I ran 4.2 miles this morning at a 6:55 pace.
Not too fast for most of you, but I haven't run sub-7:00 in years. I turn 40 in October. I guess I woke up having a mid-life crisis and had to see if I still had any gas in the tank. I grabbed my watch and ran for time (rare for me).
To tell the truth, it wasn't very difficult. I take it slower these days to avoid injury, but I could easily have done a 10 K at that pace. Maybe a sub-40 for my 40th birthday could still be possible.
Thanks for allowing me to brag.  |

Impresses the  outta me. In my world, sustained pace under 7:00 always sounds impressive. Nice job for an old guy.
And this forum is all about the bragging ... |

Everyone here can relate to reaching a running goal, no matter what it is. It's nice to hear others getting excited about what they do, and it's great to be able to share in that excitement.
