On the road again...
Quiet in here, y'all.
A little over 5 and a half today. Hope everyone's doing well.
I write. I read. I run. One time, I ran a lot on my 50th birthday.

I was out in that weather, Mike, and it was an awesome morning. Ran for 2 hours, ended up with 12.7 miles. Avg pace was the same as my pace when I PR'ed my HM in '08, but now that pace is easy. HR is a good 20 bpm lower now than it was then.
Nice to see all this work paying some dividends. Still a long way to go, but I'm having fun.
Good job Lynwood! I'll bet it was even windier for your race than mine.
I ran the Resolution Run Half Marathon. Won my age group in 1:45:46... but there were only 2 people in the age group! As usual I overdressed (3 layers) and wished I had worn just 2 layers. The worst part was I wore my heavy gloves and didn't want to throw them away so I carried them for about 10 miles.

Lynwwood .. way to hang tuff. Richard.. good finish.. i di the exact opposite on my long run today.. we did 4 early the looped back to car where i thought i had warned up as i was sweating so i tore off EVERYTHING except my shorts and singlet for the next 15 miles i froze but good run and good company
Very nice Richard. Have you run out of room for your awards? Great job.
I went back to see how I faired in my age group. 6/10, middle of the pack. The winners were 1:30, 1:33 and 1:34. Must be the same three that ran last year.
