Running’s a hobby, right? A healthy one at that. I started running 3-4 miles almost daily since August, lost a good 15-20* pounds at my peak this year, and just this week I joined the big running clubs in the city on the Strava app AND did the big weekly Monday Night Run. I also did 3.5 miles Monday morning and then the 5.5 mile run with the group that evening. That 5.5 is the furthest I’ve run since I picked running back up as a hobby. A friend of mine has wanted to get me to 10 miles, but even when I was running in my 20s I stopped at around 6 because of knee issues. Idk if I’ll get to 10, but I like where my pace is and that I can get to 6 miles now.
Also, tomorrow’s the Thanksgiving 5k I signed up for the other day, so that’s this week too.
After the new year I think I’m going to change my race preference from 5Ks to 10Ks. I’ve been going to a race once every 2-3 weeks, pretty much.
Retail candles are usually hardened by mixing with a micro-wax such as Paraflint. If you're only using bees wax then it would be difficult but you could try mixing fine additives such as tree resin after melting the wax, or you could add calcium sulfate hemihydrate. Please note that whatever you add will have a scent which may be undesirable.
I've been working on beating Prometheus in Hades 2 with 32 Fear. I've already taken Chronos down at that difficulty multiple times but the surface route is absolutely brutal on me -- I keep getting stuck at Strife.
