I was the slowest runner in first grade--even the fat kid outran me in the 50 yard dash. Was I weird! Today? I'm 70, and I run. Yesterday I ran about 8 mile

Today? I'm 70, and I run. Yesterday I ran about 8 miles on trails. Because while I can't run fast, I can run far. Didn't find that out until like 8th grade--all the runs until then were short distances.
So I can run distances, but I'd probably still come in last at the 50 yard dash. Maybe I'm still weird, but I like it.
- shanecleveland 6y agoWow. What an inspiration! You raise a great example, as well. No one should be solely defined by their ability or inability to perform a single variation of a task or lesson.
- tomcam 6y ago10 years younger than you, can't run at all. Mad props, you beast.
