Ray Moose, We all have a point beyond which our bodies cannot perform, and your point is far beyond mine. I struggle to run 20 mpw without injury. So I have no sympathy! But seriously, I suggest you enjoy the high level at which you are currently able to perform, and recognize that you like every other runner exists on a continuum of talent and durability. There are some runners at a higher level, but not many; there are a great many runners--practically everyone--at lower levels. Dark Horse

Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions. A guy from work came by today to congratulate me on being second Masters at Phily. I told him I was actually 3rd - cause that's what Marathon Guide had me listed, but as it turns out the 2nd place guy actually ran over 6 hours and must have screwed up the timing somehow. So I was second AG and second Master... Sounds better than 3rd - Philly doesn't give money past first master and only real cheap plaques for the AG awards - all in all, I'd rather get some pie, turkey or socks. Ray
