It doesn’t matter how old you are — if you run, you’re a runner

At 66, Karin Miller is not the runner she used to be. And she’s cool with that. She ran her very first race in her 20s, and through courses all over the country and the world, she has seen her gait slow, her body change, and evidence of age show up in aches and pains that can’t be wished away. This year has been particularly stressful, including a recent illness and dealing with a tree that fell on her house and “demolished the whole upstairs,” she said.
