Who are we? We strive for a high level of fitness. We train hard. We don't believe that Age is a factor.

This group is for serious athletes over the age of 50 who seek a higher fitness ground. We have experiences to share and questions to ask of those who have been there.

Mini-Marathon

The Indy Mini-Marathon is two weeks from today. I am doing a ten mile training race tomorrow. I will continue regular training through this week. The week before the mini, I will taper my miles. I have continued lifting weights about 3-4 times a week through my training preparation. I am considering not lifting during the week prior to the mini to make sure that I am rested.
My race plan for the past few years has been to start out slow and save strength for the past two miles.

Runner's Toe

I was going to do a nine mile run yesterday, but had to quit at six. I was having a lot of toe pain. It is the classic runners toe. The second toe nail was black. I ended up having it drained last night. I will probably lose the nail. The pain is gone today. I have had this happen a number of times. It was usually due to too thick socks or shoes too small. The only thing I can attribute this to is having a nail that needed trimming. I am scheduled for a half marathon on May third. I am nervous about injuries this close to the race. I have only missed this event twice in the last twenty-one years.

Lifetime Fitness

Ar rookie coming on board,

Started running again after a 12 year layoff because of arthroscopic surgery on both knees. Been working with a Personal Trainer, heavy work on weights 3 times a week to give the knees the support they need. Getting ready for a 5 K next month, then a 365 mile bike ride, then a mini-triathlon in July. It's like a miracle to be running again and it feels great. Need to work on my diet so I have more energy and at the same time lose weight. Cross Country skin in the winter for variety.

Wow

Wow, thanks for the invite Rad. I've never considered myself "an athlete" before, but after 18 months of lifting i guess i qualify now. how cool is that?
i'm off to Arizona for a week where i'll be cycling, walking, working out in the senior center and swimming laps. to me, that's vacation. and warmth!

Thanks for the invite

I've been really busy with work and personal life - haven't been on Eons much lately. Each of us has 24 hours and how we use them is our choice. I hope to be able to read, participate and contribute on this forum!

Looks like this will be a great forum!
