Good for you. Heck, I'd hate to run a 5k right now and I'm 35 and in decent shape! My joints just don't like turning in the miles. I will say that running can do a lot for you and can be done in many different ways. Even guys who lift weights and squat will be sore after throwing in a sprinting session every now and then. I nearly crippled myself last year when I ran a few dozen 50yarders after a warm-up. The next day was bad!
Now with even more aplomb

Congrats!!! And keep up the good work!
When I was about 42 I did a duathlon with the wife cold turkey. The first 5 K wasn't bad. The whatever bike ride maybe 12K or 20 K? Wasn't bad either. The last half of the last 5K run about did me in... but I survived. That was 6 years ago.
I need to get back into it all again seriously. But it seems like there just isn't time that I make to do it anymore. WHen I have all that needs to be done outside by dark done, I don't want to run and be wide awake till midnight then....
And unfortunately I'm not so much of a morning person...
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Good on ya Dogs...It takes a hell of a lot of determination to go after it at our age....and our size. My knees and lungs just won't let me anymore....
We eat organic in our house, we just have to shoot and gut it first.....

Congrats on the race! I've found that working for a race is a good motivator to keep going on the workouts. I've never really appeared "in shape". Funny (at least to me) story about the first sprint triathlon I did. We had to show up the night before to get our race packet/info. When I went to the table, the pretty, thin young lady proceeded to tell me that volunteers were to sign in at the table to the right! She was a bit embarrassed when I stated I was there to do the race not work it.
