In the 20s, it was marathons, 10Ks, half marathons all year long, all the while pushing myself as hard as I could go. With a few years of no racing in my 30s, I just grew to love running beyond imagination. Now, in my 40s, running is an absolute passion and a way of life. The emphasis is on running/training smart, racing only a couple of key races a year, and mostly enjoying the fact that my 47 year old body looks and acts like a 20 year old!gon4runhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656569970179760192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-29595665752561408772012-02-18T17:19:06.660-07:002012-02-18T17:19:06.660-07:00Having been a serious, consistent runner for the l...Having been a serious, consistent runner for the last 30 years, I have adapted my running to the aging process.

Not sure I have adapted to it yet.GZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623054918799881730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979545333979747089.post-9588666411867573552012-02-17T21:13:07.207-07:002012-02-17T21:13:07.207-07:00Good post.

I'm 42 and in the best shape of my life. i've set prs in every conceivable running distance in the past 6 months. It's mental discipline that makes a good runner.<br /><br />Unfortunately, I'm also injured because I forget I'm 42 sometimes.Trent (Scott) Lorcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838546029305513134noreply@blogger.com
