19th anniversary

...............................

Happy 19th! Now put the time that thing has been ticking into minutes and seconds, then sit back and marvel at it all.

THAT is better than a Timex or Rolex or ..........

Quite an impressive resume for a valve. Happy anniversary - keep 'em coming.

Ran another 5k today, 2nd place 60-69 AG. Times are beginning to come down. 29:11, 9:23 avg, today vs 29:22 two weeks ago, but I felt I could have done better. The first mile marker was missing so I had no feedback until mile 2 which was 19:04, 9:32 avg to that point and then was able to pick it up to a 9:12 pace in the final 1.1. I used to be very good at even pacing. It's a tough thing to get right, so I'll keep on trying.

Jack, I know you are old school, but you need a Garmin, even in a race.....it gives you instant feedback on your pace...

Wouldn't that cost real money or something?

 

[Protimenow]

That Garmin would add so much weight (a few ounces) that his time for a 5k would be a second or two longer.

You have no idea how alone I felt in the early years and yet I persisted. Just damn stubborn I guess.

Thanks for being stubborn so you could be an inspiration and role model for many! :thumbup:

Notice how I waited until the end to sneak it in. I thought it would have a greater impact after all the background info.

Ran a good 5K this morning, 28:52 (9:19 per mile) which was about 20 seconds faster than the last one a couple weeks ago. Actually better than that since I lost a lot of time in the crowd at the start of this one. It's still a minute slower than last year at this time but my times are improving with each race. Success feels great, but then you all already knew that, no?
