| ebuckley: | You're only 2 minutes off your PR at 61? Damn, I'm already that far off. |

| PG: | Yes, but if I understand things correctly, you're currently carrying about 8 extra 5-pound bags of sugar. |

| PBricker: | And you did this with nobody watching! At 52, I'm probably currently about 4 minutes off my PR (17:10). Well, you've given me something to shoot for. And the local 5k race season is only month away. |

| Cristina: | No kidding, that's impressive. Now I have two Peter benchmarks to shoot for - still chasing the G, now I can chase his 5km time, too. |

| ebuckley: | 3 bags as of this morning - I'm back to the low end of my winter range. Hope to be at the high end of competition range (2 bags) by mid-April. Don't think it would be possible to go below 1 bag without quitting my job and taking up full time training again. |

| zerfas: | If you were in a race the time probably would have been at least 30 seconds faster! |

| PG: | Eric, didn't you say you used to bike race at about 150 pounds? Though maybe that was in an other lifetime. |

| ebuckley: | You certainly didn't hear that from me (good to see that you're showing some symptoms of age). My low was 168, but my best results were at 172. Actually, the 5K time was in undergrad, so I was probably around 185 because I was still playing hockey. |

| ebuckley: | I'd agree that 15 pounds is probably worth close to 30 seconds in a 5K. Of course, my PR for that distance is pretty comical. I did what any self-respecting bike racer would do: bolted myself to the leaders and hung on for dear life. I was thinking "geez this is fast - I don't think I've ever run this fast" when we went through the first mile and heard the guy call out 4:52. That's still my mile PR as well. The race got really unpleasant shortly after that, but I did manage to hang on for 16:41. I did a lot of running in my 20's but entered very few races, so most of my PR's are from my late 30's and I'm pretty close to them. |
