Progress, even slowly, is still progress.
An official USA team top is required for all Team USA competitors. Ordered it yesterday at the request of the organizers.
Looking forward to getting back on the track (sidewalk) again tomorrow morning.

Saturday’s track meet had several firsts, including one that is significant:
No soreness and no pain from overdoing it.
Not that evening. Not yesterday. Not now.
This is huge.
Progress.
Wisdom.
PS. For a 56 year old to run a single event with a time like that could create some stiffness. To do both on the same day, almost guaranteed soreness.

You can make a lot of progress if you do this one thing:
Keep making slow and steady progress.
In yesterday’s 7-mile run, edit out the first slow warmup mile, and the last two slower cool down miles.
What’s in the middle is the real story. Four progressively faster miles.
And it is the last mile in the official workout (excluding warmup/cool down) that the real story comes alive.
Dropping a 6:23 on the final mile.
Wow.
A seriously delightful surprise.
Quite motivating.

The first sub-six minute mile of the year. A 5:58.
First 800 meters in 3:07, second 800 in 2:51.
Getting reacquainted with speed.
Speed feels like freedom.

Progress is simple. One foot in front of the other. Day after day.
Would be lying if the thought of another Track comeback in 2015 wasn’t a decently burning goal right now, December 17, 2014.
Will being retired and self-employed make it easier to train?
Just for the record, the past two year’s comeback attempts have been defeated due to injuries and competing priorities.
Maybe at the end of the day, the real blessing isn’t competition and results, but simply the drive to keep going year after year.
