Still Running In Ukraine. Swimming at 72. What's Left In 2023

September 30, 2023
Stories that will interest Geezer Jocks.

 

1.  My Friend Nikolay Running In War Zone

When he is not supporting war effort in Ukraine, Nikolay runs..and runs..on the trails around Lviv, Ukraine. I had to link to his Facebook account to show the "fruits" of his labor and the inhabitants of his forest. Click through the pictures to see end result.

2. One Woman's Joy Of Swimming, Starting At 72.

"When I get in the water I feel so free." This story ran in The Wall Street Journal a  year ago, but it is worth reheating as we get chased to indoor pools by the chilly weather. It is a theme we bring up over and over: it's never too late.

3. State Senior Games: What's left in 2023

The biggest service Geezer Jock can provide is a list of state senior games for people to participate in.

Here it is. Other states routinely accept snowbirds and other bag-carrying athletes from out-of-state. There are not many events remaining, but there a few, including The Huntsman Games in Utah, which start October 9.

The parade of athletes at the European Masters in Pescara, Italy. Impressive.
