AM-Just an easy 4 miles this morning, I was hoping to jump into the Scarecrow 5k for fun but it appears that it does not exist anymore. Anyway I'll find somewhere interesting to run tomorrow. Maybe I'll go back out towards the airport where my Dad used to run and I carried water for him on the bike. I always wondered what my Dad could have run if he had trained like I did. He ran a 2:39 marathon on 40-50 miles a week with one 60 mile week for a peak! He just didn't have the time with all the responsibilities of work, family, etc. Thats why I think sometimes the achievements of the older runners and especially the masters category go relatively unheralded compared to the top finishers. I suppose it's natural though with our sports obsessed culture that this is the case. It's getting better however and thats why in a strange sort of way I look forward to becoming a master in a few years. On the other hand I hear the clock ticking also and so I try to make the best of every run, every race and every experience. You have to because you never know where the road of life may come to an end. Gotta run. PM- 4 miles easy jogging tonight. |
