8 miles is super impressive!  

Thanks! It definitely wasn't fast, but a great trail and super view  

I have attempted sprinting here and there. I appreciate the power that it requires to initiate a burst of speed from a virtual standstill. But at almost 50-years old, speed is not sustainable, in a sprint or otherwise! 😅 Steady as she goes, then. 

Agreed! Moving forward is the goal. I'm 50, and I stopped running for time long ago. Being outside is the primary goal. 

Ah, yes. Same. In fact, in 4–5 years I will head a bit farther south for cheaper living and better weather. In my mind I've gone to Carolina.. lol 

look good  

8 miles? Great! I wish my body enjoyed running. I’m a walker. Lots of walking. lol Your meal looks delicious!  

Thank you! 

Yum! 

I would like to start running at some point. I struggle with anything that requires a high aerobic capacity, although I can cross country ski for hours, pacing myself. Taking up light jogging after I retire in February is one of the things I'd like to do. It would be an exaggeration to call what I do "running". Definitely won't be doing it for time! 😂
