I will see you at the Big Sur beer gardens!<br /><br />Andy B - No worries about me competing for points this year. Thanks to the USATF rule, I get to be graded as a 30-39 year old for the remainder of the season. But I'll getcha next year!<br /><br />Runalex - I'm with you on the recovery. This season I went harder on hard days, slower on easy days, and many more forced rest days. It definitely works. <br /><br />SDScott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-90795288402864619012009-04-17T11:44:00.000-07:002009-04-17T11:44:00.000-07:00I agree with Stuart, awfully competitive up here i...I agree with Stuart, awfully competitive up here in the 40's.

Roaring into these 40's is the way to do it.<br /><br />I turned 40 in January and thought about it for 5 minutes. I race several times a month and routinely finish ahead of younger runners, so it really boils down to what you decide to do with that body of yours. I will say, though, don't ignore biology and work in some serious rest/recovery days.<br /><br />Hope to meet you at a race someday. I read all your posts (including the one regarding Eugene where I'll be running in 2 weeks).Alexander Sebastianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792968317304338833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-74653794925797052152009-04-16T19:26:00.000-07:002009-04-16T19:26:00.000-07:00Glad to see trail running is keeping you in line ...Glad to see trail running is keeping you in line and off the streets (literally) ;-)<br /><br />Have fun in all the upcoming races!Peter Lubbershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09879965812417533648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-71300600676789140612009-04-16T18:05:00.000-07:002009-04-16T18:05:00.000-07:00Well, at least I don't have to compete with you at...Well, at least I don't have to compete with you at RA for points...but at Miwok!?!
