Props to you! I quit running after the Army

Just lift now.

But much respect for your dedication!

I’m 53. When my kids were in football I would lift with them. All dumbbells. We were doing bench with 80s 5 sets of 6. If I had it to do over I would have only done body weight (yoga). My shoulders and elbows regret the lifting.

I feel you, brother. I'm 57 now. But I have a weight training program that keeps me fit without killing the 'old man'. 3 days a week. Ive had surgery on both shoulders (thanks, Iraq), so I have to be careful. But it can be done.

We’re not growing old gracefully …..we’re fight that **** with everything we’ve got.
Feel free to post your workouts here.

It helps me keep on keeping on.

I spent some years doing 5x5, which is a great routine for people starting out.

I'm on a split routine now, push/pull/legs then 2 days off. Seems to work well.

I decided to invest in some home gym equipment during the COVID scare (since I was telecommuting anyway). One of my best decisions. A long bar, a EZ-bar, a landmine, and a 400-lb plate setup will do almost anything you want.

Did 1.6 in 13:30, and 1.75 in 15

 

[Orangeslice13]

New goal.
5 miles 8:30 pace by the time I turn 54 next August.

This morning

 

[Orangeslice13]

So during this mornings run a neighbor dropped all her stuff getting into her car. I stopped and helped her pick things up. Can you guess when that happened?

You’re a good man Slice

I don’t know about that, my brother. But thanks just the same.
I just try to do what I’d want others to do. If the red women dropped all her stuff I’d hope a passerby would take a minute to help.

Still running
Ran 6.7 miles the other morning. Will run for about an hour this evening for 7 miles or so.

I'm here...My Fitbit died and had to get a new one shipped to me. Got up and did 4 miles at 6:30 this morning. I hope to get another walk in before it pours down.

Hey! I swam on Monday, but didn’t really have a good morning. Just one off those days where you wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something. I’ll be swimming again tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll feel better then.

Hey. Running a bunch, just doing a lot of organized group runs.

Love this time of year. Best running weather.

I’ve got to make that loop in 47:36 to make goal by the time I’m 54. I may have to find somewhere flat to run for the goal attempt.

 

[KoachKrab127]

I swam 2400 again today. I mixed it up a little though. Did a distance set of 6x200. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be.

21 miles, 29.9mph on the long straightaway, 13.2 avg (too much riding 2 abreast talking).
