Don started running when he was 50 years old. Within months, he noticed that at the end of the workday, he wasn't as tired as he had been as a sedentary person. Curious about his limits, Don trained for a marathon, using my gentle beginner program, and finished his first 26 miler within 12 months of having taken his first running steps. While he made a few mistakes during the marathon and experienced tired legs for several weeks after this event, he was hooked on the unique satisfaction and accomplishment bestowed by distance walks and runs. Don will turn 75 this year and is now running a marathon about every month with several friends in their 70's and 80's. He doesn't have any joint issues and has sustained energy all day long to enjoy his busy retirement schedule. Don's story is similar to accounts I hear from many long distance walkers, every year.

The teamwork of mind/body/spirit keeps you going during any long or stress-filled day.
