Last Sunday was the Pasadena Half Marathon. Beautiful weather, 7000 runners and my under 2 hour streak on the line. So far, every race I have run, I have been blessed to finish under 2 hours....not a lot under 2, but under 2 none the less (1.54, 1.59, 1.57....you get the picture). Not bad for a 52 year old who started running in 2009. So I got the final number and, I made it by 84/100's. 1:59:16! And not too bad in my age category - 20th out of 76 50-54 year-olds. This is the 4th year the race has been held in Pasadena and I guess, it's the first year that there has been no RAIN! I wore my usual USC shirt, and only got one shout out for the Trojans! Then Kim reminded me that Pasadena is where the bruins play....really - how 'bout some love here!?
52 years old?? Sounds more like a 25 year-old's achievements to me! Hat's off to you, Mr. Partin!
