I've been a jogging and running since I was in my early thirties. When I turned forty years old I started running races, (5K's, 10k's, 1/2 marathons and marathons) because they were offered on a weekly basis thru-out most of So.Calif. It was easy, just sign up and show up so I did and my journey into the world of running races began. I loved it!!
Now thirty five years later I love running less. I went from twenty five miles per week to twelve. I began to have sciatica problems in my left leg. I was much more susceptible to nagging little aches and pains as I grew older. That's the bad news.
The good news is, I discovered that running helped build a strong core and endurance level that now allows me to do all the other sports I really enjoy, (tennis, weights, swimming, hiking, skiing, biking) with out injury.
My experience is enjoy the exercise or sport until it becomes an effort then simple switch to something else. There is nothing like change to reinvigorate oneself.
Keep it Simple, Consistent and Fun.
