It is about 7:30 in the morning here on November 19, 2024. It's 51 degrees, really lovely. A clear day, you can see the sun over there in case you want to get blinded. And we're on the Greenfield trail at Mt. Magazine, which is very wet. I'm starting my second full day here. They wouldn't let me check in the first night until 4 pm. And by that time, the place was covered in fog. You could not see very much in front of you. It was kind of like the last time I was here.

There is a windstorm outside. I wasn't planning to go out today because rain was forecast. It rained last night. It was raining when I came in, and it rained a lot harder during the night. And this windstorm developed. It's very windy out there. I've got some video I'll show you of some trees and how they move in the wind. It's actually a lot worse than what it looks like. The wind was literally howling all night long. I got up this morning, and it was still going strong.

The world is fascinated with long life. Perhaps because we wonder what we would do, individually, if we had an abundance of time, the world's most valuable resource. It's fun to think about it. And so the world is fascinated by Jeanne Calment, the human with the longest documented lifespan, 122 years, 164 days. In Episode 170 I gave an overview of her life and some details about her healthy and unhealthy habits in a 30-minute show. Now I will provide a broader review of her life with more detail.

Jeanne Calment, if you don't already know, is the person who lived the longest according to documented evidence. She lived to be 122.

Some of you may be intrigued by the title of this episode. Jeanne Calment died on August 4, 1997. What is there to update? As it turns out, quite a lot. My first episode on Jeanne was published on July 26, 2019. I recorded it on an early morning walk, as I often do for the show. So it wasn't completely about Jeanne, and it was 28 minutes long. Not long ago, I noticed that that episode was by far the most popular video on my YouTube channel, which you can find at http://YouTube.com/@RunningAFEVER

And right now, I'm on my way to the gym. I'm on my way to the gym for the first time in a really long time. I can't even remember the last time I went to the gym. However, I have been paying them every month for that whole time. I guess I just kind of put that out of my mind. I had a debit card that had worn out and I was getting rejections at the stores. I had to get it replaced and instead of just changing the code, they changed the whole number, so everywhere I had that number saved I had to go resave it. And one of the places I had to change it was the athletic club where I work out. I waited until a payment was rejected and then changed it. But the payment was key because when I saw what the payment was, I'm like, shouldn't I be using this if I'm paying so much for it. So that kind of spurred me to go back to the gym.

I'm out walking along Spring Creek here. Doing alright. Hydration report: somebody left a full bottle of Gatorade in my yard. It was unopened so I put it in the fridge. I've been drinking it and it tastes like Gatorade. But it's called Frost Glacier Freeze. But it's as cool as it is. It's not cooler because there is some formula in it that makes it cool. It's cool because you put it in the fridge. But I guess people like to hear that. Thirst-quenching glacier freeze. The colder the better. Put it on ice.

400 episodes? Are you kidding me? What are the odds of that? More on that later. It's always a pleasure to know I am beating the odds, in whatever area of life I am involved in. But really, what are the odds of success, and how do we beat them?

It's a beautiful day today. I think it's slightly over 80 degrees. I decided to just go out for a walk. I didn't wear any sunscreen. But it looks there is some shade. We're on the other half of what we're calling the Spring Creek Trail, on the other side of the street. This is all new stuff, especially the part at the beginning with the blacktop and the yellow line in the middle. There seems to be quite a bit of shade, which is good because I didn't put on sunscreen today, and I didn't really hydrate well either. So I'm being hypocritical today. But I'm wrong, so there you go.
