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.

Did another 2 miles
I felt pretty good today, but I decided to keep my distance this week at 2 miles/run to give my body more time adjusting to the distance. I went running about 2:30 pm. There weren't many people on the path. The temperature was in the mid 30s (F), with a brisk, gusty wind of about 20 mph. I keep forgetting to wear gloves, and my hands got cold. I put them in my jacket pockets while I walked, and that helped. Last Saturday I increased my walking from 30 seconds to 40 seconds, and my running is still at 30 seconds. I was doing 30 seconds each phase, and the 40 seconds gives me a bit more rest between the running phase.
