Go Ken! It's a life goal of mine to be as young as Ken when I'm in my 80s. Inspiring!

Sure brings back memories when kids got to be kids. My stories are similar only in Nevada. Glad you overcame your health scare! Finally took up running for sports when I was in my 60s. Now I just row and walk at 77. My brother turned 80 today. Still, I have ambitions, they have just changed as I discovered I'm getting older. Hope to meet you one day at our meet-up in the fall! :)

What an inspiring story of keeping on with what you love, even if you have to adapt to make it happen. Good luck with all your running plans for the future, Ken!

Great story and mine is similar. My serious medical issue was in 2023. I am signed up to run the Kentucky Derby half marathon at the end of April. I will run some and walk some and I will finish. At 74 now I hope to be doing this when I am 90. Keep moving. John S
