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.

Boy, what a run!
I really had a fast run today. I ran 18 miles on the Jordan River Parkway with an average pace of about 6:45. I got a good 12 hours sleep last night, and I think that energized me. I haven't run this fast since I was in marathon training 25 years ago. Wow! I'm still on a runner's high! I should be able to run the Salt Lake City Marathon in three weeks and qualify for Boston. Then it'll be Boston in 2009. Whoopee! Oh, by the way, happy Aprile Pazzo as my Italian speaking son-in-law would say.
