Running race 1:03:32 [4] 3.1 mi (20:30 / mi) +5m 20:24 / mi
shoes: New Balance RC1001 Flats
Randy Walker 5k, Evanston. Ran again with Kielo. For some reason they shortened this race by a mile this year...was a 4.1 mile race up until last year, which I liked better. Could have compared times.
So looking at the 4th of July 4-miler times, which I've run many times, I see a depressing decline which I can only attribute to advancing age:
2015...age 74....58:48
2016...age 75....63:35
2017...age 76....70:28
2018...age 77....76:41
2019...age 78....82:33
The one encouraging factor: altho my times were faster when I was younger, I was finishing further back in my age group. As I've aged and moved into higher age groups, the size of my age group has declined. So even tho I'm DFL, by default I'm in higher and higher place. Sixth Place today for instance!
