The running & walking experiences of an 86 year old man. I used to run and walk alone, but now I walk with my wife, although I sometimes go walking alone. My overall goal is to reach age 100 and still be walking for my long and medium walks. I enjoy my walks, especially those with my wife, although I miss going long distance.

Riverton City had cut a temporary dirt path around the damage and had a big concrete barrier blocking the trail to the damage. On my way back, I walked up to the damage to see how bad it was -- pretty bad. The damaged area is about 100 yards across, and the river has cut away the bank up to the middle of the trail. I'm expecting the city to make the temporary trail permanent. We'll see....
