Four Austin-area guys in their 60s-plus, gather each week to run or hike together. They are all formidable runners but at this age, injuries can hinder their efforts. Still, they take it in stride (pardon the pun) and say they have no interest in ever "retiring" from the sport they love. Younger folks may want to heed their message as runners of any age look to the future.
