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.

Another nice run!
I ran the 4.5 miles again on the Jordan River Parkway. I left about an hour later than I did on Monday. The temperature was 82 (F) when I left and 91 when I returned. Most of my run was in the direct sun, and in terms of heat-transfer the effective temperature was over 100. There was no breeze at all. I made a mistake in not taking any water with me, and it was hot! I took frequent walking breaks, and I ran around 12:30 miles. I felt fine during and after the run. My wakeup heart rate was 54.
