So that’s one good thing about getting older!

Love this quote too:

“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” – Mark Twain

And this:

Also this Jimmy Buffet song:

As far as running goes, over the past 5 years, I have run:

  • over 70 5K races
  • several 3.5, 4 and 5 mile races
  • one 10K race
  • one 15K race
  • 6 half marathons

(Even a strained achilles, broken ankle, foot stress fracture didn’t stop me… well, at least not for long)

first half marathon

still look happy

Half marathon #6 (2 years later)

I’m growing older but not up.
My metabolic rate is pleasantly stuck.
So let the winds of change blow over my head.
I’d rather die while I’m living then live while I’m dead.
~Jimmy Buffet

I don’t plan to stop running any time soon! My 5k times may get slower but I still think I can improve my Half Marathon times.  I will run until it stops being fun. (Check out this article on Kathy Martin, age 61)

yup. that’ll be me (but not for a while!!)

So…

#60

Happy Running! Thanks for stopping by! How do you feel about getting older?
