Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1hThere’s also a sort of alcohol sugar gum thing used in some candies in the U.S. that probably makes this worse and this coulda been part of the problem on an empty stomach. Because it was bulked specialty candy I’d have to look up the company online to possibly check the ingredients list. 000
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1hI think it’s related to ppl w/ autoimmune/inflammatory conditions worsened by sugar. Too much time passed b/t my a.m. shake and getting out so I had 4 pieces of gummy ring candy right before setting out. I’ve basically been testing it out. I shoulda done some prosciutto & put the candy in my shorts 100
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1hIt’s so creepy when the white house staff have to look more and more like his daughter. His daughter is totally a SA victim 👀. That’s basically the only book tell-all I would buy from this Admin. Hey, if Sharon Stone can finally tell her secrets about SA and her father, one day she could too. 030
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1hAlso 💞 and need to replace this so I’m using it more often for the extra hydration 000
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1hWe also both use the invisible one too and have at least two containers at a time. so it’s easy for travel and outings. It never looks greasy. That’s my husband’s fave…he tries to steal my peter thomas roth for his face sometimes, but I give him the stink eye because it’s ~ $65 & is for running 010
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1hOh, it’s definitely worth ordering directly from the super goop website. We actually got the huge size of the daily outdoor active one when we lived in Denver and we just put some tape on it and threw it in the car door for the CA move. It’s nice always having that at hope for both of us 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1hI’ve tried a shit ton of sunscreen brands from Murad to famous and also mid-line drugstore Dermatology brands. SuperGoop is solid. I first tried a sampler years ago and now I have 3 types from them…tinted, the invisible one, and the sports/active one as well. 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1hThey all come in small enough containers to stash in my running shorts too when I’m uncertain about distance/time. I also bring tissue so between that and sometimes my running shirt I usually have something. The hat helps with eyes/forehead so I’m not getting so much sunscreen in my eyes when I run 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 1h🥰 I use supergoop (mostly arms/shoulders,etc) and peter thomas roth (mostly face, neck/decolletage). Sometimes I’ll use the PTR on just my face if I’m running low but it’s super breathable and helps me sweat better and I don’t turn as red as I do under some of the super goop (and all other brands). 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 2hHe sounds like someone’s deranged grandfather. Since his brain is broken and he’s so old, Trump doesn’t remember that the way men could talk in decades past is no longer socially acceptable outside their own dinner table or church meeting room. 010
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 2hI mostly don’t like the “for you” feed here anymore…(this is probably a register region issue in America and maybe some other places), but at least it hasn’t gotten as bad as when I left twitter. I need to put the time in to follow more specific lists and hashtags 000
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 2hThe U.S. finally doing the right thing after years of obdurate isolationism is not something I’m proud of as an American….granted, my father and my grandparents were still in Europe at this point. 010
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 2hI don’t think catastrophic PTSD this child will now experience comes without causing physical harm. Our bodies don’t exist independently of what impacts our brain….the most important organ, which impacts the heart and the nervous system and everything else. 000
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 3hBecause this is about a law enforcement culture built on supporting violence against children, youth and women. It is in part what has always told the truth on America as a country and who is still running things….the KKK forces types don’t stop at lynching and that’s the truth. 000
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 3h#5KADay 821+ #running a split ~ 7.7 km Monday after a fueling mistake landed me in hot water with bad stomach aches during my run. Windy conditions but pleasant and out with sun cream with it being later than planned. Just pivot. #runningpunks #runchat #runsky 3462
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 18h🥰 A lot of people don’t know that about 1/4 an avocado is a serving. Healthy is relative to your size and what you’re eating instead. Avocados definitely aren’t some special magical fruit that can’t be replaced with greens, nuts, seeds and berries….I prefer a meal to just an 🥑 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 20hI ran a local city 5k race in Montana in high school to help rehab from knee surgery (ripped it up 🎿). I don’t remember anything about it, but my knee is still on track 😊 010
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 23hoh yeah, hopefully you have a big freezer and can go in on a cow with friends. Makes a big difference. If rabbit is affordable there I have some recipes to pass on. 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Oh, Littleton Meats was really good too. But tells you a lot when a Montanan living in Denver goes farther afield to get quality meat. Bezos absolutely destroyed the fish/meat counters at Whole Foods, most are trash now. 000
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Where in the midwest are you? I was shocked with the poor quality of OK beef, CO was better but a fair number of the beef farmers selling at the farmers markets are using bad butchers and their sky high prices with faux quality cuts have me using the Westminster good WFs that had a good meat counter 210
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Tri tip is big here? The tri-tip cuts I see here aren’t good enough quality for ~ 15.99/lb that’s for sure. Can’t fool a Montanan. The butcher cut is up to 12.99/lb and I only marinade it because I love super tender meat. I’ll start braising when the temps drop/rain comes. 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026#5KADay 820+ #running relaxed ~10k sunday. The L knee let me know to listen if I want to keep going far. First ~ 6.5k was sweet and easy, then real rough for a windy 2km, with a strong finish. Rough weekend with a couple good bits with good cooking #Runningpunks #Runsky #Runchat #cooksky #foodsky 4662
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Thanks Elizabeth 😊 BTW, what run vest do you use for your long runs? What closure styles do you like? I noticed there are clasps and there’s sorta bungee materials. Basically, I’m sensitive about motion/jostling and things moving my clothes around….like I gave up on trying waist packs 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 12/10/2026Real pho is the best medicine so pho broth seems like a great try in times like these. Sorry for your loss (t appetite and immune system for now). 120
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Need mo fudes, just finished ~ 10k….someone needs to recharge me….your Sunday run looks awesome! 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The candied sweet potatoes have always been too sweet for me….I could maybe at a scoop of sour cream gelato and dig in for dessert 🥰 010
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Does this mean you love 🍁 syrup too? Could you be the 🥞 👑, or french toast? 120
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I guess the lesson here is that if you are a woman runner and a shoe immediately reminds you of platform shoes the first time you lace up at home…..just take it back to the store. I’m going to try a different lacing technique to see if I can salvage the NSP, or I’ll clean it for a street shoe 🤷♀️ 020
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026It’s official…the Trilogy HM was definitely changed to a 10km due to conditions in the WV Mountains. The finishers are rolling in and are running friends are wrapping up their 3-days of #trailruns 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The Nike Structure Plus is basically a bunch of ideas thrown into one shoe ruined in part by a big bulky tongue and rigid foam that also causes nerve compression the more the foot expands during a long run…and this is sized up. So the official shoe reviewers just called it a slow shoe to 🤐 120
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026The MtCs are definitely a proper high volume shoe that work for everything but are not going to produce extra speed or bounce like the brooks glycerin (which I would still wear if still PT approved). Those Nike Structure Plus’ are a cushion 🩼for short distances….running on a slow cloud 🤣 120
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026What brand is your run vest? 😇 Did you try the kind that uses the bungee string too and you prefer the clip closures, more secure maybe? My next run target is 3 hrs…and probably time to get used to 🏃♀️ with a vest. 100
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026These scenes really make me wish the countryside 🥰 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Well done! At least now you know 8 is too much anyway 100
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Yeah! Getting through the injuries is peak strength. Nice job Will 😊 000
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Ah, sorry to hear that it wasn’t what you hoped. Stinks to get sick ahead of an event. 020
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026This is a great idea since I get the special ice gel packs that ship with my injectable asthma drug. Thanks, Cyrinne! 😊 010
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026#5KADay 819+ #running ~10.8k Saturday. 6.09 km speedy work at 5’47” avg pace (MtCP1 👟) and ~4.7 km relaxed run to bakery & brews with hubby and pup after….so cooldown/stretch is off, but I’ll survive. Was very windy 🏃♀️conditions yesterday. (Our home internet is down) #Runchat #Runsky #Runningpunks 4642
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026I deleted the wrong post yesterday for the WV Trilogy 50 miler (there were only 29 finishers, but 96 finishes total for 50k + 50mi). Today’s final run events should have started already but might be harder to track runsignup.com/Race/Results..., 1pm eastern is the finisher cutoff #runchat #runskyrunsignup.comWest Virginia TrilogyThe West Virginia Trilogy is on Friday October 9, 2026 to Sunday October 11, 2026.

Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Interesting, I get too hot and can rarely stand wearing anything resembling a tshirt once the temp is ~ 55F (that’s the no sleeves t too). I do see women in california wearing them with sports bras on, but maybe they are only doing short runs….or were inexperienced. Thanks for the tip! 110
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026In the first round I had the cherry cider (nice and tart), then the nitro stout. The husband’s hazy wasn’t bad, but the west coast IPA was fairly terrible. I like running to places and making my hubby meet me out. 010
Gigi @squirrellyaltruist.bsky.social · 11/10/2026lots more bathroom access at trail heads and rural parks imo 000
