Darwin Peterson has weathered a few setbacks, but the rural Oelwein farmer continues to run some 15-20 miles a week for his health, and walks additionally, citing inspiration from family.
âI do my walk and steps every day, usually 7-10 miles a day to get my steps in,â said Peterson, age 68. âI usually run every other day to give my body a rest.â
He completed the âRun the Yearâ virtual fitness challenge this year, running 2,020 miles, and is pictured holding up the hardware from his success. The authors of the book âRunning the Edge,â Olympian Adam Goucher and educator Tim Catalano, issue the yearly challenge.
