according to my height and weight and BMI profile since the age of 22yo or so, I should be a football running back. instead I am an endurance athlete. am I doomed to failure? oh wait...I'm not failing.
Yeah, but how short are your arms?

oh no you don't, I will not be arm-shamed !! my arms do the best they can and deserve to be fully recognized for the effort they commit and propulsion they provide.

Sound like a good reason to run. Now if it was BAC, I would say stay in the recliner and watch sports. Live Pro Pickleball on today on the Pickleball Channel. Nothing like Pickleball and a Margie on the rocks. https://www.youtube.com/live/MU4kcewBE8Y?feature=share

Decided to go straight up!

Agree with you—this is such a great time to check in on fitness and maybe even hop on the scales if you're feeling up to it. Skiing can push you to your limits, especially if you've been hitting the slopes in the Rockies. It’s easy to forget how much energy you’re burning out there, so staying on top of your health makes sense. Ski sales are everywhere right now! If you're thinking of grabbing some new gear, knowing where you’re at physically could help you pick the right skis. Weight can play a role in how skis perform, so matching them to your current level is smart.If you’re looking for tips or gear advice, check out www.deuschem.com.

I have not been skiing as much as I want, but I am doing better with weight and health. I guess I am still overweight at 26.4 BMI.

"What’s BMI ?"
Body Mass Index. A reference the medical establishment uses to give a rating to your weight relative to your height. There are of course variables not taken into account this way, but it'ssomething they use. Simple to figure yours if you look it up.
