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.

Weekly recap: 2.74 miles
I walked 3 days this week and added a bit to my walks. The temperature early in the week was cold, but it was nice today (low 40s (F)). There is 1-2 inches of snow on the ground and ice in driveways, but the warmer weather that is predicted should melt the snow and ice.

Weekly recap: 3.56 miles
During this week, I walked 5 days, and I added a small amount to my long walk and did about 3.56 miles for the week. There was a brisk head wind coming from the south, and even though the actual temperature was 34 (F), the wind chill felt colder, especially when I was going south and the wind was a head wind.
We had a few snow flurries during the week, but the snow didn't amount to much. The temperature during the week was in the mid 30s to mid 40s. We are expecting more snow on Monday, so we'll see what happens.

Weekly recap: 3.51 miles
I walked five days this week, for a total distance of 3.51 miles. This week the temperature was in the high 30s to mid 40s (F). Today, however, the temp was about 32. The sidewalk is clear of ice an snow. The increase in total distance was less than 10%, and I felt pretty good.

Again, a weekly recap but this time for 3.26 miles
The temperature during most of my walks was in the mid to high 20s (F), and it was cold. As long as I kept moving, I was OK. I walked four days this week. The temperature, however, this morning when I went around the block twice for 1.24 miles was about 30. The sidewalk this morning was mostly clear, but I walked in the street a bit when the sidewalk was snow/ice covered while the street was clear.
