Fun and Fitness for the 40-Something

This quote from the most recent issue of Runner’s World really hits home and strikes me as very wise:

“When I was 37, I pulled a groin muscle, and I tried to run through it. A friend asked, ‘You have to decide: Are you going to run for the next two weeks or for the rest of your life?’ That’s been my philosophy ever since.”

—Richard Hillestad, 66, finisher of more than 75 marathons and ultras

Easier said than done, of course.
