Old and slow

If you're a marathoner, especially if you're either "of a certain age" or a slower runner/walker, you'll probably relate to my posts. I've completed all the states, my total is over 80, and I've even collected a few age group awards along the way. But I'm always in the last 10% of finishers, thus my view is always from the back of the pack.

Space Coast Marathon, 11/27/2011

Whew! I ran very hard yesterday to try to break 5:30. I had two long potty stops the first half, and thought I couldn't possibly make up that much time, but I did my best the second half. I barely managed a 5:29:21. Yeah! It felt so good to reach that goal. The Space Coast course is usually fast for me, and I had run a 5:31 recently, so I had it in my head that I could break 5:30. (It does get harder each year.)

I'm looking forward to the Palm Beaches Marathon this coming Sunday, and will celebrate with two friends who will achieve milestones. Harry Hoffman will run his 200th, and Chuck Savage will run his 300th. Should be fun.
