bigmogA decade ago, my means of staying active was jogging. It’s a cheap form of exercise and can be done nearly anywhere. I even trained for a 10k race here and did well at both of my attempts.

When Lefty tore his ACL and later became a senior dog, he was no longer able to run so I dropped my routine for him. To make up for the lost cardio, I bought a stationary bike. This added the bonus of TV watching while I exercised.
So when I got Buster, I wasn’t concerned that basset hounds are poor jogging partners. The bike provided me enough exercise even if I wasn’t as consistent riding it.
My latest return to cycling revealed an annoying rhythmic noise coming from the bike. Hours of troubleshooting, with the aid of AI and the manufacturer, revealed the repair would require a costly replacement part.
A cheaper resolution is a pair of sneakers. Running 1 mile was enough to exhaust me; I am out of shape. At least the only annoying noise is me gasping for air.
