Mine‘s getting so accustomed to cold showers that I a) absolutely do not mind cold water for swimming etc. anymore and b) could not enjoy warm or hot showers anymore. They just weren’t nice at all.

    I’ve been running every single day for the past 4.5 years or so. Not counting the days anymore. Related to that, my smart scale puts my physical age at 17 years below my real age. Before I started running, the same scale had my physical age 21 years above my real age.

      This reads like a math problem.
      “Assuming a linear decrease of physical age through running, in which year did the physical age match the real age?”

        That’s actually a great insight! I remember opening a botyle of wine to celebrate that.

        Just for fun, years ago i did a linear chart for my marathon times, and estimated that about two years ago I should have broken the sound barrier.

      Reminds me I still need to make a new set of running t-shirts

      1. I plan on outliving you
      2. Runners are objectively crazy
      3. I run to escape death

      I’m on a sabbatical from running over the holidays but I would routinely run 10k and normally do about 30k a week.

        Where are you having them made? I’ve been looking for a print shop that would do the print on the back, where it’s more likely that someone would read them when I’m running.

          Dunno probably Google it. Find a printshop on my area like “Newmarket Ontarians t-shirt printing” and realize it’s ass so instead go “Newmarket printing” and reach out to the top 10 and see who can offer or provide a contact.

          The future is “I know a guy”" fuck this internet shit.

          Human nature should be “yo I need my books balanced” and a"sure I can help"

          The problem is everyone googles shit. Just ask your goddamn neighbor first. Chat may it not help but chat are idiots. Fuck chat.

          Meet your goddamn neighbours everyone. Those are the people that matter in life.

          Edit - I’m drunk and high AF so take my opinion for what it is. I’m out here wildin’ listening to Tierra Whack doing “Black Magic Woman” thinking this world ain’t ready for her. I’m fucking right btw. Y’all fuckers ain’t ready for her.

        Not too bad. But to be honest, I started mixing trail running into my schedule. It’s fun, better for your joints (even though I’ve never had problems), and as a runner gets older, longer distances become more appealing. I’m beginning to consider some easier ultras, and they are usually on trails.

        Running is beneficial for knees and ankles over medium to long timeframes. There’s a 100 year old guy that runs 10k every day and his knees and ankles are doing fine.
