Oldest dude (63)
across the finish line at the Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, Half-Marathon, on Saturday,
Oct. 6, breaking the 2-hour barrier (just! 1:59:55, thanks to a final kick of
sorts), and not so worse for wear, leaving my return to Boston Marathon plans
intact, shooting for the 65-69 age category qualifying time, in fall 2020, of 4 hours, 5
minutes.
Slowing some,
granted, since I managed a personal best half-marathon of 1:43.12 in the 2011
Manhattan Half at Central Park, but I did manage to improve from last year at
the Bay Ridge Half, a 2:05.37, when it was especially hot and humid.
It sure feels nice
to be on the right side of 2 hours: 137th finisher of 361 runners!
Run for Your Life, all right! Still feeling I can reverse that age ...
