Thanks to a conversation I had with one of my MRTT running besties, Erin, yesterday morning, I immediately decided to write about the Five Things I Love About Being An Older Runner.

 

1.  I’ve met so many amazing runners over the years that every race is like attending a runner’s reunion.

2.  I’m not expected to PR at every race, but when I do, it’s magical!

3.  I have years of running and life experiences to share with my running friends, whether they want to hear them or not.

4.  Since I’m over 50, I don’t give a crap about what others think, and if I need to stop behind a bush, spit, or blow a snot-rocket, I will!

5.  Every year I’m getting a little bit closer to being that adorable little-old-lady waddling over the finish line, and winning her age group because she’s the only one in it.

 

  • Questions:
  • What do you look forward to as you get older?
  • What are your fun plans for the weekend? ~ I’m going to see the Nats play on Sunday!
  • Who’s racing this weekend?
