running for my life
A new study shows that healthy runners do not harm their joints as they age. One can keep running into their 70’s and 80’s.
Of course, as with anything, moderation is key. You don’t want to run with pain or when injured.
From CNN:
That includes not running through pain, and resting if you have an injury, something Tuttle takes seriously. “I try to rest maybe if I’m having some specific pain that seems to be over a couple of days,” she says.
Hello poor neglected blog. The slacker is back. After a nice 5.4 miles yesterday I was so energized for an 8+ mile run today. It felt great! Of course spring has sprung and that helps. It was the first time I’ve been able to wear shorts as it was a balmy 45 degrees. I ran close to the rising Red River and was amazed at all the dike building going on. We’re just waiting for the flood waters to flow. After my run I had one of my favorite post run smoothies – blueberry, peanut butter, ovaltine and protein.
