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.

Added a bit to my long walk on Saturdays
My long walk is twice around the block and then extra distance. I waited until early Saturday afternoon to do the walk, and I added about 0.1 miles to the walk. The walk is currently about 1.92 miles.

My shoes are holding up
I'm trying to avoid compression of the soles of my shoes by alternating between two pairs of shoes. This allows me to use a pair of shoes after 24 hours of using a different pair.
I got in 1.45 miles today.

Still out there
I've been walking instead of running, but I'm still out there 4 or 5 times per week. The temperature during my walks has been in the 30s and 40s. We've had two nights with a deep frost, but most nights have been in the mid to high 30s.
I have added, though, a bit of distance to my walks. I feel stronger, so my times are probably the same or shorter than my previous times, even though my distance is longer.
