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.

Changed my goal to not race the Salt Lake City Half-marathon in April
I've enjoyed running a few races during the past two years, and I'd like to do more. However, I haven't enjoyed the constant pressure to train to run faster and faster. I've always run for the pure enjoyment of it, and I'd like to return to that style of running. So, my current goal is just to regain my ability to run 13 miles. No goals about upcoming races. I will get faster as I develop endurance, and depending on how I feel in the Spring, I may still run that half. I've been thinking about this for a number of weeks and decided last week to refocus myself to run for the pure enjoyment of it. I think I'm starting to relate more to John "the Penguin" Bingham :)
