Congrats! 1/2 a marathon is a long distance whether walking or running. I'm almost ready to commit to doing that distance-there are a couple November races I might be able to fit in the schedule in my area. I got in a 10 mile run on Sunday 95 minutes. I can't believe that at the start of the summer I struggled to do 4 miles in 44 minutes and I was exhausted the rest of the day. Sunday I got the run in and then went for a walk with my wife and also packed and moved a truckload of boxes. I love to see the progress that can be made with consistent commitment... Keep it up!

When I was in 8th grade, I once biked a 6 mile highway road (Loop 20) from my grandpa's importing business to a Speedy Stop gas station on a school night. It was really dark and I used my Aunt's old beat up baby blue bike. I had no other way of getting home so I biked the whole thing to get close to home. Haha it was ridiculous, but it was a lot of excercise.
As soon as I got to the house I immediately felt hypoglycmic. I checked and I was 40. I devoured a banana right then and there!

:]

My last marathon became a half marathon in 2001 at age 59. I fell about 100 yards short of the halfway point and couldn't get up. So congratulations.

I have completed 37 marathons, though.

My workout tonight will be to take my grandson to the park and try to keep up with him. He's 5 and I can't.

I used to not be able to do a single pushup. My best set yet is 25!! And I mean real pushups, not knees.
