11 miles at 7:30 pace up and down the Jordan River Parkway after work. Beautiful afternoon. Well, I'm all the time sore and achy everywhere. Knees, shins, feet... even after days off or easy days. I've read lots about how some runners adapted to the realities of an old body and about 60,000 miles on the odometer. John Keston (the first over 70 guy to break 3 hours) trained every other day with long two to three hour walks on the "off" days. Might have to start making some concessions without surrendering. |
