Just go easy on yourself getting back into it.

"Use all of you well learned polite-ness...or we'll lay you down to rest" Woo-woo..all-right Now I have to go play all my Stones albums...and I think I have ALL of them! Welcome and now you are making me want to run faster. You're going to do just fine here! I'm in my 40's about to turn 50 and I am starting to get faster....and I am definitely more patient with myself than when I was 20 something

Run like you are on fire! 5K goal 24:00 or less (PR 24:34) 10K goal 50:00 or less (PR 52:45) HM goal 1:55:00 or less (PR 2:03:02) Marathon Goal...Less than my PR (PR 4:33:23)

I was never a track star, but I could run a sub-6:00 pretty easily back when I was a kid.

You can still run sub-6:00: just don't tell anyone what distance you'll be attempting to run in that 6 minutes.

It's going to be fun to watch you.

I think you've got some stalker in you, JK?

We are talking about the 100 yard dash, right?
