    Footsteps

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by matwoolf, Aug 8, 2019.

    My colleague says that 'everybody knows about this for ten years at least.'

    But my opinion remains probably on my day I am the winner, a champion in the walking stakes..

    This Tuesday walking 19,818 steps.

    I have the calves of a most beautiful woman.

    My top half is less visually stimulating, and probably I will work on that half of the body, building during wintertime, or give up on the 'sagging micro-nipples,' [Quote:wife]

    'Top half never matters so much in striped pyjamas,' I say to her, heh, heh.

    July 23rd I took 24,535 footsteps

    Today was 409 toward the lavatory on a 'writing day'/day off.

    ...

    Who can challenge?

    ...

    Please don't be offensive in my thread. I want my thread to last as a loving legacy. Thank you.

    Military really gave a beating to me on my legs, but I would like to build them back up again. I think I may take you up on the challenge, although it will be a mix of biking and walking.

    Tendon and cartilage damage means I wont be running anytime soon, or ever again maybe, but I still want to at least have them in working order. I miss running marathons.

    So anyways, let me buy one of those electronic workout bikes, cant handle a real one right now in my state, and I'll download a step tracking app and I'll get back to you on the challenge.

    And good job. Keep moving.

    You can't fool me, Ron Jeremy. :p

    OT: Walking is great. Keep at it, Matwoolf!

    Not me.

    This month average until now is 14 132. And I suppose it will drop. Top day was 19 657.

    July average 11 096.

    June average 12 503.

    May average 11 171...

    Excellent.

    Please remember that whilst your efforts appear quite excellent on-screen, how I, top viking, remain top viking in combat, or in dancing [solo @ class A].

    I can offer you Northumberland only in trade, hostages dependent upon sea state, et cetera..

    Hey on second read I want to wish you the best. I know I play silly ass but I want you to enjoy a good level of mobility and feel healthy. What happens when you walk a dog, walk a beach, can you do that at the moment? My thoughts are with you.

    I don't want to propagate any nonsense...just when an old fool 'discovers' his walking app is a funny/stupid 'era'...for a year or two.

    I have just been for a walk - it was about 4.5km (I didn't count the number of steps but I would guess about 5000?) but they were Yorkshire kilometres which are much more uppy and downy than other kilometres so much better exercise and my calves have been reserved by the Louvre to go alongside a display of works by Rodin when I have finished with them.

    Obviously I would not accept non-technology, non-app, supported submissions until you find the right button upon your telephone, grand pa.

    Oh don't worry about me, it's just impact I can't take. Im too stubborn to let myself wither away. Let me build back up on a bike real quick here and I'll give your walking numbers a run for their money in no time!

    My average is 17k steps a day. Saturdays are usually around 25k, record is 32k... hit that one on a 15hr double.

    My dancing is a bit like dead cow doing some ballet. Horror genre + nothing moves but maggots.

    If there is a good sauna we can talk.

    Probably faulty and a Hauwei with little steps, I think, I'll check, also possible 'indoor steps disqual [II],' again I'll check. Possible Hall of Fame, Honourary. Also considered the rather bumptious over-claim with no resting phase baseline [disqual] . PANEL to establish veracity.

    Yeah, it totally overestimates. Earned a few thousand one day playing guitar while sitting down and tapping my foot. Still, I move a lot! Damn near frenetic at times!

    No, no, no, no, no....

    You must disqualify me!

    Rumours tell that I might have used illegal substances like ch3ch2oh or godknowswhat in that one long night between 1987-1994. You can use that to hush me away from podium.

    My memory is a bit vague about that night so I can't tell is it true or not.

    You can't put me in the podium. Please, matwoolf, please...!

    You are ruining my well earned name as the Rancid King of Coach Potatoes!

    Crystal meth can and has been legitimately prescribed for weight loss.
