Living the Dream… At the age of 70…I finished the Portland 1/2 and it was awesome… why I love it…because I can do it and I am not completing with anyone but me. We can be all we can be if we just do it…👨🏻‍🚒Ernie Misewicz
I love Olympic Recurve Archery, it keeps me mentally focused, involved with other archers, and physically fit.
I'm 75 and still managing to get off the ground (a little!), thanks to weekly workouts and Senior Olympics!
Taking home a little hardware from our Michigan senior games in track and field! During training months, there is no better feeling than getting up early, walking with my daughter then doing my workouts and being able to say, I have my workouts done before 8:30! Now bring on the day! I do post about my journey because I run for those that can’t. I try to take them along with me on my journey to be an athlete in my 70’s. I hope I can inspire seniors to stay active, keep moving and have fun!

I have fully recovered from my life-threatening heart disease of amyloidosis following my two years of successful chemotherapy treatments recently. Now, at 73, I am very active especially during summers in the Chicago area playing tennis, baseball, basketball and golf along with swimming in outdoor pools and at the beaches on Lake Michigan. I recently won the most points in a United States Tennis Association (USTA) all-ages, fun "pop-up" event at Gallagher Way, next to the Cubs' iconic Wrigley Field, and my "trophy" was not a gold medal but, instead, the attached photo showing me as the "biggest" tennis player in Chicago, as seen with the Gargantuan oversized tennis racquet and oversized tennis ball. A good time was had by all of the players in this city-wide activity.
I'm a bowler, have been. bowling for 60+ years. This is a picture of me and my grandson's girlfriend when we won a tournament this past weekend.

We enjoy soooooo many things. 2 of our favorites are traveling and running. We usually combine our vacations with a foot race, or maybe cycling or other form of ,sometimes extreme, exercise. This photo is my wife, Deb, 68, and me,75, taking a photo op in the “tree tunnel “ at the Kauai, Hawaii marathon & half. Deb ran the half and was 2 of 33 in her age group. I was the oldest participant in the full marathon and was the fastest in my age group and the next younger age group.
I am 76 and I love to exercise, mostly strength training 💪 I also love to golf, toss horseshoes, and bowl.

Proud & happy dad in the middle (guitars, keys, mando, lead & harmony vocals). This is us taking a breather before showtime at a local St. Louis winery. My 64th birthday is just a few weeks away!

I love playing tennis and then off for 9 holes of golf. Oh and I’m 71🎾🏌️‍♀️🎉
I began painting in 2019 at the age of 60 and I haven't looked back. While I enjoy creating, I especially enjoy helping others discover the healing properties of making art. I'm studying for an art therapy facilitator certification. I'm a screenwriter by profession, but an artist by passion.
I enjoy filling my patio planters full of colorful plants and sitting back watching the bees sip nectar and observing other wildlife. I'm 71.
Hiking makes me happy.
