Over 50 doesn't have to be over the hill.
Hold on to goals that you have been thinking about,
and create new ones.
While many athletes started competing as children, I didn't find running until my high school freshman year, when a friend brought me to my first Cross Country practice. I immediately took to it.
Running has given me so much, teammates and friends, focus and life long lessons. My greatest gift came through running = my wife! Every day feels like a gift. I am grateful to my family, and to my supporters for making this possible.
A side benefit of running is how I have been able to maintain a level of fitness well past when I should have. While injuries take much longer to heal, I feel pretty much the same as I did 20+ years ago.
This comes in handy when sailing competitively, or when keeping up with my kids in the moguls.

As Teddy Roosevelt said:
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
I work every day to better myself and keep pushing.

I have re-embraced my need for speed, and try to run a quality interval session every week. In most weather, I run at a high school track. ...

During the buildup to Boston, I run with Joint Ventures out of Kenmore Square, or often just run to the hills on my own.

My supporters mean the world to me.
Each year, I run Boston Marathon with the team
Marathon Strides Against Multiple Sclerosis (MSAMS).
The comaraderie is great, and my teammates, several of whom have MS, have so many inspiring stories.
