I'm in my 80s and had a few falls. It happens. But I'd dare say even without the aid of the walker I could beat out most of the MAGA half my age in these parts for the first 200 yards. After that, all bets are off.

I'm not much for fat shaming but the truth is obesity and lack of physical activity really is a big problem in this country. This thing with ICE recruitment is just another reality check for all of us.

Zero per cent chance you can walk 1.5 miles in 6 minutes. That's maintaining a 4 minute-per-mile pace for 50% longer. Celerity Tuesday #2
