      It is always a battle. I am reading (not drinking) Jack Daniel's Racing Formula. He made a statement about Olympians not being the best runners, but rather the best of the uninjured runners. Miss you Mark - the skiing last week was stellar.

      Whatever it takes to cope, right? I hope it helped. Oh, and I agree: Love it or leave it. It may not be perfect and we don't all always have to agree (and in fact, shouldn't), but we have it pretty darn good.

    good Spring Forward Trail 10K 10 km 00:56 09:03 pace

    Was told the 5K was 1st so left the corral for last minute relief. Got back and the 10K group was long gone. Actually fun catching up and being a passer instead of a passee for a change.

    alright Busse Woods Egg Shell 13.1 mi 02:00 09:09 pace

    9 min behind last year's time. I thought we're supposed to get faster with experience and age? Youth IS wasted on the young.

      Just catching up with you Mark. I realized I hadn't read a feed from you in awhile. All I can say - age happens. I watched my fabulously eager athletic canines lose stamina and speed as they aged. I hope to go out as ungracefully as possible.
