552.2 miles on 10/13/23 to mark my 9th year with #stageivpca when the PSA was 552.2 on 10/13/14

Old data said only 28% chance of 5 years

MouseAddams profile image
MouseAddams in reply todockam

No I missed that. The main reason we were in Hawaii was to have a ceremony for his brother who had passed away from ALS and the scattered his ashes on the green side of the Maui volcano. Originally his brother and wife were in Hawaii for their honeymoon. His brother’s last wish was as many family members if possible attended and finish doing the same trip they had done. As I had mentioned before we were in the process of moving after getting medical retirement for hubby. So we had no $ for the trip. Then his mom died and we inherited enough to take the trip to support the Sister in-law. Did get to see LAHAINA and the Banyan tree and take a submarine dive on Maui. We the went to the volcano on the big island. Also went on a tour to see a coffee plantation and we off to see something else but there was an accident blocking traffic so the bus driver took us to an orchid farm instead. All in all my hubby loved it so much he and I have set up with the VA to have his (hubby) ashes put in a military cemetery anywhere in Hawaii. So a return trip is planned one way or another 🌟

dockam profile image
dockam in reply toMouseAddams

Oh dear :-(, my condolences about the Brother and Yea about medical retirement. When I was home in Dec, I went to the Big Island for the very 1st time, also went to Volcano National Park and hiked down to the crater floor - looked like a black moonscape.

So glad that you experienced Lahaina cuz who knows what is gonna go up in it's place :-( . Last I read is that there are sprouts on the Banyan - Life finds a way

My Dad and G'pa are both in Punchbowl National Memorial of the Pacific, I always stop by to pay respects when I'm home.

Well, you ain't gonna need to spread his ashes any time soon!!!

FYI: I posted daily albums from the Hawaii trip and this is the Volcano one

Ohhhh, sounds great, but has a cutoff time of 6 hrs and I wouldn't make it :-(

Time Limit (Cut-off)

Participants in the Marathon must reach the 26.5Km (Fleet St.) water station by 11:15 AM, or face removal from the course. The course will close at 6 hours (1:30 PM).

The 1/2 I could maybe complete

Participants in the Half Marathon will have 3.5 hrs to complete (12:00 noon)

Btw, I may be doing the Camino Frances in Sept 2024 for my 10 year Cancerversary. I really dug it in 2019 when I did 5 days with son, his wife for 65.69 miles

dockam in reply tohopeful1956

Mahalo, what an awesome time we had over just 5 days. In order to be certified as a Pilgrim, we had to get our Passports stamped twice per day wherever you found one: Bars, restaurants, Church, tables with fruit/snacks/trinkets. And we had to do at least 100km 62 miles. The pix are Memory Boxes that I put together, they're hanging in my dental office. The scallop shell is the symbol and that's a St James Cross painted on it

Tradition is to bring stones that represent burdens, and you're supposed to leave them on the Carving above, before you enter the town. A lovely friend/patient painted them with Blue Ribbons, but I changed my mind and brought them back home

Resistance training is like using muscles against a weight or force eg gravity or even those stretchy bands. I do climber, ellipitical, squats, mountain climbers, ketel bell, downward dog, Russian twists with a medicine ball, ab roller, jumping jacks, pushups, crunches - all done either in am or pm workouts

Thanks Randy...some i recognize, others not. Bought a 25 lb hand weight today...yikes felt heavy !! How about "isometric' exercises...pulling or pushing on immovable object? That would seem to be good for avoiding additional old age joint damage !!

dockam profile image
dockam in reply tomaley2711

A 25 lb dumbell? or Ketel bell? You probs should do it with two hands to not stress out ligaments, muscles, bones. Low and slow til you're more used to the weight. Forgot to say planks in the list above

maley2711 profile image
maley2711 in reply todockam

well, label says hand weight....2 weights with a 5" handle between them.....lower weight sold out, and 30lb TOOO much. Yes, a lot easier with both arms...for something much easier, could always fill a gallon milk containter.....or add varying amount s of water to a water bucket ! 8 lb/gal ....I have an umbilical hernia, so really want to avoid stomach muscle stress!!! Otherwise, surgery...ugh?

What do you think about isometric exercises......little joint stress?

dockam profile image
dockam in reply tomaley2711

Hey, planks are isometric as there is no movement as in isotonic exercise which involves moving against gravity or with weights, exercise bands. Less risk of injury with isometric, but using doing isotonic will build strength, improve mobility, and increase repetitions. Start with isometric exercises and slowly incorporate resistance ones.

Plank......a word I've heard , but..... need to Google!!! Thanks Randy !

I read that 15 minute mile is considered top shape.....probably did that 20 years ago!!! when people take note of Biden's stiff walk, I can relate to his walk...not yet stumbling, but he is older!!! Most 80 yr old men would be lucky to be in Joe's shape, IMHO.

Mahalo nui loa Bruddah, hittin the pavement is my solo QoL time.

No cares, just keep going and soak up the sun, sing random songs to myself, and enjoy nature. Did 12 miles today as I'm heading home to Honolulu and gonna do the marathon there😘

Okay Doc et. el.

Enough is Enough…… Remember those words when you were making love to your wife. It was “Enough Harry, Enough….the kids will be home from school soon and I have to prepare dinner”… You actually were grateful for those words cause you could finally catch your breath but then you realized she called you Harry and your name is Bob…. Anyway that’s a story for another day, however enough is enough as reported to me by my staff of writers and hanger-on-ers. They informed me that you’re starting to approach me on the popularity poll (with your food, your posts and your music). Therefore, we tried to come up with a plan to really surpass your popularity and get the most favorable responses ever. The plan was, for me to commit suicide here on H.U. However, speaking to my neighborhood Priest, Rabbi, and Iman they though I would get better play if I killed you instead. So I will be following you all over California for the opportunity to laugh you to death…..Beware....

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

You see, when you take a sample of a population, it's a representation of the population. It isn't the actual population. There are errors involved. You're going to get outliers, both good and bad. You've just got to try your best with the information you've got to maximise your chances of being that good outlier.

Just because someone gives you a statistic, doesn't mean its your fate.

Congratulations! It looks like you've done just that.

Mahalo nui loa my Brother, and what you wrote is so very dead on, one has to maximize longevity by being driven, disciplined, proactive, and in my case a lil bit crazy/upbeat/silly with a dash of joie de vivre/elan 😁

I say to my dental patients that you can't control your genetics, like when they say they inherited weak teeth, but you can offset it by being well researched and motivated
