I can only imagine how much faster they were when they were 20 years younger. <br /><br />I wish I could say I was taking it easy by doing a 4 hour marathon. I've only ran a 3:48 once, and all the other marathons I've done have been on trails. I might try a road marathon again to see if I can still get under 4 hours, I can't imagine going much faster over that distance, It's just the speed I run.<br /><br />So, tell me. Are there many more girls to look at when you run at that pace?<br /><br />I didn't even know you could show your average pace on my garmin. If I read the whole instruction manual, I'd be messing with that thing the whole time. The biggest benefit for wearing the gps for me, is that it makes me run a little bit harder and walk a little bit less, because its getting recorded. Its kind of like having a training partner (It has that feature too but I've yet to use it) Entering races has the same effect on me. <br /><br />I hope I can restrain myself at my next race enough to log a few miles the next day. OMG! I'm turning into a conservative old guy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
