I’ll update as the day goes, but the summarize, I haven’t been on an AC flight for 6-ish months and today is my first time back. Here is what I have noticed so far...... (will edit post and update as necessary).
Positive:
1) Getting into the lounge with just a BP and no card now actually works....

SERIOUSLY?
Several years ago I queried this forum about why it was necessary to produce your card when the BP had all the required info.
I was promptly offered up approximately one trillion reasons why presenting only the BP was a stupendously bad idea, could never ever work, and had zero chance of ever being implemented... EVER!!!!
And now it's policy?

lol, I don't mind but I hope others don't as well!
It was a Pokemon Go special event that I was taking advantage of, not the first time I have either. It was 11 days straight, and you're correct it's slightly more than a marathon each day. Blisters, chaffing etc are all part of it, but I have found ways to minimize it.
And while I do consider myself a fit person, it's not possible to do it in 8-9 hours a day because of how the game works, there are times you need to stop, etc. So it was closer to 14-19 hour days for 11 days straight.
By the end of it, I was with some people (people would join me for portions each day) and they were both laughing and worried for me because I couldn't make it up the last staircase going to the olympic torch at vancouver waterfront, I had to take the elevator up on the last day. So yes, I was more than a little tired.
But, if you want specifics I am more than happy to answer! Some days were actually as much as 58km, some days were as little at 33km.

Actually, no I have not!!! I am starting to loose hope
. That 100K package is never coming . Actually, it's a negative class of service of about 10% as it doesn't track distance correctly, so actual distance traveled was ~10% more.
