Fishing and bicycling
I love to fish and now that I am in Arkansas it is a great opportunity.
I use to Run every other day for 30 years at least 2 miles and up to 10 miles but had to stop that before
I wore out my knees, so switched to biking about 10 to 20 miles twice to three times weekly, weather permitting.
As a result U have excellent health.
