Typical Scenario

We were out running errands, yesterday and we knew we wanted to watch the soccer match at 5 0clock. I get antsy when I don’t get my run in. The carpet store, led to a trip to the library and then Lowe’s.

It was now half past four and the game would be on soon. I told my wife my run , I am okay to miss some of the match as getting a run in is more important to me. Sorry US soccer, running is more important to me. That may explain why they got a red card.

I used to be an elite long distance runner but time has taken its toll. I am happy to run 5000 kilometers. I do it everyday and some times go longer.

I enjoy the solitude and the aftermath of the endorphin high. Running is what I have been doing since the spring of 1983. It is who I am.

    Es ist gut, over here, mein Freund! Sorry my Oberrealschule Deutsch is shrinking! Back at the hands of the cruel gym coach, they used to make us (girls) run a mile, then get cleaned up and run into class, where Herr Bauer awaited for more torture. So, 3.1 mile daily is fantastic for our age. (I’m 83 y.o) I dared to extend it to 5ml. yesterday, before the Belgium/Senegal (where my hubby had free viewing tickets with his highs school buddies #62 and having a beer) and today I hardly want to move. Age does it! Prost!
