Run up City Creek Canyon. A little colder than I expected, no gloves, so froze my hands. Kept the effort at light up and light down. Ran down with Dick and on his instruction I made him push his pace. He got down to around a 7:30 pace down the mountain, which is pretty dang good for a 72 year old.

I'd say that is great for a 72 year old!

Remember the gloves next time, brrrrr.....

Wow yeah that is a great pace for a older guy. Wouldnt guess he would be able to do that. Sure hope we are able to at that age.

Were you trying to kill him?

Huans - you've been 32 for a couple of years now.

This 72 year old, Dick Carling, has run over 125 marathons, has done Boston 30 something cosecutive times, and still pulls a sub 4 hr marathon every once in a while. After his daily runs he does 50, yes 50, consecutive pushups. Great friend and greater runner. It would be awesome to be that active and fit at 72.

Man alive, I can not even do 30 consecutive push ups! He is tough. I think that is so very cool. you tell him that all of us are so impressed with him. I would love to cheer him into a marathon, that is just super cool. The rest of us can only hope to be that fit!

Nice run Lyman! Your friend seems hardcore! I hope to be like him at his age.
