Just stopping in to check on the group, nice to see Matt is still active and has kept it going. Lots of new faces and still some of the old faces. Didn't have time to go through many of the threads today, but hopefully will be back to check in and see who is still around from the old group.
So to those who think I disappeared from the face of the earth, I kind of did, but I'm kind of back.
Not likely, that I'll be running anymore HMs, due to some health issues, I'm a far cry from where I was a few years ago. I have decided though to at least get back out on the pathways, enjoy the weather, scenary, clear the mind and put one foot in front of the other for as long as I can. It's really deflating to the ego running 26, 27 min 5Ks, considering just a couple of years ago I broke 21 mins.
I have two simple goals this year,
1. Keep running
2. Run a 5K road race (I haven't raced now in several years)

Have no particular 5K in mind at the moment, just taking things one run at a time. Will see how I hold up. I'm hoping that mind over matter is stronger than the rest and I'm going to do this one day at a time.

Larry -- keep in mind the great advice Long Run Nick keeps throwing out there....'Start slow and back it down from there', it's the long haul that matters, not the next race.
Did an angel whisper in your ear and hold you close and take away your fear...In those long last moments
