I won this e mail from a reader named Linda, and I believed it used to be amazing–I simply needed to proportion it! (With permission, after all.)

Katie, I’m a very long time reader of your weblog, since about 2011. Needed to display you this pic of my husband, Kirby, who simply finished his 40,000th mile of working/strolling nowadays.

He started working in 1976. He is run 4 marathons, race-walked in a single marathon and one half-marathon. He does not compete anymore, however at age 75 he does nonetheless stroll 6-8 miles 3 days per week, then an extended stroll of 8-10 miles on Saturdays. We are living in Louisiana the place it will get miserably sizzling in the summertime & he nonetheless walks!

This makes me so happy–it strikes a chord in my memory of Floyd, the person that I have noticed strolling whilst I am out working from time to time; he walks each and every unmarried day, and he at all times has a sort greeting for me! A HUGE congrats to Kirby–that’s such an awesome accomplishment and that smile says all of it 🙂
