I have a goal. My goal is to be able to bend over and tie a pair of shoes onto my feets and then go to the gym. The last few years have not been kind…
Fight the good fight!
Running is not on my horizon, it never was. I just don't want to atrophy into one of those gelatinous blobs on a hoveround. Chronic pain is a serious demotivator, though. I can see how someone ends up that way.
I hear you, brother! I have a condition where if I stay sitting (driving too) for too long, I turn into a sore old man. Me and my family, exercise is the only non-steroidal anti-inflammatory that works on us, so I’m like the Red Queen, running to stay in place. I find if I don’t exercise regularly, things get worse in a hurry.Good luck and you’re clearly doing the right thing.>
Let's see, a couple of years back, in my first (and probably last) 5k to raise money for my kid's school, I was a hair under an 8 minute mile for the whole run, so…yeah. I run in the hills so running in the flats is different for me. Haven't run short distances for speed in a long time. I just keep track of my times as a general indication of health.
I have heard that your speed in a 1.5 mile run is a good indication of your cardiovascular health.
I'm not the fastest runner, sadly. On my best day I might be able to do that run, but I'd need a respirator afterwards FFS.
That was a long time ago. These days I swim a mile, five days a week if I'm diligent. Takes me a while, but there's no stopping. Much easier on the knees and foot bones.
"If we want transparency, if we want specifics, the most relevant thing that people can look at is what is his plan for their tax bill."
For me? Bupkis.
Windows and Trump, both on their way to being irrelevant failures?
You keep it up, pal, and I'm setting you up on a blind date with Sarah Hepola.
I'd take Sarah Hepola over Kellyanne Conway any day.
Woe is us.
That photo again? You're paying for my therapy.
Get in line! I'll hold him, you hit him.
BTW, had a bitchin' run today. Fastest time in over a month.
According to my phone, I did 1.5 miles in 35 minutes. Carry on.
When I was in the Air Force they were on a huge aerobics kick, and you had to do 1.5 mi in 12 minutes or get a court-martial. I hit 11 minutes once.
Callyson probably finds this humorous if not contemptible, which is why I bring it up.
