Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all.
Great picture of you and your Mom, love it!
season's greeting to all
I've just eaten Christmas lunch (it's 3:35 PM here in the UK) and that's just how I feel too!
Nice photo! You're both looking rather well.
Merry Christmas to all!
[Edit to fix mixed-up quotes - too much wine and cranberry-and-port sauce I think - hic!]
I just got a great Christmas present- I am officially now in the 120's in weight- 129.5 pounds which was my goal for Febuary 13th!!!! I've dropped 15 pounds since November 16th with walking. I got up really early a couple days ago and walked all day (it was an amazing 68 degree day with gorgeous, balmy winds blowing the palm trees.) So I set a goal of 25 miles which is crazy, and walked all day off and on through midnight. I took breaks often, took my time eating meals, and just enjoyed being outside. It was actually a great day (listened to music.) So...
I walked 28.6 miles! That's 61,343 steps.
For Christmas, my sons got a set of wireless headphones for me :) I have an iphone 8 (the large one) and when the plug-in jiggles, it changes songs in the middle of what you're listening to. VERY annoying. I've tried several of the Apple plug in pieces (in the jack) and they all do it.
So I thought I'd ask an interesting question- if you exercise or walk, what music do you listen to? I vary the beat of the songs so I walk fast, and slow. If you want to start walking, find these on Amazon and give the samples a listen if you're not familiar with them. The Troll Song is my fav to walk to. Don't laugh, it's a great walking beat!
Can't Stop The Feeling (Troll Film Song) (Justin Timberlake)
Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It) (Beyonce)
The King Of Wishful Thinking (Go West)
Shut Up And Dance (Walk The Moon)
Down (Jay Sean)
HandClap (Fitz and the Tantrums)
Iron Man 3 (Brian Tyler)
All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey) (For the holidays)
Feliz Navidad (Jose Feliciano) (for the holidays)
Joy To The World (Mannheim Steamroller) (for the holidays)
I listen to rock n roll when I work out or walk. I live Tom Petty, Ozzy, Kansas, Styx, John Denver, The Cars, Meatloaf. I could go on but you get the gist of it. It depends on what I'm doing as far as tempo goes, if I'm running or if I'm doing weights, the tempo changes a bit but the bands don't lol. I know that I work out harder and run faster and longer when I listen to music.
I've jogged or walked hundreds of miles in my life & for music I like a strings of disco/dance/upbeat cheery music, songs like
Strawberry Letter #23 (Brothers Johnson)
It's Alright & We're Coming Home (Maxine Nightinggale)
Groovejet (It this Ain't Love - Spiller / Sophie Ellis Bexar)
Lady (Hear Me Tonight - Modjo)
but since when I enjoy the upbeat it causes me to run at a faster pace I then I need to string together slower tempo music to recover so I can finish the entire jog/walk such as:
Shame (Evelyn Champange King)
Good Enough (Sarah McLachlan)
Posession (Sarah MacLachlan)
Little Lies (Fleetwood Mac)
And then I switch back to the faster tempo string of songs. I will have about 75% - 85% faster tempo songs during a jog/walk. I typically job about 5 miles but warm up with a walk of a mile before and after the jog. To save on wear and tear on my joints I will be soon switching to 3 miles jog & 2 miles before & after warmup since I have no interests in those 10K races and such.
I've such a massive CD collection I have popular music of all types from the 40s to the 00s and lots of traditional old European Classical although my music from the genres called Rap & American Country are extremely sparse. Also the newest autotuned styles of music I tend to avoid.
When I'm in good strings of consecutive work days jogging, usually during my lunch hour, the streaks can last for months and years at a time disrupted only by vacations or changing jobs and believe you me the music you listen too makes all the difference in the world to enjoying and meeting your pace and improvement goals as requirements or being so bored stiff by the jogging that it ain't long before your stop your jogging / walking. Don't worry if you have company jogging as you can talk loud enough to hear over the head phones or you can take one of the ear buds out while speaking. The track or sidewalks you have available also make a huge difference with how much the job entertains your and makes your feel good but there is much less control over that for individual joggers, why most tracks in the USA are no longer even available to the general public to use to jog on so they must use more dangerous and bad for the body's joints sidewalks.

Great pic! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Another poster cat. You should go into business as an animal photographer! That pic makes me want to go to sleep :)
When I walk (also when I used to run) I have never listened to music (in fact I have never owned a devuce that would permit me to do so), I just disengage brain and let it wander to where it wants to go whilst keeping situational awareness of pavement and roads.
That's not going to stop me suggesting soemthing for you to listen to though, try "Red Shoes" by Pendragon.
I am the same. Although admittedly most of my walking and running I had others with me (or dogs). Longest walk I ever did was around 70 miles (for charity) and becuse we did the main part of it overnight the Police asked us to schedule the walk with the police forces whose areas we would go through, and also asked us to have a back up vehicle. In fact he was the in front vehicle as we would send him ahead and then walk to catch him up. It was the coppers who suggested that walkers and/or runners should never wear any form of device which would block ones hearing from normal traffic noise, regardless of the time of day and how quiet the roads/tracks were. Longest run I did was the London Marathon.
I have never taken any other devices with me other than my cameras, usually two, occasionally three, and my Tablet which is just recording my route, also useful for the occasional photograph :) I prefer the beats around me rather than the beat of music. I would miss so much if I wasn't tuned to the noises around me, even the man made ones :)

Roe Deer

Desperately trying to remember where I saw her now, but odds on it was in a coffee shop ... Anyway, a lady sat down nearby and I noticed she had a necklace on, with the characters "262". And me, being me, wondered ... first dismissed thought was that she was involved with the develeopment of the Messerschmidt jet fighter of WW2 vintage (or maybe the flight of them currently built in the US), or more likely it was a date 26rg of February. As she was leaving I politely inquired and it was, in fact, "26.2" as she had run a marathon in her earlier years (she looked younger than me!, which ain't hard! and was given the necklace by another marathon runner.
And @Novica just after I posted my previous comment I realised that you had walked further than a marathon, so as you are ahead of target (you weigh less than I do ... which ain't hard ..! ) could I 'borrow' the excess few miles you did to help me drop some weight?
26.2 miles, and I can assure you the that last .2 of a mile is the worst as you try and get yourslef into the right conformation to look good as the camera snaps you as you go through the finishing line.By correct conformation we were told make sure running with the body straigntend, not stooping, and check that you running number on the front of you running vest/Tshirt/whatever is on correctly and fully visible for the camera. As if you could care less after 26 miles.
And in my case the answer was genuinely 42 the question would have been how old was I when I ran my first (and only) Marathon
I did my first marathon around the age of 12 or 13 I think. Then they changed the name to snickers ...
I'm not a runner, but I walk a lot. My sister ran distance events in high school and one of my nieces is a good ultra runner. She can't jump or sprint, but running distance comes naturally. Her marathon times aren't great - sort of 3:30 - but her quaters got faster in both Boston and NY so they suggested she tried ultras. Her best distance seems to be 100km -- 62 miles or so. She won a couple of women's divisions in "man vs horse" events (beating all of the horses too.. but that's not a surprise as humans are better than most four legged animals for endurance) Her body fat in in the single digits even though she's a mother of two. I can get tiring listening to her describe a race.
ROFL good one Simon.
Nice pic
I don't do the walking all at once, so can't get anywhere near claiming being able to walk a marathon. I do large chunks of it at a time, but I take breaks :)
BTW, I added a Tip to the References on the first page of this thread for DA Big Ocean, there's a good thread in Commons where DA tells you what you need to do/ answer questions. He's very helpful, as always.
But is was all in one day, or so I read it? That counts!!!! For me that'd count if I did it in a month
One of many. Those are the most photographed pair I see on my walk, they always seem to be about when I pass. They tend to move about the area and in the spring they always have one or two young with them.
Mum, Dad and Yearling.
They're fine looking critters
Very nice deer. Unfortunately were I live it's sidealks or the streets so I choose sidewalks and since the vehicles and dogs supply most of the sounds I choose music. I find the music doesn't distract my from my surroundings more than the jogging/walking does which takes most of my attention.
I actually ran my first 5k about a year and a half ago and have since run 2 more. If I'm outside I run with one ear in, so I can hear what's going on around me as well, I have no desire to get run over, have anyone sneak up on me. And when I run at the gym it doesn't matter lol.
@simonjm Yes, all those numbers are for daily totals. :)
Here's a funny page for you folks. My favorite is naming the quadrilaterals.
Hey folks, this is too good a deal not to mention- off topic though. If you go to JC Penny (dot com, and maybe in the store?) they have some of the jeans brands (St Johns Bay, don't know about the others) for buy 1 pair get TWO PAIR FREE. My 44.00 jeans were 14.68 a piece when I bought three!
Edit: Arizona and other brands are doing it too, in addition to 70% off tops.
