Enjoyed this post so much!! And her final time was my finish time during my second marathon - CIM. I was 64 and felt awesome when I finished. Best ever. Never felt that good again after a marathon. Now I love 50k’s (10 finished so far) and I entered my first 100k next April - climbed mount whitney this past week and experienced my first ride and tie championships. Life is all about new experiences and pushing your limits-which certainly change as you age. Cheers!

Super cool post. I'm not an avid racer, and I prefer the trails. So, perhaps it was due to peer pressure, or perhaps it was because I needed to confirm that I could do it, but last year I followed an 8-week, trail to marathon program and earned my first sub3 marathon. This is to say, YES, let's mix it up. Let's try shorter stuff on the roads, let's try harder stuff in the mountains, let's do it all while we can. Because why not?
