    That's nuts. It's like that here but not nearly to that degree!

    Please love yourself.

      I love my local bike shop. I was willing to spend an extra 100 for the service they gave, which was really good, and they also did a repair I couldn't manage as I didn't have the correct tool. They fixed it the same day.

      I don't think it's worth spending an extra $2000, but in reality the chance of me getting a $4K bike is zero.

      I also think as a general point it's worth trying to help small local businesses like these survive.

      I was only joking

        I drove the par 4 #9 green today, I think it was the first time I even tried

        They had the tees way up near the ladies tees, it was maybe 215 carry over the water, so no big deal, but it was a nice change.

              Crossed over 3,000 miles running this year a few days ago. Definitely wasn't a plan or goal, but just pretty consistently getting out there.

              Probably the best shape I'll ever be in.....and no fukkin races, lol.

              Still having a good time. 🙂

                Wow, Rich that's amazing. I thought I was doing really well at about half that distance on a bike.

                  But, remember:

                  1. I'm an old geezer, not a MAMIL
                  2. I'm walking

                  Still, not too shabby:

                    Rich, running 3000 miles is insane! Wow.

                    George, I never knew you took walking so seriously. Respect!

                      Wow, great job. Based on your estimate mile and 10k time the marathon estimate is way off. You could get near 3 hours and certainly qualify for Boston.

                      You’ve put in the miles for a marathon for sure.

                        Yes, Rich's 5K and 10K times are crazy. I believe my fastest 10K time was something like 55 minutes, and I was toast after that.

                          My runs have been hampered by a trick knee and some kind of breathing issue. I have some issues walking down stairs on occasion. My mileage this year will likely end up around 1500 miles. I need to dedicate more time to getting the knee back in shape. Lungs seem to not work as well as they did 3 years ago when I could still run a sub 7:00 mile. That's long gone - fatigue very quickly. I'm scheduled for a lung function test in January.

                                @jon-nyc you do about 5 miles per workout, then? That's what I do, but it's not every day for me. I try to do every other day.

                                  I'm really looking forward to getting back into that routine and getting my weight back up.

                                    Yep. A little less now that I don't do them alone. I used to be religious about getting them in every day, if the weather sucked I'd go to the local mall and walk if I had to. I don't do that now of course.

                                      My sleep has improved during Covid, mostly because I usually get an hour or hour and a half nap in every day.

                                      At night I'm still in the 4 to 4.5 range though.
