I started running at age 66. I set my personal best(4:42) when I ran my 1st marathon in Oct 2008 at age 68. Unfortunately, I reached the top of the bell curve at such a young age. At age 69 - 70, I ran 9 marathons and the closest finish time to my PB is 4:52. I am now fading, not fast but gently. Moving forward, I will add 5 minutes to my most recent finish time as a TARGET. When we reach a certain age ....... age do matter!
