I have not run competitively for almost a decade now. I went 8 years without taking a step (except for chasing down cabs) and then attempted to start running last summer. That attempt was a dismal failure when I couldn't make it through a 15 min run without my shins locking up. I also got a knee injury during the process since clearly 10 minutes on a track is "too much, too soon".
I didn't start running with any thought of running a race again. I was just thinking it was a great way to lose weight since I weighted 202 and was in danger of needing to buy new suits.
Now that I am finally able to run 20 miles a week, I've gotten curious. How fast can I run now on 30 miles a week training? Could I compete in my age group for awards? Marshall Smith won his age group in a race this summer and got a pair of socks. I WANT SOCKS TOO! Is that too lofty of a goal for someone with dusty spikes? This could be interesting.
