Just stumbled upon this today.... I am about to turn 42, Just Celebrated my 1st Year anniversary running and am going to run/walk my way through my first HM this Saturday, September 20th, after a calf strain took me out of the competitive side of the race! Happy to be here among the Forty Somethings! Smile

I'm also 42. Just be aware that within "Masters Running", there's 50 somethings, 60s, 70s, and one dude who's 119. And the 50 somethings are mean SOBs. Except for a couple.

We're all happy to have you, and I hope you post often. Good luck in the upcoming race, and whether you walk, jog or run it, you are way ahead of the people who don't get out that day. Spareribs

Cheffy, we are always ready to welcome another runner to the group. Especially runners who post about running. Too many people here think this is a place to spout their political opinions, talk about baseball, their kids, their pets, their job, their favorite diner, etc. Dark Horse

I'm a dark horse, running on a dark race course.

I hope you weren't--i'd consider it a compliment Evil grin

Good luck in the upcoming half mary, especially if you are really joining the more and more of us exercisers who are finally figuring out it's okay to walk all or part of the way in our weekend events.

Hey what's up with that? Confused

On a more serious note - welcome to the group Cheffy. As Ribs said "Good luck in the upcoming race, and whether you walk, jog or run it, you are way ahead of the people who don't get out that day." Hey not only do we share a love for running but your "New Birthday" is my "original" birthday...COOL! Big grin

Post often and you'll get used to some of these clowns, I mean runners. Smile
