Keep going, Betty! I'll be closer to 76 when my Marathon starts in Big Sur. Fortunate to have this community behind me as well as the Chi Running/Walking Community. It really helps one keep going for so many weeks and s many miles! :)

It IS my first Marathon! Never would have tried if the promoters hadn't' challenged me with a "Random Drawing." and a reduced price. :) I thought they wouldn't choose me 1. because of my age and 2. because I never win at drawings. Shows how much I know! I got an email the day after I hurt my head saying that said I had won an entry. Before, this, I stayed with Half Marathons and 10Ks. . .
If my husband hadn't implied that I was too old for a marathon and "that I didn't have to go!" I'll make a point of finishing!
A few years back, he said the same thing about learning handstands and back bends when I was 70. . . Ha, ha, I can do them just fine in spite of the grey hair, wrinkles . ;)
My head seems to have gone back to it's normal old crazy self. Thanks for asking! It's still scary to run cuz I never did find out what happened! Prepping now for 24 weeks training. Geez, it is going to take some effort. I've never run 20 some miles in my life!
