Similar to yesterday's topic onetomys struggle I can relate to that I went for a walk in the park yesterday and noticed a 5k run for today Runnings not really my thing though it was back in the late 60 s So I thought I'd give it a go today It was tough doesn't sound much compared to 10ks and marathons but certainly was a chalange to me but I enjoyed it had to walk a couple of times but got round in just under 30 mins 4 days before my 59th birthday must be the longest run for me for 48 years LoL

Today is a rest day for me.

The wife and I have been on our clean diet for 4 weeks now. I have been super strict with it and so far I'm down 10 lbs and one pant size. My chronic pains that Ive had forever are gone and my mind is a lot clearer.

Can't wait to see what another month does.

It's been 5 weeks since my wife had her stem cell injections and the results so far have been great. She has a way to go yet but compared to were she was at it's been a miracle.

Great job on the run, Rivalino!! I hope I can do the same when I'm 59!!!

Great news about your wife, Mando!

I ran for 55 minutes this morning...I'm thinking 6.5-ish miles! Another beauty of a day here! Thankful for the sunshine!

Yes, nice to be running like that as you cruise into your 59th year. And glad to hear about your wife Mando.

BTW, Mando, what specifically is the "clean diet"?

I'm going up to the stable to ride my other horse "Doc". It's raining, but neither of us will melt.

Veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds, whole grains (sparingly), beans, olive oil and very little meat. No processed food other than some canned tomatoes that have nothing added. No sugar. Needless to say we are not eating out much and when we do it's usually a salad bar.

Good Job Rivalino!

That sounds awesome Mando!

Couldn't stand it. Mowed the lawn and had so much energy left that I did a heavy (for me) dumbbells workout and a bunch of push ups.

Rivalino, my reply to your post disappeared. I'll try again. That's awesome that you could do that. No sense stopping now. Keep at it. Just because we get old doesn't mean we have to act it. I'll be 63 in Dec.
and I'm going down fighting.

You guys are great! Rivolino -- that is an awesome run. Hope you aren't too sore tomorrow.
Mando -- I am so happy to hear about your wife's improvement. And good for you for the diet -- that sounds tough!

I went to yoga -- so challenging even when I go every day. I
