@shanaber this Nikwax duo is what I just bought to re-waterproof rain jackets. It’s on the to-do list for this week, so no results to report yet, but I have to say that the shoe version did a great job on my Frye boots that I wear to work just about every day

I have a number of different kinds but find myself reaching for the canning jars the most (also use them for canning and for drinking glasses in a pinch!) They’re very sturdy, leakproof, and also lighter than most of the other options I have (anchor hocking and Pyrex from Costco) I do use them all, though, for different…

@rheddmobile wow! So much water!! @HRKinchen Congrats on your race and goal achieved! @hjeppley That sounds like an excellent race for both of you! Your son is so speedy!

This is such a great idea, and so motivating! I do a lot of travel in the US for my job, but often end up on the hotel treadmill--this inspires to try to get out and explore more, even if only for 30-45 min. My world running map would include only the unlikely combination of Canada, Sri Lanka, and Israel/Palestine.…

Somehow I'm screwing up my posting.. in any case, month 2 here for me, and I'm in for 60 this time (made my 50 mi goal last month) 3/1/2018 5 mi Got a gorgeous 5 miles in tonight, with some clear skies and light left around 5:30 or so. I ran from work, which is a pretty beautiful bike path run on the north side of Lake…

Hit 50 for January and February, so I will shoot for 60 in March. I'm still weighing a first HM attempt for July, but base-building mode should be good for now.

Fell way behind again... but quick shout out that like everyone I was so impressed with @7lenny7's mud race!

Congratulations @RunsOnEspresso! @PastorVincent So great that the shoe swap worked--that could have been ugly @katharmonic San Diego sounds gorgeous!

Halved, pop pit out, filled with tuna

I really like mine, and it's taken lots of the guesswork out of figuring expended calories for me. Mine is a blaze, set to active with negative calories enabled, and I've been steadily losing since Thanksgiving (16 or so lbs so far). I mostly eat back exercise calories and just find it helpful as a check in tool so I don't…

Thanks, everyone, for your experiences! @garygse Makes total sense. There's a seasonal water fountain in the park at the beginning/end of my bike path run, so that may do for a while once it starts up again. I still have a mile steep uphill walk home from there, so I could use it. @AlphaHowls I hope you enjoyed the cake!…

I do overnight oats and heat them up: 1/2 c rolled oats, 1/2 c milk, 1/4 c dehydrated apples w/cinnamon, 1/4 c walnuts.

I also like both, but my go-to for cottage cheese is to mix in homemade applesauce or apple butter.

Totally late to the January party--I have been reading and admiring you all but only set my goal of 50 miles yesterday when I saw that I had 45.6 so far. But I did it! 50.1 with an after work run where at least there was a little light when I started. Thanks for the inspiration!

I've been following the thread for all of January, and you all were super inspiring! I didn't have a goal, but ran my longest distance ever so far (6.37 mi, 10:42 pace) and am now contemplating doing a 10K race in February (previously I'd been hoping to do one by August). I'm 4.6 miles from 50 miles this month--was…

The food near NPs out west is really hit or miss, especially if you have dietary restrictions for whatever reason. I'd recommend getting a small inexpensive cooler in SLC and shopping there before heading to smaller towns. We often have food along so that we can eat out if there is something good, or from our stash if…
