I placed 5th in a 5K today. [View all]

There were five people in my category, women 70+, in a field of 2,000. When there are three or fewer women running, I get a medal, and I have about twenty so far; we do four races a year.

My husband was first in his age group, 70+ men, just once so far, but he is a much faster runner than I am. My joints are all replaced.

If there are other senior runners here, I'd love to hear your stories.
