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 0.62 miles again but was tired during the jog/walk
Judy and I went around the block again, but I was tired during the walk and took several standing rest stops of about 20 seconds each. I jogged a bit during the walk. I think I will stay in the neighborhood until I reach 1 mile or greater, and then I will go to the river. I like the Jordan River Parkway, because it is away from street traffic and the exhaust fumes that are emitted by vehicles.

I did 0.62 miles today & revised my previous numbers
I was out this morning, and I used my GPS to get a better measurement of the distance. I discovered that I needed to double all of my totals, because I was using the numbers from my poor memory, and the numbers turned out to be just the distance out, which is 1/2 of the total (I'm going out/back). So, I have modified the numbers for the past several weeks.
I did a a bit of jogging during the last half of my outing: 1 minute of jogging followed by several minutes of walking.

Did at least 0.3 miles walking
My wife and I (and our children and grandchildren) visited the new LDS City Center Temple in Provo, Utah. We, afterwards, went outside to meet some friends, and we walked at least 0.3 miles, between being inside the temple and outside the temple.

I did 0.6 miles again
I went out after midnight and walked my route around the neighborhood. I enjoy running and walking late at night. It is cooler, and my mind and body work well at night. I am truly a "night owl".

Did 0.60 miles again
I went out after dark and walked the route I used last week for a distance of 0.30 miles. Judy did not go with me, because we had family for dinner tonight, and Judy was very tired from cooking and setting tables on our new patio. I was also tired, due to the lateness of the walk, but I finished my walk and felt pretty good at the end. If I continue to feel good at the end of my walks this week, I may increase my distance for next week.

Did about 0.6 miles
Judy and I walked to and from a wedding reception that was held in a backyard in the neighborhood. Because of the time-limits on the reception, we were out before dusk.
