1. I need to take it easy. I’m cutting back to 6 days a week.
2. Race starts at 8:00 a.m. !?!?!?? Why so late?
3. My running gear are my only clothes under 10 years old.
4. How come I can’t get a running shoe discount with my AARP card?
5. I ran horribly. I was 2 minutes off my PR…from 20 years ago.
6. I am out of shape. I ran a 20 miler the other day and needed a nap.
7. I was so glad I beat that kid in the race. He was only 40!
8. Do they make these tights with extra support?
9. I hate it when my shirt is older than the winner of the race.
10. I wear a Road ID for 2 reasons, if there is an accident and in case I forget who I am.
