For the start of my 20th year of retirement, I ran a 1/4 marathon today.

7 miles with my new pacemaker and despite my neuropathy. Heart feel great and my feet were just starting to burn.

I try and walk 6 miles most days. I’m 61 and can’t imagine running that far! Your accomplishment motivates me. Thank you!
