LOL. No. I'm sure this was super high tech when the house was built in 1990. Aat least DH and I know what it is and it actually still works.

Our previous house had a cut out in the living room wall for a 1990s TV. So it was small but deep, lol

 

I like watching those too

 

Not sure why but it makes my skin crawl to listen to the chit chat / small talk that goes on in the podcasts that I've tried to listen. Like listening to radio morning shows or talk shows (GMA, Ellen, etc). Just BLAH BLAH BLAH. I've tried a few podcasts with topics in running, personal finance, true crime, how things work, etc

 

I think maybe audio books could be fine. Otherwise, I would rather read about it than listen to someone tell me about it. Probably the same reason that I dis-enable all the stupid videos when reading the news online.

I hate podcasts with chit/chat / small talk. Or talk shows. I don't listen to any of that.  Podcasts about "topics"? no.

I ran 10 with 5 at LT.

I remember seeing people hiking with a boombox in the early 90's. One group carried one backpacking on the AT. They didn't get very far.

I completed my 5 mile trackjog.

Hey Baboon, I think you made Sports Illustrated! Well, sort of. Aren't you running by in the bckground of the video?

Yep, I am in the at video at the 4-6 second mark shuffling by in the background (blue calf sleeves).  I made all the national news!!    If any news outlets wanted to interview anyone who crossed the finish line standing up but still ran pretty awful, I'd have made myself available.

Or if NYCM wanted to give some sympathy slots to people who missed their qualifying time but actually finished on their feet.

Last Sunday my friend brought his new Garmin VIRB video cam (360 degrees). You don't need to aim at what you want to film. You just hold it and afterwards you decide to make a 360 film (haven't seen that yet) or the person making the video chooses what goes on the film.

 

So this is to show you what the cam can do, and also, Baboon, to show you that you're not the only one who runs with a shuffle.

 

First part of the video is at around 3:05 marathon pace, and when I pass the camera to my RP I accelerate to about 2:55-2:50 MP. Just to give an idea of form vs pace. It's mostly me starting at around 2:35 in the video. We're running in the Montreal Botanical Garden, open to walkers, runners, and people doing photography in the winter.

The quick foot turnover is a dead giveaway that you guys are bookin' (old school slang for running fast), not to mention how quickly things are moving past you. The difference obviously is the pace you two are running comes with ease so less effort than it would for someone who is running the same pace at their 5k effort.

Nice video. You look perfectly normal. The technology we have these days is amazeballs.

 No prob! This board can move pretty fast. That’s so awesome your new one can do this!

Music on the wrist is the new color TV, then new microwave, the new digital watch, the new cable TV, the new cordless phone; all of which I was around for and marveled at.

The technology is nothing short of stupefying. The music is so clear and works so well, it's mind boggling that they can do that!

The video is remarkably smooth. Usually when I watch that kind of video, I end up nauseous, feeling a form of motion sickness. This felt fast, but not jumpy. Nice. I'm surprised you were running that fast with snow underfoot.
