Life on The Run

Sunday, October 26, 2008

Just looking at results from the Marine Corp Marathon, Playing around a little, just wanted to see if there were any female finisher 75 and older and guess what there was one Lauren Edwards, 80F just amazing, net time of 3:26. Now that's a dream to keep dreaming.

I went out for a quick one today. Just a little over 4 miles and I felt labored. I saw Christine out about midway into my run, I removed my ear plug to say hello. Beautiful morning and took it for what it was, I was overdressed, I'm glad I got out.

Have a wonderful day.
