I'm 59 Years Old And...

OldAssDude

I started adding jog intervals into my power walks about 4 months ago.

Started with 30 second intervals, then 1 minute, then 1.5 minutes. I started getting bored with timing it so I just started trying to run more distance each time.

It's been about 4 months since I could only jog for 30 seconds, and Sunday, I jogged 5 miles on hilly terrain...:)

just feel like bragging cause I'm an old dude who can run 5 miles now...lol

Way to go! Just keep going and the mileage will continue to increase. (btw: I'm right there with you at 59)

Even we old guys can do some pretty awesome stuff.

I started running in my early 50s and I'm still improving (actually won my age group last year at a sprint duathlon) and have signed up for an Olympic triathlon next spring. Keep it up!

Way to go! Have you considered entering 5K or 10K races?
