PB @ Peterborough

Age. Ken Norton famous Boxer & Mick Jagger have said along with many others that you are is old as you want to be. May 2001 I ran my first & fastest half marathon in Burlington, On. a time of 1:32:52 at the age of 39. I had almost convinced myself that i would never duplicate that again or better it after many attempts.
Last sunday in Peterborough i did it. I ran a 1:32:13 in less than ideal conditions.
Although cliche, never quit, you can do it if you want it bad enough. This race has restore my faith in this cliche. So what's next? Sub 3 of course.

Two points of interest for today. Want to improve your swimming technique check out JimmyD Shea on youtube. I found it to a great ; no matter what specific stroke you want to hone in on. Check out the butterfly stroke first. He seems like a cool dude!
Second, just finished a book "The Boston Marathon" written in 1979. Supposedly, and I may try this, in hot weather when the sweat/salt runs off your forehead into your eyes, some seasoned runners will apply vaseline to their eyebrows. Apparently the perspiration runs off the vaeline down the side of your face & not into your eyes.
