older

Good 15 miler at the lake this Saturday morning.  I made it to Buddy's house in 1:30 and texted Misty that I had arrived safely and that I was gonna hang with Buddy for a half hour or so.  She replied asking if I would be back in a certain time and I said no, that I would be much slower on the return.  Well, I lied.  My return was 5 minutes slower than the way out.  3:05 total run time with a total clock time of 3:42.  WOW!!  Did not expect that at all.  As I've grown older I feel slower and slower and less fluid in my running motion but it doesn't always translate to slower times.  As I got within a couple of miles of finishing Saturday I realized that this was going to be one of those deceivingly good days and that on some days I've still got it!!!
