TIME TO GET RRRIIIIIIIPPED!!!!! - the exercise thread

guess who went for a twenty-minute walk on hot tar with no shoes
now, guess who's exhausted and whose feet are bleeding and in pain

 

I should not have, but I did
and now my feet hurt too much to walk on and my mom took two hours to be convinced I needed band-aids
sighs
on the bright side I have learned my lesson. never again. shoes are necessary.

I am always here to give paps :)
....also, I had a dream that I was on a swim team!
my childhood goals make a comeback!

 

that sounds like a p good dream imo
my dream....
I was on a swim team with total strangers, but only because my ex told me he didn't want me on his swim team, where all my friends were
my swim team lost to his :c

 

I usually use a cane when I'm shopping. Striding at pace I can do just fine, but standing still and slowly moseying are painful.

 

My partner fixed the treadmill! I can once again do my walking every day without going outside!

 

It takes a bit to figure out good gaits.

 

Spoiler: Runner problems

Note to self: either find a way to carry more water or get your ass out of bed earlier on run days. You cannot do these long runs in 90+ degree heat with only 20 oz of water. You will literally die.

Today I only wished I was dead after I ran out of water with four miles to go, but the next two weekend runs are longer and it's sure as hell not going to be less hot in August.

 

Get a Camelback or a knockoff? Quest and Platypus both make Camelback-style water packs at half the price.

That's probably what I need. I have this weird thing about buying equipment because I feel like a Fake Athlete who doesn't really deserve gear, but no, I am running 40+ mpw and gatekeeping assholes who say I'm not doing it fast enough to count don't get a vote. Thanks.

 

!!!!!!!! so much want! want all of it ; u ;
-adds to list of things i need to look into once I stop having no money and being in college-
srsly like. I've always wanted to have arms that look like yours and be stronger than ppl expect me to be and I also have a deep desire to actually be Merida. I have horseback riding down and a bit of archery skill, clearly this is the next step.

also @PotteryWalrus hypermobility same hat!! I can overextend most all of my joints to some degree and occasionally dislocate my shoulders and ankles especially. I didn't even realize I was doing partial dislocation of my ankle all my life, just sometimes I step funny and then I have to limp for 1-5 minutes. I thought everyone did that.

 

Wait wait hold the phone it's not normal to step weirdly and end up limping for five minutes??? I thought that was just... something everyone dealt with and didn't say anything about because it was just a fact of life...

 

According to my mom it's not?? idk tho .3.
