      I should have run in hs. At 29 I started cycling. At 34 I started road racing bikes and at 50 I started running seriously for fitness and health. Now I'm enjoying trail running.

      Biking & running since the 90's then 2 years ago I really got into running which earned me a "most improved" hoodie in the WFM Green Trek Challenge. After a lousy 2011, Green Trek & DM have caused my wrkouts to skyrocket again!

  5. #dailymission I have had 3 phases of running-in my teens, in my 30s and now in my late 40s-mid 50s. This last time around, it has been 9 years, and has encompassed 16 marathons and 20 half marathons.

      So true. It feels great to run past people 20 years younger, and still have a lot of improvement left for many years to come.

      The nice thing is that your shoes last a really long time when it's one run every 10 years... and that's even enough time for the colors to come back into style.

      I also started running pretty recently- about 4 years ago. I also wish that I had started running at least ten years ago, but all that I can do now is get as fast as I can while I still can.

  17. #dailymission I started running in September of 2010, so almost 2 years. I was never an athletic person but decided to give running a try and I enjoy it for many, many reasons.

  18. #dailymission I've run recreationally since the summer of 1976... One of my friends from that era is still running, but she and I are the only ones from our original group.

    I like a combination of Jack Daniel's and Steve Magness' training philosophies, but no training plan would be complete without reading "RUN" by Matt Fitzgerald.

  20. #dailymission Wednesday, August 22nd, is my 1 year anniversary!
