Over Sixty

posted almost 3 years ago | Report

I'm actually over sixty but a very active runner and biker. I've been working out since I was in my mid-thirties.

    Welcome Patricia,

    Wow I hope I can stay active well into 60's and 70's. I just started walking about 4 years ago, slowly progressed to running now I try to get 3 to 4miles in every night. It's not so much the running for me it's how I feel after.

    See you on Dailymile......John H

    I started running in my mid-thirties, and I've been doing something ever since, including aerobics, step, biking, etcetera. I'm lucky to have a few friends near my age who still exercise, but they've been dropping off, one by one. (Not passing away, just couching it.) I really, really enjoy being outside and pushing myself. I've had occasional knee problems, but nothing that's stopped me.

    How about you guys?

    I use a 3M Nexcare knee wrap sometimes if I have experience pain the day before, it seems to help physically and mentally when I have any soreness. I beat up my knee's real good when I was younger snow ski racing for several years. So far I have been lucky to not have any problems bad enough where I can not run, that would be bad for me "mentally".
