Hello, and welcome to my blog about running and life over 50. 

If we haven’t met or you’re new to the blog, I’m Neil, and this blog is where I share my journey to become an ultra runner over the age of 50 and some of the things I’m learning about running and life along the way. 

I turned 50 a couple of years ago, but only recently did I rediscover and rekindle the love and passion for running that I had in my twenties and thirties. 

For me, turning 50 seemed like a significant milestone and an opportunity to reevaluate my life. 

I really enjoyed running when I was younger, so I decided to pick it up again recently.

Like riding a bicycle, it all started to come back!

All the great memories I had of running over 10, 20, and 30 years ago filled me with a sense of nostalgia and inspiration.

The races, the trails, the long runs, and all the people I’ve run with over the years filled me with gratitude and motivation.  

Running, just like life, feels different in my 50s. 

I’m excited to rediscover the joy of running that I once held so deeply.

If you’re a runner, a 50-something, or just looking for a little life inspiration, then I invite you to join me here. 

I’m here to cheer you on because encouragement is good for everyone!

I’m here to encourage you to live boldly in the second half of life and explore new possibilities and experiences. 

I’m here to help you rediscover the love or passion you’ve long since let go of and explore new possibilities.

Dream big, run far, they’re free! ~ Neil
