Attitude, attitude ...

I am finding it difficult right now to keep to the daily regularity of my running. If I want to pursue my goal of running until I'm 90, however ... and I do ... then I know that I need to keep after it. (My kids are amused by my self-proclaimed goal of running 4 miles on my 90th birthday, March 17, 2047. But I believe it is doable, so long as I am willing to settle for slow running. I know that I have good genes, with grandmothers that lived to 102 and 93, and a still-spry and active mother at age 87.) Much of the difficulty of it is the mental comparison to what I could do as a younger man. But I just need to set that aside, and be willing to go out now and do what I can do at this point.
