I would be remiss if I didn’t post a link to this story in the New York Times that is probably the most publicity joggling has gotten in a number of years. It’s a story about Jack Hirschowitz who will be joggling the New York marathon at the ripe old age of 67. He will be the oldest person ever to joggle a complete marathon.
Good luck Jack!

Nice article! Well written and good material.
Hi Perry! Thank you for posting the link and for your good wishes. As you know the marathon was cancelled. Well, there was a grass roots movement to run an “unofficial” New York Marathon in Central Park yesterday and thousands of runners showed up wearing their official t shirt. I joggled a marathon and ran with my son in law. My unofficial time was 4:38 (which is my best time so far). It was a great day and almost more fun than the marathon itself. I am signed up to run the Jacksonville marathon (after the 9 hills yesterday I am looking forward to no hills). It will take place on the 16th of December and my goal is to be under 4:30
Once again thank you for your interest and thank you for a great website and blog!
Great job Jack! Hopefully you’ll get to do the official marathon next year. Good luck in Jacksonville!
