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.

Felt stronger today and did another 2.6 miles
I ran/walked to the bench south of 10600 South and back to the parking lot at 10000 South. There was a gusty head-wind of 15-20 mph going out, which made running and walking harder, but the gusts were a tail-wind on the way back, although the gusts weren't as strong as they had been. I took one short rest stop going out (0.83 miles) and two rest stops (1.6 and 2.1 miles) on the way back. When I turned around and headed back, I immediately felt the warmth of the sun, and I started to sweat. I went about 3/4 mile and then took off my nylon windbreaker. I felt fine afterwards. The sky was cloudy but sunny, and it was a nice day to be out.
