In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner.  I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled.   The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon.  6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Nice race today.   Didn't know how my body would respond to hard road racing after a 7 month lay-off from fast stuff.  Felt good.  Held back a bit at the beginning and was able to enjoy the last miles, do a few strong surges, and finish strong.  Nice course, lots of up and downs.

 Also did the 5K, 19:27  . 7th OA,  2nd in Age group.  Legs felt dead.   Had a guy sprint by me in the last stretch, letting out a woop, and shaking his finger at me.   My thought at that moment was "Oh , really.  that is so mature."  Here is a friendly neighborhood 5K and he's taunting me like he's just won the 100m gold medal.    He did have a nice kick.  I had to check to make sure he hadn't run the 10K and he didn't.    I may have to lose his entry the if he enters any of our races. :)    hopefully that made his day.

I have a ways to go to realistically think about that. If I can get under 18 min in 5K this fall, I have a shot. My endurance is fine. Speed is lacking.
