it's time to start exercising

Lately I've been thinking that I really should start some regular exercise routine.  I had been walking but since school started I'm spending a lot of time driving to pick my grandkids up after school. This gets me out of my apartment and it's fun but it's definitely not exercise. Friends have suggested I should try Pilates, or Yoga or 3B. That last is an exercise group that meets at our church. Anyway, I haven't decided on what to do but after what I saw on TV this evening I think I must do something.
There was a news report about a 93 year old man who just finished running (it looked more like a fast walk but who am I to criticize?) across the United States. He ran five miles each day and it took him three years to do it but he did run from California to Florida.  He was running in honor of other WWII veterans.  
But hey, here's a happy thought. I just realized that if I want to emulate this old veteran I have 22 years to get in shape. Maybe I won't rush into this exercise thing.
