running man, way to go! you've already overcome some major obstacles that would destroy a lesser man. you are putting om some good mileage & will just continue to get faster & lower your times. next step is to sign up for race, I bet you will be under 45 mins for a 5 miler! keep going, I would suggest you think about purchasing Jeff Galloways's book "running until your 100". At 53 I'm enjoying my 2nd life as a runner & will be doing a 5 mile "race" next weekend. not sure how will do, but doesn't matter much as it will be a new pr no matter how I do. keep it going, stay away from those injuries!

Almost guaranteed to be true -- cause the crowd and excitement pulls you along just a tad quicker.......You really ought to sign up for a local race -- 5K or 5 Mile.......

If we don’t try we’ll never know. At least I can find out how good I can be. I can have an answer at the end of the days, and have a hell of a good time with the process. -Desi Davila
