Bet the other thing you can't fathom is how one can motivate oneself to go for a "rubbish" time 3.30 - 3.40 (Rubbish here means slower than my personal better times of yesteryear and not intended to apply to anyone else's goal.) I have had to invent things like "quicker than my 38 year old self" and "similar WAVA" etc. Getting old and slow is hard to take! G

All racing up to 13 miles and my training said this goal was EASY. While in no aerobic distress all the reasons doctors told me to stop surfaced and my long time retired body fell apart. I limped home in 3.11(my 2nd worst road mara). I had to make the finish to put something to bed. I hated it but finally understood why people totter on to the finishing line. I didn't want my last race to be a DNF. I realised if it was a few years would pass and I'd be dumb enough to try again. Age does indeed suck!!!
