yesterday's lesson about speed

[KatzPajamas]

On the short incline up to the midpoint, I was passed by a woman probably 20 years or more my senior (so 70+), wearing (I am not making this up) a flowered dress and a straw hat, riding what I think was a 3-speed, and not sweating a bit.

I have a flowered dress and a straw hat...hope that can be me someday!

Old is anyone more than 20 years older than me... and the range keeps going up.

i can relate to the posts about going out farther than expected because you feel so strong, then you turn back, and Bam! reality check.

also, as to getting passed, i don't sweat that at all, because i know what happened: that they were behind me, then saw me and put the hammer down to pass me and then stay ahead all the while trying to look like its not hurting at all.

i know 'cause thats what i do!
