Exactly what I am looking for. Can it carry supplies, like basic first aid, phone, and some clif bars and stuff?

Yeah, I have the 5 liter version, so that gives you a bit of room for a phone / jacket / thermo blanket and stuff. It also has some easily accessible pouches for gels and small items. There is a 12 liter version if you need more space.

The best part is that fits nice and tight. It becomes part of your body, no bouncing around.

Its OK though cause I pretty much am a lame-o with my plain old shoes.

The shoes you posted are fine. They aren't some classy dress shoes, but they fit perfectly in the "boring shoes no one will notice" which is probably what you were going for in the first place. Most people who don't particularly care about fashion (which is the vast majority of people) won't think twice about them.

Just got myself this :


I've been getting into spirits in the past year or two and found that I love gin. I have 3-4 kinds which is enough for now, I also enjoy whisky but scotch is overpriced for what you get I think. This will be my first really good rum and it's going to be my "sipping it neat" one, I have barbancourt 3 stars for old fashioned and such and some kraken for coke.

Next up will be getting myself a nice bourbon or rye

$600 worth of EPAT treatments in a last-ditch effort to avoid major surgery on my tendon. It's the first thing I've tried in 3 years that has shown any improvement at all. I might be back to lifting next year if all goes well!

How was my post smug? They are normal boring shoes and that's a truth. I am part of that majority that doesn't really care about fashion and therefore wouldn't think twice about those shoes. They are very normal shoes. I wasn't saying that dumb plebeians wouldn't notice that they were ugly. I don't wear slip-ons, but that's pretty much the only reason why I wouldn't wear them.

Hydration pack talk: I just got a Nathan HPL 020 and it's fantastic. 2l bladder and enough storage for the essentials. It's the cheapest and lightest of the packs I looked at, and it's comfortable even on bare skin, very happy with it so far. Done a few 8-10 milers with it on local trails and I'd recommend it to anyone that needs a running pack. I got it to train and to use for a 50 mile race this year and it's exactly what I wanted in a pack.

My resting heart rate is 142 (i'm 5'10" and 140lbs with no cholesterol or land whale issues), had all kinds of ECG's and stuff and told that i'm still 'ok' in spite of peaking at 159bpm in a 24 hour review.

I'm pretty sure 58 is perfectly fine.

Peaking at 159bpm is perfectly normal, 142 resting is definitely not. Adult average is usually around 70, under 60 is common for people in good physical condition. Even if it's steady, constant pulse of over 100 is a big strain on your heart and you seriously need to see another doctor.

I had a similar treatment on my knee and it was some of the most excruciating pain I have felt. They kept telling me it shouldn't hurt. Come to find out I had a shattered Tibia Plateau and they were literally rattling my bones.

Seems to be. It's an adjustment to shower then go into the bedroom to get dressed and put on makeup, but none of my poo poo is scattered all across the bathroom anymore, so it's much easier to tidy and clean. I also put an organizer in the drawer, so instead of having all my makeup shoved in a makeup bag, All my brushes are in one compartment, shadows in another, lash curler, eyeliner and mascara in another, etc. It's much easier to find it all.

Speaking of shoes and being a landwhale, I, for the first time in my life got "fitted" for real running shoes. Tried on a bunch at this local place, and went with these Brooks Glycerin 12 ones that felt the most supportive and comfy to walk in. As a bonus, they were by far the least neon looking shoes I tried.

Yup, worst pain I've ever felt too. Doctor told me it's more effective at higher levels, so I had him crank it up as high as possible and he had me point out where on the tendon it hurt the most so he could focus it there. Like you say, totally worth the pain & money to be able to walk without pain again.
