    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.

      I have no idea what you said here.

        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. πŸ™‚

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

          I was only joking

            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!

              My 2020 ride summary so far:

              Doesn't look so different, but it's quite a difference.

                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.

                                      650 calories per mile? That sounds off by a factor of five or so.

                                      A quite impressive year summary, though.

                                      You can see where I quit the gym in March.

                                      You loose weight by not going? What’s the logic? Lost muscle mass?

                                        I’d be dead after a week of doing that. I need 8 hours, but will also happily take 10.

                                          I try to do HIIT sprinting a few times each week.
                                          Anything lengthy like running or cycling for miles just gets boring. Skipping & punch bag are also dull but good work outs.

                                          Otherwise my daily go-to are suburi, juggling and planks, plus 20 flights of stairs.
                                          Here's hoping for a replacement fitbit Christmas pressy as I find them useful, especially for this chocoholic
