One goal I have each year is an idea given to me by an older running friend 20 years ago. He said every year on his birthday, he would run his age in minutes. 50 years old, 50 minutes. Speed doesn’t matter. He is still doing that. So each Jan 14, I make sure I am prepared to do that. So coming up here in a few weeks, I better be prepared to run my 64 minutes.

You CAN do it!!!! I'm 71, wanted to do 35 half"s before turning 70, last year. I did a half, in 2002 in Nville, one month before I was 50...By the time I decided to go for making it to the 35th, back in Nville. In '22,,,, would be my 20th anniversary with running. Really excited till I did the numbers!! I needed 4, and this was little over 6 mts away.... First reaction was No Way... however if you think you can't, you won't. But, if you Think you can, you Will. I Did it... Bful race in Lancaster PA, very hilly, but I wasn't in it to do by certain time,,, breathtaking bful.... Mid Oct one was flat! In Franklin Tn, 25 miles away...
April 1st Savannah Ga, flat, so bful.. then last Sat in April did my 35 in Nville, 70 the end of May!!!!
So you're younger,,,, I Know you can. I've done 2 this year, and still love them.....However Really love them when there're over... !!!!
I've loved the older runner's stories, it makes you keep pushing it, even when conditions are not favorable that you can even run that day....
Just keep saying one foot in front of the other.... By the way I'm Betty Jones, and hope each one of you has a wonderful Christmas. .And, many thanks to you Terrell....
