The half marathon was today

Girl ran it at a 12:35 pace. I ran it at a 10:05 pace. Was insane.

I probabaly couldn't do that on a bike these days...even a stationary one.

 

[trostol]

running..what is that? lol

We once tested our first dog, a Britttney, to see what was her favorite treat . In the yard, we put a biscuit, ice cube, and Snausage about 2 ft apart. She sniffed all three, then ate the Snausage, biscuit and then the ice cube.

I bought a car specifically so I wouldn’t have to run.

It's comical how Prince Harry per reports wasn't allowed to salute at the Queen's funeral because he is no longer a "working" royal....

No weakness if you have tactical nukes as a last resort....why just continuing to let this war carry on is so dangerous...I mean any war that carries on long enough gets to a point of no return.

I don't think it will ever get to that point because China and Iran would vilify them. Plus Putin is looking really bad health wise. If he dies it will be interesting to see how that changes things.

Why does everything or everyone I enjoy collapse into chaos and bullshit? I mean I can't even like a sport that isn't even athletic without it crumbling

Blargh. My best friend's dad passed away. He had been suffering from dementia for years now, but you're still not ready for the news.

I'm getting to that age where our parents are more susceptible to failing health... not fun.

I’m sorry for your loss man. I’m not sure what’s worse, dementia or suddenly losing someone.
I don’t wish dementia on anyone.

That is terrible. But I feel you, my mom is living on her own but slowly going blind. I am dreading having to make that decision to put her in a nursing home down the line.

Yeah it's tough.

My mom lives on her own but it on oxygen and it's at its highest level. At times takes 30+ minutes to catch her breath. Cherish the moments people.

I watched my aunt suffer with COPD so I know. I always remember the fun times I had with her and my uncle.

Yeah mom has that all while having part of her lung removed due to cancer.

The worst fear for us kids is thinking that some day, she will be gasping for air that never comes and is alone when it happens. But she is stubborn and loves where she lives...overlooking the ocean.

It sucks dude...as a family we are still trying to come to terms with my dad's passing this past March. I will be in his town in Italy next week and that will really be a lot to digest......last time I was there with him on travel it meant a lot to him and makes you really feel closer to your origins and roots....and of course your own mortality.

Eff cancer!

How eating after a certain time can increase cancer risk by 25%, scientists warn
