I ran a marathon the year I turned 67 - don’t tell anyone it took me 7 hours doing walk-run intervals - but I finished it! I had not been a runner but started training in June and did the marathon in January. Two bad knees but I always feel good after a run, even if it’s only just a mile.
Keep moving!
