Yep my elementary school teacher’s cat died in the dryer too. Hearing that as a 5 year old, I have always kept in mind cats must stay away from the dryer.

Definitely plan to listen to my body as much as possible. I have a tendency to overwork myself when it comes to exercise. But hopefully running is a bit easier to judge.

Thanks! Yeah I think eating will be the most annoying thing for me to do. I’m bad at eating enough. And good to know about walking. I kinda thought if it comes down to it, walking isn’t too bad to bring my HR down. I’m using Brooks Ghost Max 3 right now and I like them so far but I don’t have much to compare them to. Saucony Triumph was my first running shoe. They honestly don’t feel too different. Lots of cushion.

I’ve been almost exclusively running on concrete lol. Though there is a HS track very close so I can do that more. It’s just so boring. Luckily I haven’t had any shin splint pain and I’ve gotten to easy 5k’s so it’s looking good so far.

One thing I haven’t looked into is the best way to hydrate/fuel during a run. I haven’t gotten to a point where that’s necessary as long as I prepare properly. But I’m pretty sure anything over 10K it’s a good idea to bring something. which means I should probably buy something to hold stuff

Thanks a lot! I really hope I don’t shit myself. That sounds awful lol

Ah that makes sense. I do love when things get associated like that. That’s how traditions get started sometimes. Eg: watch this show every June lol.

I’m now 5 episodes in and I don’t know WHATS going on lol. Love the uniqueness of it though. The animation is different. The long quiet pauses are different. Super relaxing pace. But not a relaxing premise.

I just started that too! Just finished episode 3 last night. I don’t see how it fits summer nights but I’m happy u got the vibes figured out.

What did u do or didn’t do to get banned?

Thanks! Yeah i was searching the internet for other ragdoll pics at various months and that’s what I came to with. Of course they’re all different, but I think the range is 4-8 months. So i’ll just pick an easy date to remember that falls in there.

Love the pic of your cats on the stairs btw:)

Challenge accepted. It’s only been one week so far… I guess my ideal plan right now is two days on, one day off. Every 6th run will be a higher intensity run and the rest will be zone 2 minimum 5 kilometers. Aside from noticing a slow change in my workouts, my average resting heart rate should hopefully consistently decrease.

I should’ve included her current size. Not sure how to add pics to the post. No idea how much she weighs in those first pics but currently she looks like this and weighs 11.3 pounds. The pics in the post are 3.5 years ago.

This is what she looks like 3.5 years later

She does look elderly I suppose lol but she’s def under a year here. Was just trying to figure out her birth month

Oh… I was thinking like 4 months… lol I’m trying to figure out her birthday month

Ah yes proper fueling is something I never actually do on purpose. Definitely need to come up with a routine that includes that. It definitely does feel counter intuitive that slow runs help you run farther faster.

Yeah I’m sure my real max is higher. Going by my age, it’s 184. But pretty sure I can hit 200. So I guess I should make it 200, but i haven’t hit that in a long time. Figured using 194 is better than 184.

I have an Apple Watch so cant do the lactate threshold thing.

Sounds good. Just did another 5K keeping my average at 148bpm. 10-minute/mile pace. Relatively fast cadence. My main method of slowing down is lowering my stride but I think I’m keeping the same cadence as my faster runs. I guess time will tell if this is working.

I can’t figure out how many episodes I watched in one session… but I finished Vinland saga in one weekend. Nothing TOO crazy but I feel like that’s all I did that weekend. It’s only 8 hours between two days I guess but it felt like much longer.

Great show. I finished that a few months ago. Definitely underrated. I’ve seen it recommended on Reddit a few times so not underground at all, but definitely a bit under appreciated. Animation is gorgeous for most of it and the whole thing is so eerie.

Oh that’s right. I hope it helps it out a bit. Honestly it would be amazing if YYH got the HxH treatment

I’m slow
