Too Old to run (Read 591 times)

    My wife's granfather ran into his 90s - He would shuffle along at a pretty decent pace for 20-30 minutes a day.  Of course the downside - His body outlasted his mind ...

    Long dead ... But my stench lingers !

          You are not to old, I started at 62, almost 5 years ago. The first months everything ached, then went slowly away. Somewhere along the line I fell in love with it! Take it slow, no slower, as had been said by others. This it is a great group of folks. Listen to them

           

          That's pretty awesome. Smile It's never too late to make positive lifestyle changes.

            That's where the "return home" function on your garmin comes in Smile

             

            I have actually used that when I've been running in an unfamiliar place and become hopelessly lost...
