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.

Ran two miles in my neighborhood
My wife and I were planning on going down to the Jordan River, but my son and his family stopped by for a visit a few minutes before we were to leave. When they left there wasn't much time left before darkness, so we did loops around the streets in our neighborhood. My right quad was still tight, and I had to stop frequently to stretch the quad. The stretch that helped a lot was just the raising of my leg to let gravity provide resistance. My quad provided the energy to keep my leg suspended in the air. Each time I stopped, I would hold my right leg in the air for 10-20 seconds.
