Prepare your anus. Putin may just launch to scorch the earth.

That's what twisty straws were invented for.

I run over 100 miles and cycle more than 250 miles a month. I am 36 and terrified of 40.

Don't worry bro. I'm 40 and it's freaking awesome mate!

Aww, I see someone's enjoying a few pints of Guinness Stout.

Getting old sucks.

I do my long runs late at night usually after 8pm.

That's a declaration of war. Putin may just glass DC, Berlin, Paris and London by the end of the week.

I've never tried the last night workouts. I always did my long runs at 5:30 am. Guess I still could and be back before anyone is awake. Just making excuses I guess. Maybe if I had a running partner to motivate me. It is the only sport to make my nipples bleed.

I had a goal to qualify for Boston but I could never run faster than an 8 minute pace. Looks like 7:25 is pace to qualify for my age group. Still don't think I could get there.

I think it's more likely this is a challenge (bluff or otherwise) that gives the world an excuse to put him in his place if he escalates because of it. It's interesting because i listened to a talk by Condoleezza Rice on Thursday where she said there's nobody in Putin's inner circle who would be willing to go down with his ship, if he gave the command to drop a nuke it would be the last thing he did.

Just like Hitler destroyed Germany's infrastructure at the end of the war, Putin will probably go out with a bang so to speak.

This would be bad for us.

Speaking of Guinness Stout Prog, I've got a Dublin trip planned in early May and will be touring the brewery. Will post a pic or two.

Market related cause SPX price target is 5000 by then.

---

That's awesome! That's a cool tour and drinking Guinness at their elevated bar kicks ass, please post pics.

ETA: Take the Jameson distillery tour too, it's also great.

The Irish are so f'ing nice too. There's a pub on every corner and they treat you like family when you walk in.

Unless you're English!

I'm 66 and that's evidently too damn old to run a 2 hour half (because I didn't)

They love Texans though so you're good.

ETA: Just don't **** up our rep and use 'whilst' with a Texas draw.

This thing is going to get much worse before it gets better.

Yea similar to Scotland, travel there a lot and have coworkers from both. They are all usually super nice. Funny to listen to their sh*t talk about the English.

Honestly, most Europeans are pretty cool. Only odd experiences I've had have been with the French and Belgians.

Always had great experiences with Irish, Brits, Italians, Spanish, Croats, Polish, Swiss, Dutch, heck even Norwegians….

Scotland was amazing when I visited there

Yeah,40 isn't scary I'm probably in the best shape of my life but I just can't find the time to go for 2 hour jogs anymore with all these damn kids.

Here here. I'm 43, probably also in the best shape of my life. I don't run, but FTP on the bike is at or near all time highs and my resting HR is around 50. I could ride more and do some endurance rides, but I don't - I have a time crunched routine that works well, basically 2 high intensity workouts (races) per week and the rest I train based on how I feel (mix of recovery rides and a tempo ride or 2).

you should look forward to your 40's and then 50's -- it just means more time on the bike, run, etc. My little man starts pre-school this fall, I think my free time will roughly double. Some of the fastest guys I know in Zwift are well into their 60's, just huge aerobic motors.

also, probably late notice, but I'm doing Gran Fondo Texas in Montgomery, April 10th. The plan is to ride the 67 miler, but will see how the weather is. If the forecast is hot, I'll probably chicken out, do the 31 and then go drink beer
