I must be getting old because it took me 100 minutes to walk around seven

No offense, but when I googled your pace, a bunch of "fat women can jog too" websites came up.
I wish I could jog. However, I have a knee injury that prevents me from doing so. I'll also be 65 in less than four months.
Buy a fitbit or track your steps on your phone. My work insurance company reduces my rates if I walk so many steps per year. Great incentive to be active, not that as a Firefighter I need incentive, but it's still a cool perk.
So you can walk 4.25 miles per hour (14 minute miles which adds up to roughly 7 miles in 100 minutes pace) and you can't jog? Most people say between 4 to 5 mph is a light jog. Something isn't adding up here.
We had a simple pedometer type device 2 years ago. They'd deposit money into your HSA or FSA based on your activity level. Riding a snowmobile from bar to bar while wearing it got a co-worker 19K steps one day. At that point it was on. Wrap it in a sock and throw it in the dryer on the fluff setting for an hour = 8K steps.
lol so true!!! One of the firefighters put it on his dog for a day and got 12K steps. There's definitely some interesting ways to cheat the system there.
In 1979, I ran a 5k race in under 20 minutes. If I kept up that pace, I would have run seven miles in about 40 minutes. Surely, I could walk seven miles in 100 minutes. I can play 18 holes by myself in about 140 minutes.
I haven't needed to see a 'Nutt post for 2 years to know things aren't adding up!
18 holes in straight lines from tee to green is 7,000 yards, give or take. That's a little less than 4 miles. How bad do you spray it to get 7 miles in during a round?
Forget about how badly he shot; be impressed that he finished a round in an hour and a half.
