Age is a State of Mind

Jim & Terry at Disney 1/13/13

These two people who are MY AGE* just completed the Goofy Challenge!! That is 13.1 miles followed by 26.2 miles.

This is Terry’s motto:

There may come a day when we can’t do this anymore. Today is not that day.

They both have struggled with physical problems but have never given in to them and seem to get better with age!

Way to go, Terry & Jim!!

(*I know that Terry is 59 & her hubby is even older & has MS.  It seems to run in the family.  Her son completed the Lake Placid Ironman with a broken collarbone!!)

I guess I have no excuse – At least the “I am too old” excuse:

  • I am too old to run that far.
  • I am too old to run that fast.
  • I am too old to run that often.
  • I am too old to run.

Yes, there will come a day when I can’t do this and today is not that day!!

in 12 weeks!!! Yikes!

Bring it on!!

Happy Running!  Do have a role model or someone who inspires you?

  1. LOVE this post. There is a couple in my area who are in their 70s and they definitely inspire me. They started running later in life like we did.
