I needed that column, and I thank you for it. I’m 84, and while I’ve almost always run, didn’t start marathons until 2005 at age 65, with Houston, qualified for Boston (by 46 seconds) and ran it in 4:19. Then more races, climaxing with Amsterdam at age 78. Now, I have severe runner’s knee and need a group to propel me to a half this year. Thank you for being here.
Thank YOU for being here, Harry! Even though you're injured now, your story is so inspirational, I hope you know -- especially qualifying for Boston at 65 with a 4:19 finishing time! That's seriously amazing!!! Really glad you're here, and I hope to hear more of your story as we go 🙌
Rain, rain, rain and fog, in the 50s. . . like a produce mister outdoors. Interesting you should bring up Jean-Paul Sartre. Husband #1 was obsessed with him as author. . . so much that he named his first-born after the man. Wonder whatever happened to the young one. . .this was in the 70s.
Still rowing. I have another challenge going for January. Did 7300 meters today (an hour). I'm in it for the Long Haul which will be 30 hours by the end of the month. :)
This New Year's Day post is already setting the "high bar" we have come to know and expect. And you never let us down... Thanks for kicking it off with the big mind (Sartre) and the big heart ( People Get Ready). ♥️👣♥️‼️
Thank you for this New Year message! Long before I started running, I was a French major and was mildly obsessed with the existentialists. One of my resolutions this year is to bring some of my "past loves" back into my life, so I just downloaded Sarah Bakewell's audiobook to listen to on my next run! :)

Thanks for a great opening to 2025.
Thank you, Betty!

Thank you my friend! Always good to hear from you, and hopefully we'll meet up in person someday for a run or a race! 🙌
