    I did the same - but 30 mins. I do like the funny ski videos and the healthy recipes that I find, and I have started clicking "not interested" on many of the political posts and blocking much of that. I want to return to when Insta was lighthearted and funny. I have also stopped buying anything...

    Tariffs...what to make of them.

    OK - so if the winner of the NYC marathon "presents" me her medal, does that mean I won the NYC marathon? Sweeeeet

    Agreed! And @Norm what was the name of the street our AirBnB was on? Drainage Ditch Ave? Sewerline Street? Something like that.

    Ahem... Great news on the physical! Preventative care is so worth it. And so is ice-cream.

    What worked for you in 2025?

    He can be a bit preachy, but my takeaway was that there are things in our control that actually move the needle in terms of healthy aging and avoiding the 4 Horsemen of Death - cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, cancer and dementia. We need to MOVE - exercise, mobility, strength has had...

    What worked for you in 2025?

    What worked for me as a peri-menopausal woman - after listening to Outlive by Peter Atilla I focused on the following (mostly in the second half of the year): 7-8 hours of quality sleep, moving my body in some way every day, lifting heavier weights, and trying to meet my daily protein goals.

    ^^ is it supposed to? 👀 Order of operations - deeply embedded into CrossFit is the fact that you do strength work first, then cardio.

    How the hell are we supposed to retire?

    It only is that because in the US system every single middleman's hand that touches it from manufacturer to patient marks it up so they can take a cut. The national distributor, the local distributor, the PBM, the corporate pharmacy, the local pharmacy, the insurance company, the hospital, the...

    25-26 Ski and Snowboard Thread

    I highly recommend Ischgl/Samnaun (in Austria/Switzerland) as a ski destination. It's part of Ikon, not overrun at all, huge terrain with Zermatt vibes but much less expensive. A bit of a trek to get to, but we had a really great week there.

    OMG when I saw the photo I was like if I didn't actually KNOW Norm and fam I would think he was a super short person. Meanwhile, 12 hours on a plane and my lower back shits the bed to the point that I cannot stand up straight yet. Getting old(er) is stupid. And I have spent most of my second day...

    I want to do that with you guys. Also for hiking, I am planning out a hut-to-hut thing in the Whites that includes summiting Mount Washington, and maybe an adventure with my sister to Norway. Biking - want to see beautiful places and not be left behind the bike, so I will keep up with CrossFit...

    Coffee

    I have had a DeLonghi espresso maker for decades, but I just purchased a Chemex filter system and a new Opus conical burr grinder and have been really enjoying the more nuanced flavors and the less acidic brew!
