My wife and I went walking after we returned home from the Oquirrh Mountain Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). I was tired and didn't feel like walking, but I went anyway. I took two or three brief (5-10 seconds) standing rest breaks during the walk.
We've been pretty busy during the past couple of weeks. My granddaughter was married in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) on September 21st, and the reception was in our back yard. We went to Evanston, Wyoming the next day for a reception there. We have a new floor in our house (white oak) that was finished two days before the wedding (lots of boxes and furniture to move). As Murphy would have it, our vacuum cleaner broke in-half two days after the wedding.
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.

Another 0.62 Miles
I am feeling stronger as I get used to this distance. I go walking after dark when it is cooler, and I'm not as tired when I finish the distance as I used to be.
When I was younger and ran longer distances, 5 miles was considered a rest distance. Now, I'm older and 0.62 miles is all I can do.

0.62 Miles
I went around the block again for another 0.62 miles. I was out a little earlier, while it was dusk but still light. I didn't do any jogging during my walk. Judy was gone shopping during my walk.

Did another 0.62 miles
Judy and I went walking during dusk. We walked around the block, which is 0.62 miles. We stopped for about 5 minutes to talk with a neighbor. I didn't have anything or anybody to touch while we were stopped, and I had a hard time keeping my balance. I didn't do any jogging during my walk.
