Note

Although running is my worse endurance sport out of every one I have tried....and despite my diminishing capabilities due to age.....I still enjoy following a structure plan to reach a a stated goal.

Its interesting how getting older has caused me to slow, despite consistent training for the last 30 years. But you just do your best with what you got. I always wondered what a mediocre runner will be capable of as they age. I think I am finding that out one day at a time....
