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/Walked another 1.5 miles
I went running in the late afternoon and repeated the course and distance used in my last run. One the way back, I stopped and added 2 seconds to my running, giving a run/walk ratio of 17 seconds/40 seconds. Two seconds doesn't seem like much of an increase, but it helps compensate for the time lost in the transition from running to walking and walking to running. The temperature during my run was in the high 60s (F), and on the way back there was a head wind of 5-10 mph. All in all, it was a nice day today. Sunny but large clouds in the sky.
