2 years after tendon pocalypse, the lion kingdom has evolved into a schedule of 1 speed work day 1 week, then 1 long run 1 week later. 2 years without speed work led to quite a degradation in the quads. They were powerful painful after the 1st speed work in 2 years. Definitely wasn't at past fitness in the last marathon.
The tendon has responded better to polarized efforts. Running every day has no longer been possible for more than a few days in a row. More time sitting has also benefited it. The most dramatic change has been no longer running if the weather is sub optimal.
Cutting the mileage in Oct for 1 month before the marathon led to a virtually pristine tendon on race day & for several days afterwards, but eventually it degraded to where it started. Lions pulled back before it reverted all the way to not navigating stairs. The easy month did regain the ability to navigate stairs but it experienced no permanent recovery.
With 4 weeks to go, lions only have to hit 30 miles/week to break 3000 for the year. After that, the weekly mileage is going to plummet, as lions shift to no longer running in sub optimal conditions & no longer on consecutive days.
The big question is if going back to shoes would benefit it. Hokas have become very painful. Lions now get blisters from over 2 miles in those. The left tendon meanwhile has continued to be as good as 40.
After 15 years of being manely car independent & a lot more exercise than 25 years ago, lions have pondered the life of luxury.

After 12 years, found yet another shaving orientation that works better. The holes in the braun C series are rectangular, so they don't catch as many hairs in the short direction. They do seem to catch more hairs in the long direction, so wiping back & forth in the knife direction gives better results than wiping in the short direction or swirling. Gootube videos used to recommend a swirling motion, but it might have only been effective in the long direction.
It should definitely wipe in the short direction to cover the most area & the longest hairs. For the 2nd pass, it should wipe the trouble spots in the long direction.

Important note from Duane:
> Men over 55 are more than twice as likely to remarry than women
The leading reason in lion minds is to preserve their estates after death. Most of the wealth in US is generated by men & inherited by women through divorce, death, taxes. The men are just shifting their estates into may-december marriages.
The lion kingdom could end up in a case of having leftover junk to get rid of, not having any charity which would accept the junk, & just picking some desperate foreigner to unload it on through marriage.
Though not described, all those may-december marriages probably are with desperate foreigners. Even though western women all vote liberal & pick older men, they're not liberal enough to enter a marriage purely as a business transaction to collect an estate.

Pre 1980 policy: affordability targeting
- wage inflation must stay within a certain range of price inflation
Post 1980 policy: inflation targeting
- the average of wage deflation & price inflation must be 3.5% or 2% officially.
Inflation targeting creates a gap between wages & prices that is closed by credit. It comes & goes with interest rates. It's once again at a point where the gap between wages & prices is a headline. It's not a headline in times of lower interest rates. Suspect they'll get interest rates back down to the point where credit once outweighs the gap & it ceases to be a headline again.
