That’s perfect - now have to find my flannel and put on some Nirvana….

While I put on my hip-hugger bell bottoms, floral polyester shirt, and platform shoes and listen to Led Zeppelin and the Stones!

Makes me want to find my old Members Only jacket and parachute pants.

Hey now. I'm a "geriatric millennial" whose upbringing resembled more of that of a Gen X'er than a millennial. I know what a rotary phone is, and I can even work an 8-track player!

I prefer the term "elder millennial" because it makes us sound cool, instead of old and decrepit

@Herding_Cats, these are what @Disney at Heart is referring to as "rotary phones". We couldn't even use them outside the house!

NOTHING was more satisfying than slamming one of those down to hang up!

I don't think "elder" sounds as cool as you think it does...

QOTD: What is one thing that you could either stop doing or start doing that would have a huge positive impact for your health/running goals?

ATTQOTD: I think if I could cut out soft drinks I have daily, sometimes two a day, I could potentially see some good benefits from that. Also, if they would stop putting skittles in the vending machine at work that would be great! Im a sucker for skittles!! Not a big chip guy, but the darn skittles call my name lol. Or maybe its beer... But thats not a daily thing, more like a Saturday post run deal... occasionally 1-2 on a Friday. Beer is probably worse, but those IPA's are so tasty!!

Has anyone been following the World Marathon Challenge? The woman who’s come in first the last few races is an ultra runner from Spain and has been finishing in the 3:10-3:20 range. Insane.

No, but I just looked this up and it's wild.
Do you have a preferred way of following? I just found their results page.

I’m mostly following them on instagram! The official account posts updates. There’s also a guy doing it on a sponsorship, Wyatt Moss, posting videos but on a delay.
