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.

Extended my jog/walk to 2.7 miles
My wife was out with our two grandkids who live nearby, so I went running by myself. I left in the early afternoon. The temperature was in the lower 50s (F), and it was a great day to be out. The sun was shinning, and there were beautiful cumulus clouds in the sky. Instead of turning around at our usual bench, I extended my run to the next bench, a total of 2.7 miles. I took extra rest stops to compensate for the longer distance. An increase of 0.2 miles isn't much for younger runners, but for an old guy like me, it is a significant increase.
