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? Ive got 5 miles in today.

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

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

(19,312 posts)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.

(33,957 posts)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.

(21,320 posts)you DO have a pacemaker, even if its just a 100% natural organic god-given one, rather than a plainly superior implanted electronic gizmo.
Just sayin.
