I've been a ham for over 35 years, since junior high school.  Haven't
been physically active until recently.  I've done a lot of mobile-based
transmitter hunting with an occasional "sniff" at the end, typically
no more than 1/4 mile from the car.

Recently got into geocaching, ARDF and finally classic orienteering which
I joke about as being my three "Geeks in the woods" type of activities.
I attend most of the local(ish) orienteering meets, about a 90 to 120
mile drive each for me, about one a month.

Hardly ever do mobile hunts any more.

I have also taken up some local running events to stay in shape for both
orienteering and ARDF.  5K, 10K, ten-mile and half-marathon.  I'm not
particularly fast, my best 10K is 47:50 but I'm working more on endurance
than speed right now.

And, if you're  a thirsty trail runner trying not to get lost, you can't
beat your local Hash House Harrier group for fun training.
