@Limewave, I'll just pretend that if I'd started running when I was your age, I could've been that fast.

Not.

On the plus side ...

they were kicking off Columbus Oktoberfest with a four-mile race and I figured what the heck, I had a tempo run on tap, and since I hadn't raced since the end of January, it would be a good tune-up for the half marathon on the 17th. Not a goal race, pre-race "nutrition" was a joke, all kinds of sore from the strength class I taught yesterday. Won my AG with a 31:54 . One of these days I suppose I'm going to need to start thinking of myself as a runner.
