
I just skimmed posts. Thank you for all of the condolences on my Dad's passing. What a nightmare this has been. Unfortunately, no. Not at all. But we can still be friends 🙂
-
@kgirlhart so sorry about your pup, that's so hard Travel update: I made it to family safely last night. The rebooked flights came through Washington, DC, so someone just came and picked me up there (3 hr drive) as it was faster than waiting for the flight to Pittsburgh. My bag didn't go where it was supposed to, but I'm…
-
I would've let you know, but it literally just happened. First flight was delayed 2 hrs and apparently they had already taken me off of the connecting flight and hadn't told me yet. They gave me vouchers for snacks and meals at the hotel, so I ended up with more free food than I need. And I'm wearing the free t-shirt from…

Waving from afar (the other side of London) to @tarun_yadavA ! Long awful story short, I got stuck at Heathrow on my way to the States in response to a family emergency. I was even ready to run through the airport, but they wouldn't let me into security. At least the food at the hotel is good. Thoughts and prayers will…
-
Great goals! And it's great to see those year-long goals being met by @Scott6255 and @quilteryoyo ! Who's next? No distance goal for me. I just want to do as much activity as I can without crashing. Easier said than done, especially when external factors outside of my control also contribute to this mess I'm in. Today's…

Apples 🍎 I don't really pay attention. Most of the apples I've had in Poland are yummy. Pizza 🍕 I'll take meat lover's as my favorite, but like a variety. Hawaiian is OK for me, pizzas that look like someone dumped a salad on top are good, peppers within reason... just PLEASE do not put corn on it and label it " Pizza…

I've never played pickleball, but the explanation I got was it was like tennis for people who can't run around as much. I vote for being a fun tennis snob and avoiding lesser sports 🤣🤣🤣 *I'm joking, guys - do whatever sports you enjoy, as often as you can!* We've had some light snow, just enough to be pretty but not affect…
-
Checking in, have had a few rough days?/weeks? I don't know. Caught *another* yucky cold and am still not over it. Have been mostly staying in bed. Finished watching the Turkish TV series and started the next one, LOL. And watching my bird friends fighting over seed. @quilteryoyo visa office visit went smoothly, but there…
-
@Teresa502 sorry your friend was so annoying it caused you to get rid of Strava. She does sound obsessed. I'd probably tell her I don't post everything, and by default leave a lot of things visible only to me. Which is true for me. But if it's not a big deal to you, deleting it like you did is also a valid and…

I took the bean brownies to a weekend conference with friends, some of whom are very into "healthy" desserts like that. The general consensus is they aren't bad, and they're going about as fast as the pumpkin spice brownies someone else brought, so maybe they aren't lying. I guess I like them. Too much food here though. I…
