I propose this as a fun idea:

The first to walk 500 miles this year wins. Wins what? Well, the most important thing ever: the jealousy of your peers here!

Rules:
1) Have a pacemaker
2) I dunno…what does anyone else think?

Just throwing this out there. Anyone else? I’ve got 5 miles in today.

1. I haven't got a pacemaker, but great idea and best of luck.

3. I dunno.

I think you'll have trouble finding contestants limiting it to people with pacemakers.

I'm not sure there are many active DUers with pacemakers installed.

4. I think you are just trying...

to make it harder for me to win.

Seriously though, there might be more here than we think.

10. Could be.

I have no knowledge of how many DUers are outfitted with pacemakers. There could be enough to count on one hand, or there could be hundreds. Myself, I am pacemaker-less.

5. I'm in.

Got mine one year ago. Had jogged 3 miles a few days before I got it and ran 3 miles a few days after I got it. Doc says keep doing it.
I run about 10 miles a week. I'm actually going about that now, just haven't kept track. Plus I'm 72. Bionic Seniors on the run.

8. A pacemaker or a pedometer? I don't have a pacemaker. ❤

9. Well, I guess technically...

you DO have a pacemaker, even if it’s just a 100% natural organic “god-given” one, rather than a plainly superior implanted electronic gizmo.

Just sayin’.
