Old timer and Ray:
We do what we can and try what we can't. Just don't give up. I miss trail running and wildlife encounters (Except for copperheads and poison ivy) now it is drivers ignoring crosswalks and oblivious right turners on red. I tried machines and a couple of expensive gadgets but keeping it simple seems to work best. Slow motion 5ks, many reps with light dumbells (can't use a barbell because it takes two arms in coordination). just do! Tie my shoes (I break out in a sweat) Peel potatos! Feed the birds. Anything. The local race timers added an over 80 age group just so I wouldn't have to compete with runners 14 years younger than me.
Sounds like if we added one more to us we would make one hell of a relay.
