Ran this morning before writing. And the running has been a struggle since the letdown of not going to Nationals – remember the double inguinal hernia repair two weeks before the meet back in July?
As we seek motivation, we can strive for simplicity and effectiveness. Nationals is the only meet I plan to run and set a goal for. One year, one race. It’s enough.
One year, no race.
No worries.
Twice this week did two 800’s at 3:20 pace, with a five-minute rest in between. This was a post surgery ability stretch. An hour ago I decided to do a mile time trial and shot for 6:40, which is back-to-back 3:20’s (with no rest in between).
The time above shows the results. Motivation is like a fire and we must constantly add fuel to it.
You get this, right?

A comeback began nearly three years ago – the day I returned from a big track meet. Simply being in Finland was in and of itself a major life accomplishment. Is it possible to get better with age? And four days ago, ran a mile in 5:46.

How fast can you run, say, a mile? First, I’m betting no one here has a clue how fast they can run a mile. Second, I’m still thrilled you’re here though. Because this is a community of aging mid lifers (and some outliers…cool!), just trying to make sense of what wellness and work life balance means and how to get there and stay there…

In the category of “who gives a crap”, this is definitely a contender. I ran a 6:23 mile last week. Slow and steady wins the race. Are you progressing slowly and steadily in pursuit of your health goals? There’s a reason you’re hearing about the mile time.
