Hi All - looking for your insights / guidance on a situation I am facing with my landlord. We notified them that we were going to break our lease, and let them know we would plan to be out by a certain date. They started advertising it, at a higher rate, for the day after we let them know we would be out. After they did walkthroughs they determined the place needs paint and the next tenant wants to have the floors redone.

Our landlord then informed us we need to be out earlier than our notified date, or we could pay day by day, or go to the next month. Using this info we pushed a few days further than our original notified date and now our landlord is suggesting legal action by the other

As I become more interested in my personal finance goals, I have come to the realization that while I prefer to have minimal credit cards, it makes sense from a Credit Score perspective to have a higher total limit so my utilization is lower.

​

I have monthly spending of approximately $3500-4000 on my primary card, Amex Blue Cash Preferred, which we pay in full each month. I also have a long standing local credit union Visa card from approximately 15 years ago that I keep due to the longevity and utilize maybe $100-200 per month, paid in full.

​

In an attempt to increase my total credit limit, which currently sits at $38.5k ($33.5k - Amex, $5k - Visa).

My wife asked me once again to make sure I am visible when I do my evening runs, and so I feel obliged to comply.

I dont want anything that is restrictive or could be warm, and wondered what this team of runners utilizes.

Thanks.

I have been passed down some old cast iron skillets and would love some identificaton assistance. One appears to be clearly block EPU Griswold, but the second I have no real idea. Any assistance is appreciated on the #8 skillet in the photos linked here.

Looking for a BIFL set of bunk beds, with safety rails. Any recommendations?

Event: Falmouth Sprint Triathlon

Distances: Swim 1/3 mile, Bike 9 Miles, Run 5k

Target: sub 1-hr

Training: Created a plan based on using the Triathlete’s Training Bible. I selected a plan that targeted 400 annual hours and utilized that to break down the weekly and daily target hours. About 2-3 weeks into the plan, I realized I like Jack Daniels training plans for running and scrapped the TTB run workouts and used the JD ones. I attempted to utilize some of the workouts from the book, but really ended up “just riding” a bunch and doing the JD workouts with some swimming included. Training totals up to the race were: 525 miles run (81 hrs), 1100 miles biked (67 hrs), and 29000 yards

I had a warm up event a couple weeks ago that went well (although I didn't hit any of my very lofty goals). It was my second ever tri and I was able to improve all my splits/paces including my transitions, but I ran into one annoying issue... My racing flat insoles pushed forward and bunched up when I inserted my feet into the already bungeed shoes. As a result I had to loosen my laces and readjust the insoles, losing valuable time. My T2 ended up being 1:07 when it could have probably been in the low 40s or even upper 30s.

I need them in to avoid blisters, so I would like your recommendations.

What do you use to keep them in place?

How do you folks manage pacing when taking on two workouts in a day? I attempt to keep hard days hard and easy ones easy which can lead to a hard workout on the bike in the morning and another at lunch for running.

After doing the morning cycling workout of threshold work, my run workout sucked miserably. I was off by about 1 minute in pace for my work intervals and I couldn't get my legs moving in the 800m sections.

Do you throttle the paces in your second workout and adjust second workout paces down to reflect your prefatigued state?

There are lots of options online, but have not come across any in the lower price range <$200 that have similar dimensions to my body. I would like to try some on first.

Where have you been able to try them locally before purchasing?

For those of you who live in the 13 states that allow consumers to choose their electricity provider, how do you go about selecting the supplier and terms of contract?

In many instances, it doesn't amount to a ton of money, but for a few minutes each 4,6,9,12,24 months (dependent on contract length), it is something I figure you dig into.

When selecting the contract type and length, what data do you use to back up your decision?

An example of something I consider using is below:

Do you use a self created plan as guided by something like The Triathletes Training Bible, or do you utilize a purchased plan?

I am interested in hearing how you get/create your plans and how many years you have been doing it. I trained for my first triathlon this past season and did poorly in the swim, very well on the bike, and OK in the run. I feel like I want to take another step this season, but not sure if I want to use another prepackaged plan or try to create my own.

Goals

Training

I followed a modified Daniels 5k plan. Basically I did his workouts, but total mileage wasn't in the prescribed 40-50 miles. I averaged 22 miles for the 13 weeks. Most of the workouts I selected the smallest number of repetitions, and my weekly long run was only 60-70 minutes. I felt like I struggled for 2-4 of the workouts through the training plan
