Kipchoge goes 2:01:09 at the Berlin Marathon, breaking his own world record. Someone is going to get an official sub-2 eventually. So incredibly fast."What are you prepared to do?" - Jimmy Malone

Some day that will happen but I wonder if it’ll happen in my lifetime. He’s basically running a 4:37 pace and only needs to drop a couple secs per mile, but that isn’t very easy to do. He also had perfect conditions with the course and weather.Originally posted by Joe Public View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

After my recent health scares, my walking really dwindled. I am now back to 40+ miles a week (140 miles this month so far). This month, I resumed walking up to US 89. It is still a loooong walk to get up there
I am a whole lot slower than I used to be, 16 - 18 min/mile vs 13 - 14. It is nice to be retired
I may be small, but I'm slow.
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."Comment

It does my heart good to hear from you. Glad you're able to walk, even if it's not as fast as it used to be.Originally posted by happyone View PostAfter my recent health scares, my walking really dwindled.

A couple of months ago, while I was strolling the neighborhood, I passed my former bishops house (he is now in another ward, and was my bishop when I started walking) He asked me if I knew how far I had walked since I started. I don't exactly, but it as about 15 yrs ago and I figure I cover at least 30 miles a week - some doing some quick arithmatic in my head, I came up with an estimate - 15 yrs x 30 mpw x 50 weeks = 22500 miles. He was stunned, his follow up question was how many pairs of shoes had I gone through. I get between 400 and 500 miles on a pair of shoes, so that is roughly 3 pairs/year. That totals to 45 pairs
Kind of hard to comprehend.
By the way, I am now as healthy as I probably ever will be again. Still diabetic, but it is under control.
Took the dogs for a walk to night in the snow. There was just enough snow on the sidewalks/roads to crunch but not enough make it feel like one is walking through sand. I find walking in light snow at night to be an almost religious experience.
I may be small, but I'm slow.
