I'm hoping that I'll be able to run long enough that someday when I'm in my 60s or 70s I have a shot at winning my age group - cause it sure isn't going to happen any time soon!IzzyBubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14913332040346444308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4387275476617323454.post-45672450898744341172010-02-11T10:16:07.584-05:002010-02-11T10:16:07.584-05:00Thanks for sticking with you?

In high school, I ran a mile in 4:38. If only I could do that again, or do a sub 5 mile how great that would be. Glad you drove that cold out the door. I would certainly celebrate with a nice run.
