PM: 6.5 miles at Sugar House Park. Not a very good run. I felt like a tired, slow, plodding old man.

I am guessing you weren't actually running like an old man even though it felt that way.
4 of my runs this week have been 9:45+ pace. And that's at 33! I also concur with Jon's comment about the many strong examples of master's runners on this blog. Gives me hope that I have (I hope) years of running ahead of me in whatever capacity that might look like. I always try to think of of what my minimum threshold for running is when I age and I think the answer is "getting out the door."
I just started following a guy on Strava who knocked out a 20 miler at 6:37 pace on his 57th birthday. Clearly the exception (he ran a 9:08 2-mile in high school), but it's pretty amazing to see what people are capable of.
I also found this fella's approach to life pretty great. It seems he wants to run, eat enough food, be mostly left alone, and have a few beers:
Keep it family-safe. No vulgar or profane language.
