I used to run on a local school track occasionally for timed speed
workouts but they are very boring too. Even worse are all the home
exercise machines.

Best to run outdoors and bike outdoors too. You get fresh air and
sunshine and plenty of mind-stimulus seeing constantly changing views
and people.

I say running along the beach is best.

Yes! Most of my running miles were on the Boardwalk. One mile slow to
the beach, 5-10 miles on the boardwalk then one mile home.

Ask them, theyre here. "You can stop saying that now. Thank you."

A bunch of my co-workers left and went to Peloton. An assistant manager
left, and he started pirating some of the best workers. I wasn't one of them.
About 6 months before he left, he had to give me my review, and I cussed at
him for minutes straight about my wage not being commensurate with my
skills and performance. I said stuff like, "You know this is ****ing bullshit,
and I know you didn't make the ****ing decision, but you get ****ing paid to
listen to this." I didn't suffer any repercussions for mouthing off to an exec,
but I also didn't get any more money.

We got along fine after that, and he quit about 6 months later, and not long
after that I threw another fit about my working conditions. I didn't get any
more money, but I got everything else, exactly the position and exactly the
hours I wanted, and I can leave early any time I want if I'm done with my
tasks. My last performance review was glowing, and I don't even care that
I only got a 2% increase. Shit, I'm only a few years from retirement.

The Peloton guy didn't offer me a job, and I told one of my work buddies to
tell him that if I knew what I know now, maybe I wouldn't have cussed at
him for 10 minutes straight, because I knew it would get a laugh, which it
did, since everyone concerned knew that I'm happy where I'm at, and there
is zero chance that I'd toss the dice with job satisfaction for a few more
dollars an hour. In 4-1/2 years I'll be on Medicare, at which point I will
never again work a single minute on anyone's timeclock.

I worked extra today. My tasks were completed, but there was a call-off
in another department, so I volunteered to pitch in there, without being
asked. Then I came home and made dinner, which was pan seared steak,
mushroom gravy, and chopped, peel on potatoes, boiled, with a little carrot,
slivered with a peeler added near the end, that I whipped with the mixer.

The mushroom gravy was sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter, then put
into a pot with cornstarch slurry, a little beef BtB, white pepper, a tiny bit of
onion powder and some added butter.
