On the left is Babyman, also known as Chickenman. He has two names because he's either a babyman where he's all cuddly and wants to be cozy or he's a Chickenman because he looks like an uncooked chicken as he runs like a madman all over the house when he's hyper.
On the right is Freyja. Typically goes by 'Frey', but when she's in a hyper mood (which is extremely rare) we call her 'Turbo Cylinder' because she's very tubular in shape at high speed.
You put sandbags in the bed of a truck to get more traction on the rear wheels for acceleration purposes. The sandbags in the bed are going to make your situation worse if you have to try and stop with no traction.
A bit harsh. I was left thinking deeper about the subject matter by the end. If that's not the goal of this kind of writing then I don't know what is. I enjoyed this read.
Fiber and a fuckload of Kefir/Greek Yogurt literally reset my digestive system. No woo, pseudosciency bullshit. I just figured I needed to do something and knew fiber was good and the bacteria in greek yogurt was good for gut health. Shoveled that shit down my gullet for a week and it literally fixed me. I thought I had IBS as I had terrible bathroom experiences for over ten years. That era is over. Gotta stick with good dietary habits moving forward though.
To me, the run is what kickstarts my motivation to do anything with my day. Days/weeks where I can't run, like this past week for me (minor back/hip related pain from overdoing it in my first ever curling games last weekend) make it really hard for me to do almost anything. I'll want to do something, like play guitar or video games but the moment I sit down to do them I'm just completely meh about it, putting me at risk of doom scrolling or some other waste of time.
When I run, I feel more alive than at any other time and that feeling carries through the day and affects everything I do. Its one of the biggest positive forces in my life.
You don't have to go hard either. A 10 minute easy wake up run is unfathomably more effective than a coffee for me. That said, I drink a lot of coffee too. Haha.
I never thought I'd be a runner. Ever. I laughed when my wife asked me to go for a run the first time. I've been running for three years now. I was averaging 45km/week last year and aim to run my first marathon this summer. It had a snowballing positive effect on almost every aspect of my life so I'm 100% dedicated to keeping that ball rolling.
Yeah. In my summer running schedule I have some 1.5hr morning runs. Seems like a lot (tbf it is) but those are the days that I have the most energy throughout the day. The more I exert, the more I get in return provided I'm eating adequately.
Long morning run days leave me feeling invincible for the rest of the day.
The block button is key to curating your general daily experience on Lemmy. Obviously block anything you don't like, but also use it if you're not interested in a specific scene or topic. You can always remove the block later if you want. I think of the block button more like the "Not Interested" button on Youtube.
This, but she's also very pretty.
