weathafella Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Looking at the man in the mirror? He's old. Training onthe heart of winter would be rough but the thought is there..... And of course overcoming the aches and pains of training at my age means I start now......still hvent closed the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did and his body looked Iike he'd been running all his life. And the big caveat......working, If you work full time it's much tougher to train at advanced age.

Running a marathon isn't a requirement of being healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 That 78 yr old man that is now part of the image of the first blast did it....at least as far as I understand.I saw an interview with him. The force of the blast he said knocked him over but he was not injured and was actually able to finish and cross the finish line. You should start running.

That's the key. Train in the morning. If not you won't do it at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherMA Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Honestly, even Newtown didn't affect me like this for some reason, but everytime I see a pic of that kid who died I get legitimately angry. Dying sandy hook I was sad but for some reason not angry like this....anyway I don't know how that dad does it....talk about your world being turned upside down.

Baroclinic Zone Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Im trying dude. I'm trying. I have PVD and HFD to try and qualify. Honest question. How is it that I see all sorts of people your age running the marathon but are clearly not qualified to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 They are running for charities. I could certainly do that and I'm considering it if I fail to get 3:15 which is likely . I really want to get there by qualifying though. It's just a personal goal Ive set for myself. Boston is the elite of elite for marathons , and I'd like to be able to say I qualified to run it.

Even if you don't...3:30 is impressive. 3:15 is like 7:25 miles....26.2 of them. I've done 6 miles at that pace and that was hard enough. Good luck.
