Here, here. Welcome to RA, Mike. I think you'll like it here and, from what I've seen so far... fit right in! 
Just go easy on yourself getting back into it. |

Wow, and a massage was all you needed? Good luck and like all the others said don't try to build up too fast. |

You can still run sub-6:00: just don't tell anyone what distance you'll be attempting to run in that 6 minutes.
Quote from JakeKnight on 1/30/2008 at 9:24 PM: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?

Sure but I'm taking pills for that.
