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.

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.

Anyone here tried taking collagen on a daily basis?
I ask mainly because my running has become more difficult month by month. Some of that is the fact I'm getting older but I've also become a lot more sore after some runs and my recovery time seems to get longer and longer. Maybe I'm just old, but I'm starting to not really enjoy running because I struggle to keep a decent pace for 4 miles (especially in the heat) but I also fear the recovery time. I stopped using protein powder a while back because I just ran out and then life got busy...but I ordered some more today and I also ordered collagen to see if that helps as well. I haven't done any research on collagen other than hearing several podcasts that talk about the benefits."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes.

I don't take collagen. One of the reasons I do creatine is to hopefully help with my recovery time. Honestly, I don't know if it does anything, but I feel pretty good so I keep taking it. My body isn't like it was 25 years ago, where I could spring off the couch after not running for a month, run 10 miles, and be fine, but I run 4 miles a day (except Sunday
) and don't feel any ill effects during the day (well, if I have been sitting for 2 hours and get up I have that old man limp for a while, but I think that's the years rather than the running). I don't run very fast, but then I never did. For a while I was struggling to keep under a 9 minute pace but I am now pretty consistently between 8:00 and 8:30, so I feel decent about that for an old guy (I forget how old you are, but I think I have you by 5-10 years).
I am always looking for more ways to fight off age, so if anyone has used collagen with success I'm happy to listen!Comment

My wife takes it frequently. All I know is that tastes terrible. She has to gag it down.
