I celebrate the entire pizza catalog

Same. I love how the argument against Chicago style pizza is "It's not pizza!!!!" My response is I don't give a rat's *** what it is. It's delicious. As long as it doesn't come from a gas station or convenience store.

Why do you hate pizza

I have the fastest natural walking pace of anyone I have ever met.

In my 20's I hiked 5-10 miles more than 250 days a year, and the goal was to cover ground as quickly as possible.

If I am by myself a 1 mile walk is no time at all.

How fast we talking here? I'm a pretty fast walker myself. Like, I am by far the fastest walker out of anyone I've ever walked with. By a lot.

I have met a few others like me, sound like you would make a good fishing/hunting buddy.

I am still at only about 75% recovery and i constantly have to wait for people. I have learned not to walk slower though. Because they will just walk even slower!

Walking is just a means to end for me. Lets get it over with ffs.

I'm sure this was already mentioned, but the winner goes to those who pull up at the Costco gas station pump, proceed to take 1/2 hour to exit vehicle for who knows what reason, proceeds to then fumble through wallet / purse for membership card......then when finished, takes an additional 1/2 hour to get in car, put receipt away, adjust mirror, check texts, change radio station, put on seatbelt................absolutely maddening. Not a care in the world.

This is why I just park a mile away and walk to the gas station.

I am utterly committed to getting in and out of the Costco gas station faster than a formula one pit crew

 

[DA RAIDERS]

Yep. Knowing there’s a busy lot at my destination, I’ll park blocks away, if necessary. Also hate paying for parking.

All the free parking near my climbing gym is usually taken, too. There’s a close pay lot that has spaces, but I usually park at the hospital, where I have dedicated parking. It’s a 15 minute walk, about a mile away.

Walk 1 mile or wait 20 minutes on a parking spot is an easy decision.

I also park far away for events down here, way past where anyone else parks and then we walk.

Getting to walk to your car and get in and go verse sitting in a 1 hour parking lock gridlock makes that walk worth it.

I love a good walk. You are missing the 20 minutes on the other end of the equation though.

Olympic race walkers clip miles at 6 minutes, 30 seconds. What are you guys realistically doing on these fast paced walks of yours? 10 minute miles? 8?

i just know that I'm always waiting and/or slowing down for everyone except for one of my friends. He’s one of the 3 guys that I go to raider games with. One time the wife of guy #3 came to a game. She expressed annoyance and concern to her husband that she really didn’t want to have to try and keep up with us. Husband told us that we did indeed have a freaking problem and that while he was used to it, we would have to slow down for his wife.

 

[belljr]

Yeah I'm also a pretty fast walker also, always have been wife yells at me all the time

I've been walking outside and almost a jog but also monitoring my HR and staying low and hitting 15minutes


A brisk 4mph walk is right at that pace. So I say to walk at 5 mph is about 12 and that I think is about the best one can do walking

Make sure you keep it up, because whatever fitness benefits you derive can wane quickly. Anything faster than a 15 minute mile is great, representing the amount of exertion a 50-year-old must be able to attain for a 50% reduction in all-cause mortality (versus unfit peers).

I vaguely remember you mentioning tired legs when we skied, asking what I did to build endurance. The answer at the time was a bunch of fast hiking. I’m nowhere near that shape now, but I still try to push myself to exhaustion almost every ski day. The rest of my regular group either starts later, taps out early, and/or takes a day or two off.

All that pesky relaxation is adding up. The older we get, actual skiing is becoming a less and less prominent part of our annual ski trip. I don’t expect that trajectory to reverse, but firmly believe “use it, or lose it” extends to everything we do, and ultimately quality of life, as we age.

I just avoid the circus. Doesn’t seem worth the time and frustration.

Six is ridiculous, not even sure how that is possible. My fastest pace is in the low 13s, including some hills.

Right, that's the Olympic athletes speed walking and that gait is really goofy looking, so there's very little chance any of us in here are putting our coolness factors at risk to look like Aunt Ethel speed walking at the mall.

Train to office is 1.4 miles. I try to clock that in 20 minutes or less, which is tough with a bunch of busy intersections to navigate through. But I push myself to get a brisk pace. As others have said, that's hard to turn off, so when I'm walking with my family, I have to slow it down. If I'm with my twin boys, they'll usually break into a jog to keep up, which is good. "Go means GO faster".

Dad and I walked at a normal pace. Mom would go faster and faster until we yelled at her to slow down. We didn't want to dawdle, but we weren't catching a train, either.

Unnecessarily loud people. Especially at work. This IT guy that sits behind me, probably 5-6 feet away from the back of my head, is SO EFFING LOUD when he's on video calls. He uses over-ear dual headphones so I don't think he realizes how loud he is. It's unbearable and impossible to have a call myself when he's on one. I'm too passive-aggressive to say anything to him and don't want to report him to his/my boss because it'd be obvious who complained. I just have to bear it on the days I'm actually in the office. Sucks.

OMG this.

I literally get anxiety when it's my "turn" at the pump... making sure I'm prepared ahead of time to pop the gas tank lid, jump out, scan the QR, dispense fuel, hang up, close up, jump back in car and drive away as quickly as humanly possible so as not to inconvenience the next guy. Pretty sure I'm the only one.

And I've mentioned it here countless times before... it's all about self awareness and being kind/polite to others.

I’ve seen that slow oblivious person get the back pump and the over anxious person thread the needle down the middle and try to pull into the open front pump only to side swipe the slow guy.
Watched it happen on two different visits.

Seems like a good time to comment that all Costco members should be required to possess the Costco credit card. I pull out this credit card and hold it near the reader and I'm ready to pump in seconds. It changed my life.

Pretty sure I'm the only one.

And I've mentioned it here countless times before... it's all about self awareness and being kind/polite to others.

I’ve seen that slow oblivious person get the back pump and the over anxious person thread the needle down the middle and try to pull into the open front pump only to side swipe the slow guy.
Watched it happen on two different visits.

Seems like a good time to comment that all Costco members should be required to possess the Costco credit card. I pull out this credit card and hold it near the reader and I'm ready to pump in seconds. It changed my life.

Sam's says hold my beer. I scan the QR code on the pump and I'm done.

Oregon says hold MY beer. We dont even have to get out of the car if we dont want to.

(Yes, I know this recently changed a bit but there are still tons of full service only stations.)

But then you'd have to live in Oregon

Says a guy who voluntarily lives in the Murder Mitten.....

Wouldn't have it any other way GB...

I know many who feel that way but having been to 48 states and living in 5 of them, I couldn't do Michigan. It's cold Texas.

Yeah, no.

I doubt their BBQ is anything like as good.

And I bet they put beans in their chili.

 

[BeTheMatch]

Yeah I'm also a pretty fast walker also, always have been wife yells at me all the time

I've been walking outside and almost a jog but also monitoring my HR and staying low and hitting 15minutes


A brisk 4mph walk is right at that pace. So I say to walk at 5 mph is about 12 and that I think is about the best one can do walking

I'm an outta shape POS and I leave almost everyone in the dust. I don't know what people are doing. Move it!

I'm sure this was already mentioned, but the winner goes to those who pull up at the Costco gas station pump, proceed to take 1/2 hour to exit vehicle for who knows what reason, proceeds to then fumble through wallet / purse for membership card......then when finished, takes an additional 1/2 hour to get in car, put receipt away, adjust mirror, check texts, change radio station, put on seatbelt................absolutely maddening. Not a care in the world.

Michigan's best BBQ would be closed down inside a year in Texas. Kid Rock is considered a BBQ master in Michigan.

I just started Ozark this week, with the price of brisket you could clean a lot of money in a bbq joint.

We have decent BBQ, but admittedly not as good as Texas. Yep, beans in Chili… fine by me.

I’ll put up our pizza, coney dogs, pasties, fudge and apple cider (to name but a few) against Texas any day.

With a ton of Michigan family, as a Texan, this may be one of the most offensive things I think I've ever seen posted here.

Let's end this charade about coney dogs now.


They are White Castle hot dogs with sea ration toppings at best. Forget the fact that a single hot dog will take more seconds off your life than a cigarette, this is what the flat, Cold Texas wants you to remember them by. A crappy hot dog, on refined white bread buns with toppings that came from a jailhouse floor.

You're proud of this? And fudge? The average human can eat 1/2 a teaspoon of fudge before giving up and begging for insulin. Texas isn't boasting about apple cider or pasties or hot dogs or fudge because they don't have to. They have real food there.

Take the "L" and quit. Michigan has nothing the rest of the country wants. Nothing the rest of the country tries to copy. It's flat, cold and full of 90 minute commutes.

Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, hundreds of inland lakes, the UP… arguably one of the most beautiful places in the US. Not to mention fantastic golf courses and ski resorts. Teams from all of the big 4 sports, half a dozen quality NCAA teams. And, contrary to your opinion, a lot of awesome food and the arts.

I think you need to spend the whole summer with your in-laws

I'm with Kee. I lived in CA for 5 years and barely want to visit, much less live there again. Look forward to summer holidays in the UP every year. Golf, lake culture, cabins - fantastic.

Been to Lake Huron 4 times. It's great, but it's a 3.5 hour drive from Lake Orion to Tawess or whatever.

Nothing is 90 minutes away except more urban sprawl. And the bugs....my god the bugs you have there in the summer! Gross.

Lake Michigan from Detroit is not close either. I played Arcadia Bluffs. 4 hour drive. Nothing around it except a town called Manistee. Neat.

You going go drive 4 hours to Lake Huron or Michigan any other time but the summer? No? Why not? Oh yeah, you live on the Planet Hoth. I can drive 90 minutes to the Pacific 12 months out of the year.

Ski resorts? Your tallest mountain is less than 2 thousand feet above sea level! I can stand on a beer can in Saginaw and see Muskegon! Get outta here with this. Oregon is a year long training home to Olympic skiers.

Oregon football >>> Michigan football. Just ask Loyd Carr.

Our food >>>>>> your food.

Dungeness crab and marionberries or hot dogs and boiled cabbage?
