It is certainly no wonder that Utah is one of the premiere destinations in the world for people who love the outdoors.
Utah is the place where many marathons take place ever year. Some of these Utah running races have been ranked as Runner's World 10 Most Scenic and Fastest Marathon and Top 20 Marathons in the USA. 
I’m 65,been walking 30 min/day,4-5 x/week,since Nov,on a treadmill, and recently started trying to run. I ran 5 reps, 2:30 min @ 6 mph, with 1 min walk breaks @4 mph, and since then,the bottom of my left calf-about 9 inches above the floor, has been very sore. It’s not a cramp. Should I continue to walk which makes it sore after a few minutes, or totally stay away from exercising it? How long do I not work out, before I start again?
