9. You are very active! I haven't run an 11-minute mile in, like, forever.

I started running in my 30's, then drifted away from it for 30 years. In 2014 when I turned 70, I just found myself running every day again. I do Zumba, that's my other sport.

You're only 62, so my advice is to run as often as possible, so your muscle memory will just kick in and it will be as natural as breathing. I need to follow my own advice and your example; I'm starting to let my age be an excuse.

I think about a 5K or 10K race, just have never signed up for one. multigraincracker Sep 2022 #1

That's a lot more running than I do, and faster too. Croney Sep 2022 #3

Hey! Congrats! I walked one today, but I was out there! Scrivener7 Sep 2022 #2

Congrats to you! You probably walked it faster than I ran, Croney Sep 2022 #4

Not if you placed 5th! That's great! Scrivener7 Sep 2022 #5

Ha, as I explained, I placed 5th in my age group of 5. Croney Sep 2022 #6
