Flying a 172 with Autopilot?

Just did my BMI.... 19.4 5'10 and the same weight I was in high school,
135. In fact, I've finally worn out some of the jeans that I wore 20 years
ago. They were a bit tight, but I've only gone up one inch in the waist in
24 years. Of course all that also means that after about 3 beers I'm toast.

Were you the one in the ad who was at the beach getting sand kicked in
his face?

(OT silly 1976 stuff below)

Distance runner in High School - because I wasn't fast enough to be a
sprinter ...so I *must* have endurance. For me The Mile was a 4:58 SPRINT!!
(Yup, under 5 minutes - twice in my life)

Oh to be 16, with wings on my feet again. BTW, those wings were the same
shoes Forrest Gump was running in. Nike white, with red and blue heels
(1976).

Coach: ...Hit the road, we're doing a fast 8 miles today!
Me: .........Huh?
Coach: ...We should be done in just under an hour.
Me:..........Huh?

I could do multiple 7-minute miles (or 7:30-miles) in practice, but for the
life of me I could not get under 5 minutes in a race. At my 16-year-old
best, I could do sub 6-minute miles on a 5 mile dash (28-29-30 minutes), but
still the 4:30 Mile eluded me. That drove my coach nuts!

State Mile Record was 4:08 in Minnesota at the time, so I was only a scant
50 seconds off that mark, which is about ...oh, one lap!! g

I shunned all marathon talk because I was a sprinter at heart - albeit a
very, very slow sprinter.

It'd be sad if Armstrong, a de facto ambassador for science, had said
something so baseless. Is there any evidence that he actually did?

Google Neil Armstrong quotes first hit first quote

It's Google, I know. If it was in a Quote Book at the library would that be
a better proof/evidence? Hmm, probably. :-)

I have a feeling that whoever did say it was saying it in jest, and in
jest it would not be sad if Armstrong said it.

I transitioned from being a high school first baseman to a college pitcher
because my sorry hiney couldn't take that 90 feet from home plate to first
base after a slow roller to the infield without being thrown out as I passed
the opposing dugout. Ptichers ain't gotta BE fast, just gotta THROW fast.
Or throw junk that weaves its way from the mound to the plate via goosey
routes. Tha's me.

I hope he said that in jest - whilst doing exercise will increase your
heart rate whilst doing it, if you are fit your resting heartbeat will
be far lower than an unfit person.

An unfit person probably has a resting heartbeat of around 70-75 bpm.
I'm reasonably fit and my resting heartrate is around 50 bpm. Since you
only do vigorous exercise for a fairly short time but there's lots of
sitting around to do you'll use far less if you're fit!
