That meeting with the near-60 year old is highly encouraging though. When I look up marathon results, I always peer at the age categories just to remind myself that it's perfectly possible to run a 3:30 or even 3 hour marathon in your 50s and 60s. So many people manage it that it can't be just for the miraculous few.
Interesting you should say that. I imagine (I hope) that those super-fast age-category times are set by runners who have been running much longer than us Johnny-come-latelys and who set good times in their youth as well. Or maybe that's just hopeful thinking on my part.
Whatever, I'll just keep plugging away looking for a 'good run' and let the times look after themselves. That's the ticket, eh?
Training's fust in August.
