I am in the 50+ age group. I have had two hip replacements. The last one was in Oct of 1999.
I have to say I am new to running, this will be my third season coming up. I got into running after a geocaching event where I placed 10th. I have ran one marathon, but my training was not the best. I finished in 6 1/2 hours. I love running half’s and just enjoy getting into my zone during my long runs. The running has paid off and I placed third in my age group at this last years event.
I look forward to reading about ya’ll and getting to know you.
The beauty of running is getting into the “zone”. That area of consciousness where you are spending time thinking about work, family, life, etc. and not realizing you are running while you are doing it. That is my “zone”, I am betting it is your too. Keep us up to date on your progress.
