Run the bitcoin price - month 6 results \ stacker news ~HealthAndFitness

Last month's post here: #1271323

I think this will be my final post of the running the bitcoin price series and just go back to a monthly running summary instead.

I've been having lower back and hip problems, and had to stop running for a big chunk of November. I recovered enough late in the month to get back to running shorter distances. Whether I succeeded in running the bitcoin price or not last month depends on if you count the November high price or the closing price. Anyways, here are the results.

I thought I got better, but was having lower back and hip pains again before my Nov. 30 run. I stuck with it, went for a slow 8km run, because I wanted to at least finish the month with 100km, which I ended up doing. But running through pain sucks. My acupuncturist had been warning me against too much running, so I might dial it down a bit in December, depending on how I feel. I need to recover fully because I have a marathon coming up in May and want to be 100% when I run that.

Unrelated side note, I'm already sitting at 1418km ran this year, which means I'm only 182km from reaching 1600km or 1000mi. I thought it would be cool to make it to 1000mi by the end of the year. I've never run that much in a year in my life and it would be pretty cool to be able to say that I ran 1000 miles in a year at 40 something years old. But running 182km in December is a challenge for me, especially with the lower back and hip pains bothering me. I'll type up a 2025 end of year running summary post at the end of December to report on how I did in December and also how I did this year.

In the meantime, keep running and stack the miles.

Impressive results as usual

I agree with the acupuncturist, though

Maybe there are some other things you can do to improve recovery, like stretching or yoga or tai chi. I know a lot of boomers who over did it when they were younger and now have fake hips and knees and lots of pain. You don't want that outcome if it can be avoided.

Yes, I'll try to stretch more and take it easy on myself in terms of the running.

Transition this to doing pull-ups, bodyweight squats, and push-ups

For pull-ups, every pull-up could be $5 or $10,000 worth.

If you're doing body weight workouts as much as you were running then you'll build a lot of muscle which will make you look and feel much stronger.

Better money, better bodies
