Knocked another 2 min off 10k PB! 45:55, 52M heading straight into half marathon block

Twenty five years ago I ran my first 10k in 48:00

Four months ago I ran my second 10k in 47:45.

Today I set a new PR in 45:55 (7:23 mi/min)!! The clock time is off because I ran a wrong turn and added 0.06 miles, but within the race I ran 10k in 45:55.

I'm aiming for a half in December, goal 1:45 and in best case scenario 1:40.

You're never too old for a PR!

What the Hills Reveal: I Trained Hard all Spring. The Hill did not Care.

At 63 years old, I’ve been running for years, mostly marathons. Yesterday I ran my first Ultra Marathon; a 60km. I’d tried before, but failed, this article is about that. I learned a very valuable lesson about the importance of doing hill work in preparation of running an ultra. Part 2 will come soon about how I responded to that failure and was successful.
