My wife and I walk and hike a lot. She plays a lot of pickleball. We just got back from an 11 day trip through Western Canada and hiked six days a total 30 miles and a total elevation gain over 5,000 feet. Not bad for a pair of 72 year old farts. We rarely pass people on the trails these days, but slow and steady wins the (dementia) race.

Great trip and great hiking! Keep it up!

I’m averaging over 3.5 miles every day for about 2 years now. Works for me. The doctor says I don’t look anywhere near my age. Younger than you, but old enough to care about my health. I consider that one of the only benefits for us from the scamdemic.

We did about the same thing in six days at Waterton, Glacier, and Yellowstone last week. 40 miles and 7,000’. Being a flatlander doesn’t help.
