I keep telling Beau that is my plan for Old Age. At 70 I’ll suffer a mild heart problem, then knuckle down and start running marathons. ;)
It’s an interesting plan....
Our kids figured that we had one foot in the grave when CoVid hit, and it really made me mad for them to think of us like that. I think of us as young, so we took the opportunity to get into shape by walking and hiking. Not that we were in bad shape, but we thought it was important to improve our fitness so they didn’t worry so much.
It’s worked! Now when we visit them, we can keep up with their hiking step for step (daughter is an AVID hiker). I’m not much of a runner, but I can walk just about anywhere. All the work outdoors helps, too, and I know you do plenty of that.
