Any senior runners/joggers here? [View all]

I've been running - now jogging - for 30+ years. Mostly I hate getting out there but I feel wonderful afterwards. I try to go daily (2-5 miles) but not when its icy as I'm scared to death of falling.

My knees are not good so I land softly. Its pretty discouraging being passed so much by the young folks, especially on busy days, but I just keep watching the trail for rocks and either listen to the radio or say a centering prayer.

I hope I will continue to be able to keep up this regime as I get even older!! I really admire the 70 and 80 something people I see out there. I try to catch their eye and give them a "thumbs up." Sometimes they notice sometimes they are just looking straight ahead.
