I went to the track for a bit. Ash came along on rollerblades, but the spongy track didn't work for her. I got in a 3:04 800 and a 4:48 1200 before we went home.
Actually, I dropped her off, and ran 5 more.
And got thinking about the hubris/feasibility of running a 2:55-2:59:xx marathon at age 43 or 44. I know thousands of guys that age and older run that pace all the time, but how many of them for the first time?
10k 4-5 time a week isn't going to cut it, though.
