friendly reminder that you should not pay any attention to what your watch or wearable says about your training 'readiness' or predicted race time

fuuuuck i just realized that the future idealized version of myself cant exist without current me being the catalyst for change and doing hard things. has anybody heard about this

Every morning I go to get my 3-year-old out of bed and ready for school. Every morning he asks me the same question: “Did you run or ride your bike?” I’m not sure if this is a success or not. 🤣

Good morning beautiful people

the mold growing in my water bottle said you would say that

I'm in the McDonald's drive through guessing mobile order codes tryna hit for sumn crazy

When I empty the dishwasher and fold laundry without my wife asking me.

Dude behind me at lunch ordered “The usual.” Got hit back with a “and that would be?” Has to be absolutely devastating. Can’t even imagine.

The CIA is absolutely making a dick database with these things

“I don’t do politics” well now you doing 5 dollar gas nigga

@HankFrank best of luck moving forward! what was the biggest change you made to go from 3:30 to 2:55?

For anyone wondering why I’m approaching this the way I am, a lot of it comes from what happened to me in 2023. I started running in 2020 when Covid shut the gyms down. I was a powerlifter. When gyms reopened, I kept running on the side, maybe 10-20 miles a week. In late 2021 I decided I wanted to run a marathon as a bucket-list thing. I signed up for Boston 2022 through a charity close to me, raised over $10,000, and finished in 3:30:28. I thought I’d be one and done. But that race changed something. I wanted to come back and qualify on my own. In 2023 I signed up for a marathon in May to go after a BQ. Training was going well. Four weeks out, I was on an easy morning run and had to call an Uber five minutes from my apartment because my foot hurt so bad I couldn’t walk. Grade 3 stress fracture in my left second toe. Out 13 weeks. DNS. I signed up for another marathon that October. Great training cycle. Four weeks out, pain in my hip. Went back to my doctor. Grade 1 stress fracture in my left femoral neck. Out 9 weeks. DNS. After the second one, my doctor had me get a DEXA scan. Osteoporosis. At 28 years old. So in one year I trained for two marathons and made it to the start line of zero. In May 2024 I finally made it back and ran my second marathon in 2:55:04. It was a BQ, but I knew it probably wouldn’t be enough for Boston 2025. So I signed up for another marathon that September and ran 2:51:54, which put me 1:15 under the eventual cutoff. Then I ran 2:47:27 at Boston in 2025. I’ve signed up for 7 marathons total and missed 2 start lines. This build means a lot to me. I’ve put months of work into it and I’m in the best shape of my life. But I’ve also had two races taken from me late in training because I didn’t get answers soon enough. With my bone density, I don’t get to just hope for the best when something feels off. That’s why I’m getting the MRI today.

It must be hell to have autism in DR loud ass music everywhere and everyone touching you and shit

@tim_roozendaal I have an opportunity to receive a free pair of the Skechers Aero Razors from a brand representative. I’ve always worn 9.5, my normal shoe size, but I’m considering wearing size 10 moving forward. Just hoping I won’t regret it.

@trebrav0 It is quite normal to have +1/2 or even 1 us size up from normal shoes yes. Are you looking to get a new pair?

Running shoes used to be very narrow in the toebox but I feel like newly released shoes are getting more and more space. They are still not footshaped shoes but they are also not the crammed coffins they used to be.

I totally dominated you at the museum dude. Pondered every piece for a couple seconds longer. Scratched my chin with more curiosity.
