Who is Del Moon?
PR guy and feature writer. Event road warrior. Former print and broadcast arts and entertainment journalist. Father and husband. Cancer survivor. LSU Tiger. Food lover. Pun generator. And now accidental senior athlete. Del followed his father’s advice to “be a generalist. Learn a little about everything and you will be able to do almost anything.” There was method in the madness of a crazy quilt career dotted with soaring successes and spectacular crashes, and he’s still walking. All of these experiences have contributed to his mission-driven work with the National Senior Games Association since 2013.

Gone, But Never Forgotten

Monday, 07 October 2019 by Del Moon

Followers of this blog will be aware that I have dedicated my efforts to Eric Todd , one of the journalism interns from the U of Minnesota who performed well for our media center operations during the 2015 National Senior Games held in the Twin Cities. Eric posted early this year that he had stage

Walking in the Light

Tuesday, 01 October 2019 by Del Moon

My new power walking “career” continued in October with a visit to the Huntsman World Senior Games, a huge event in St. George, Utah that draws domestic and international athletes and serves as that state’s qualifying event for the National Senior Games. Once again, I had an other-worldly experience that left me speechless – and

Winning for TeamEric: The Race Within the Race Within the Race

Thursday, 11 July 2019 by Del Moon

“Where to start?”  Those were my first words when I began this blog last year, and so much has transpired that I am again confounded with how to properly convey my experience and emotions on race day. But it seems appropriate to frame my experience with the 2019 National Senior Games presented by Humana (and

Moon Walker Meets Acoma Race Walker

Friday, 03 May 2019 by Del Moon

Last week I fly-walked out to Albuquerque to participate in a press conference hosted by Mayor Tim Keller to announce that the 2019 National Senior Games had smashed the previous all-time record for athletes. 13,712 is a crazy number, a full 30% above 2017 and 14% over our previous high. For once, everyone around me

Holy Power Walk, Batman!

Monday, 25 March 2019 by Del Moon

Well, I’ve navigated my two tune-up races before the National Senior Games in June and have once again proven I can’t do anything normally.  Something weird usually happens wherever I go. While I confess a lot of times the weirdness is instigated by me, serendipity often visits with a smile. To the point, in my

Power Walk 101

Friday, 15 February 2019 by Del Moon

I’ve cruised this far with my blog without actually offering readers background on what power walk is, and just as importantly, what it is not. The confusion is understandable because there have been no formal rules or guidance on having power walk competitions. Several NSGA state qualifying games have held fast walk or power walk

Deeper Dedication – Hand Me Down My Walking Shoes

Monday, 21 January 2019 by Del Moon

We interrupt our regularly scheduled blog subject for the following Special Report: This blog entry is a bit more serious, but that won’t keep me from having some fun. When I got past cancer in 2005, I came up with my own humorous expression about how to live in the light: “Life is too serious

Great News – And a Reality Check

Tuesday, 15 January 2019 by Del Moon

Hello, friends. I wanted to blog at least once per month, but the holidays always mess with people’s regular schedules and plans, and I was not immune to the season. I’m sure you couldn’t live without me. (OK, maybe it’s just me that can’t live without me!) The Great News part is that I have

“Hey, Eight Eyes!!”

Wednesday, 28 November 2018 by Del Moon

It’s time to do some ‘splaining about why I let myself become overweight and sedentary. In a way, I didn’t have the vision to avoid it. The reason I never got into sports is a medical one; the reason why I never got into regular exercise is environmental and experiential. This blog takes a bit

Setback (Literally)

Monday, 08 October 2018 by Del Moon

TWEAK! Uh Oh… I knew the road might not be straight in this endeavor. Out of the blue, without any clear cause, a sharp back pain manifested in the middle of my spine. I could sit and stand without much discomfort, but when laying down the spasms would come with one wrong move. Tweak! Then,
