Being "healthy" is not enough. I have had a couple friends about my age, both serious runners who took care of them selves. One simply keeled over from a heart attack. The other developed some sort a arythmeia that required surgery and while there an aortic aneurysm blew. Another guy, active swimmer and hiker and in really good shape found one of his coronary arteries badly backed and needed a stent. Worked well. All three would have passed for "healthy" and taking care of themselves and the ticker still went wonky.

Cardiomegaly or Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Dollars to doughnuts that they developed Cardiomegaly specifically because they were serious runners. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is usually genetic, but if you have the gene for it and are a serious runner, your odds substantially increase. There is such a thing as "over running" and some of the least physically sound people are runners. Sure, they can run for a long distance and are perceived as "fit", but that often comes with a long term price to your heart, hips, knees, ankles and feet.

Good to hear Rich's "Fiscal" (physical) health is up to par.

You can control what food you eat, how much exercise you get, but you can't control hereditary.

...or when a Kenworth crosses the center line.

lotta luck involved for sure, I have always lived so that I can be ready for anything I may encounter in a physical way, I don't want to be the best at anything just better than average at everything. That being the case my body naturally stays in the same state so that I am ready because my mind keeps it there, everything else falls into place naturally because I have trained myself.

Take a statin if you have bad genes.

Or die.

Those are pretty much the choices.

Sure, kook.

lol

Some people think the stuff I say is worth hearing.. I spent 9 hours with a film crew yesterday and they got 5 hours of footage, they came to my house from another near by state. The film will not be out until nest summer.

In a couple weeks I a major cable TV network is going to meet me at at Elk camp to interview me for content.

So some people wanna hear what I got to say.

Honey Boo-Boo was on TV, too.

lol

LOL. Yeah Rich...sure.

Like I said above, glad to hear your "Fiscal" health is doing just fine, because....uh.....

Sketti and butter

Comedy Central...? Crank Yankers....? Jerky Boys...?

Hint: wear the rainbow suspenders, red rubber nose, floppy shoes, and......you'll kill it.

This is also the country where a fender bender on the other side of the freeway can cause a 19 mile back up on this side...Americans LOVE staring at fuckin wrecks.

Donald Trump had a 'reality" television show, also. Viewing standards are so low these days!

Just one quick thing to add.
People buy nice exercise equipment then get old, fat, lazy etc and don’t use it.
There is a ton of it you can pick up off of Offer Up or Nextdoor for cheap or free.
I got a pretty nice threadmill for free.
It sucks compared to walking outside, but when the weather is [Bleeeeep!] it works well. Throwing some good tunes on makes the 45 minute to and hour walk on the thing go by pretty quickly.

Yoga is suppose to do wonders. I always wished I could get myself to learn it and do it from home. Ellipticals are nice to for cardio that's low impact on your joints.

there is all kinds of free stuff out there, the local second hand building supply donation place has like 10 bowflex machines.

Yeah - like all the property you've stolen over the years?
