Wow, Fred's here...hi Fred.<br><br>
Did 4.3 in 48, a couple of 12 m/m and a couple of 11 m/m.<br><br>
I was going to do a half this weekend, but bagged it. I am just not ready. Might look around for one the beginning of Nov. I will see how I feel after my next long run.<br><br>
Hope you stick around here Fred, we will keep you warm on a cold winters night...<br><br>

Just got in this morning Fred. Was in Michigan and Mass. this week. Ran only one day the whole time I was gone. So disappointing, but it was an important trip.<br><br>
Entertaining a gorgeous runner from Alaska tonight at dinner and taking her to the airport in the morning. Will run tomorrow. Spareribs

Hello everyone!<br>
I would like to introduce myself as this is my first post on "Kick".<br>
I already recognise some of your names from another forum, quite some time ago.....Fred has suggested moving here with a small group, so here I am.<br><br>
Like Fred, I am Canadian, though until the age of 20 I lived mostly in Africa. I am now 58, with only 3 years running experience, trying to run some decent (relative term!) times before it's too late to do so.<br>
Look forward to getting to know you all.<br>
Simon.

Glad to see this thread on Kick (I'm also Canadian although I've lived in the states for almost 50 years). Since I turned 75 I notice that the competition in the longer races (>10K) is pretty sparse. It's nice to be 1/2/or 1/1 but I'm getting lonely at the top. There's still some fast runners in the shorter distances.

It's been awhile. Missed youse guys.<br><br>
Tuesday - Hockey night! I smashed by head, banged my elbow and hurt my back. Typical hockey night, nothing unusual.<br><br>
Wed - 2 x 800m, with 200 rest, 2 x 1200m, 400 rest, 2 x 400m, 200 rest, 2 x 200m, 200 rest.<br><br>
Thu - 4.3 miles.<br><br>
I'll be training for the Masters Indoor T&F Championships in March, I think.

Just dropping by to say hello and maybe have a virtual slice of that pie.<br>
Oh, and to congratulate KS on a great run. Well done sir.<br>
Also Ribs, who has been winning AG awards right and left, in case I missed the last one, so a hearty congrats to you also.<br><br>
Gotta run now <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Smile">

Good Lord preserve us, it's the invasion of the Grumpy Old Men.<br><br>
(It's mighty nice to see you over here)

Fred- I hope you left a forwarding address at cool running.<br>
Sierra- you coming?<br><br>
1.25 miles this afternoon. Still a bit sore. There is a long steep screaming downhill within a few miles of the finish.

Not feeling confident about this tenK I am running tomorrow as I haven't run since Monday. But I did go out and loosen up with just one mile on the indoor track in 8:10, then did my full flex workout, so at least I will be loose. This will be a hilly course and I am looking forward to the work, after having a lazy week. Spareribs

I'm not a guy, but I guess I'm old.<br><br>
10 easy miles today.<br>
20 on tap for tomorrow. That will be the last long run before NYC.<br><br>
I've enjoyed being 50 since my rankings in local races went up from 10-12th to 2-3rd. We'll see how many fast 49 yos there will be joining the group soon.

Got a nice 10 miler in this a.m. wanted to do it in 2 hours, did it in 2 hours. Beautiful morning out there today...ran with no music, but brought Mr. Garmie along for the ride.<br><br><span style="font-family:Calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">Splits:</span></span></span></span> <span style="font-family:Arial;">12:25, 12:14, 12:12, 11:40, 12:27, 11:31, 11:24, 12:22, 12:07, 11:49.</span><br><br>
I turned 54 today and I can't think of a better way to spend my first day as a 54 y.o. then running 10 miles. <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.kickrunners.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="Very Happy">
