    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

        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!

            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.

              Youโ€™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? Whatโ€™s the logic? Lost muscle mass?

                                        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

                                          THat's great, Rich.

                                          Here's me. All walking.

                                          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? Whatโ€™s the logic? Lost muscle mass?

                                          The calories are daily totals I suspect And yes, 5 days a week at the gym built muscle mass that slipped away in a few months. Iโ€™ll get it back though.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
