Today's race went really well for me, considering the terrible CT weather, freezeing cold & raining I did my 5K in 28 minutes flat, I was pleasently surprised with that time.Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272074475828077720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-28407884082173140922009-10-24T22:46:09.951-05:002009-10-24T22:46:09.951-05:00Maybe he started to run faster because he didn'...Maybe he started to run faster because he didn't wanna be chicked. But in the end, he got chicked anyway. And yes, some older folks can be rather speedy. You can tell they've been running for years and their legs often look younger than their face.Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588595816491102595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-30884749836070107692009-10-24T22:27:59.602-05:002009-10-24T22:27:59.602-05:00it's great that you used the 'old' man...it's great that you used the 'old' man as a motivator. there is this guy - 80 years old - 452 marathons under his belt and he is at most of the runs that I go to - for me, as long as I finish in front of him I am happy =). But really I look for him every time because I am happy to see he is so happy still running!<br />It really is amazing all of the different types of people that running brings together. <br />How about looking for a run that lets you push a jogging stroller? Or even a diaper dash that gets both you and Norah out there =). Keep on running and sign up for something!!!!jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171281143980643800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13849002.post-156402455813853272009-10-24T21:40:16.291-05:002009-10-24T21:40:16.291-05:00Funny post!
