    Happy New year back to you and all the other runners.

    And Merry eleventh day of Christmas!

    I'm still back at my slow 12 minute mile pace.

    Enjoy the run,
    Ed

    I’m still playing King Canute to the rising tide of my years. ;-) 66 now
    and have just entered my first ever track race (3000 metres). Probably
    gonna be hugely humiliating but at least I’ll have done it once in my life. Also got a 55 mile race in May. I think I’ve hated it every time I’ve done it but for some reason I’ve entered it again.

    Dang! This group is still here! I just got a random notification. I was active on here 2008 through 2012 IIRC aka "E2"

    This was me in my late 20's when I thought I was going to tear it up https://birthdayshoes.com/edward-edmond-s-minimalist-approach-to-marathon-training-utilizes-barefoot-running-and-racing-flats

    Now I'm turning 40 next week and have gray hair coming in my beard lmao, I was never able to go any faster then 2:30 in the marathon and eventually I stopped running for good.

    Happy New Years!

    Edward

    Hey, I only started running at 38. Don't give up dunning.
    Of course even then I never got close to 2:30 except in the HALF marathon ;^)

    GO out and enjoy another run.

    Way to go Tim! I'm only 2 years older but no where near your endurance level.

    Everyone, ENJOY the run.

    Track race was today. I ran 13:08 which I’m happy enough with. The first
    V65 ran 9:57, only a world record!

    Seems I need to train harder. ;-)
