Run, sun, cool... old is good, considering..

I completed the Shamrock 5-K Shuffle yesterday, March 15, and took 33 minutes, sigh, to run the 3 miles. Ah, It really felt good; i did fast-walk three-four times,but it felt much better than that time, which was the same as my last year's first 5-k of the year. dang. Would I love to break into to 20's. Will do. My heel hurts some today, my legs a bit sore. I went by myself, as somebody. said ...."Well, I do... and I don't... want to run..." (Snuggling back into bed.) "Yeah... well bye. Maybe next time."
Met some Winneconne friends and some senior center friends there, so was it was fine to be alone. I actually "won" first place senior women... quite unofficial, methinks. A funny little blinking shamrock. For my trophy case.
And HOW did they know, as I finished, that I was a "senior", wink, wink, wrinkle, wrinkle? Yeah, right. Looking forward to getting my run better, to my endurance.. to pushing it some, as I feel pretty good...but hmm.. time is way too slow. Question: How much can we expect "deteriorate" per year, after say, 55,. I wonder. There must be some average. So thogh we train and such, we could stay in the same place ..and yet be improving? Does that make sense?
This, the inaugural 5k run/walk S-S was held at UW-O; what an awesome recre/wellness facility. Whooo-eee! I graduated about 40-some years too early. want to find a way to get to go there. Well, next race for me is Oshkosh 5-K, April 12, 27 days away. .
That event was well done, fun and fine. Was a bit chilly...500 -plus runners. I/We rewarded self with great dinner with DSO at Hasses' Supper Club, out there on Highway D. Buttery steak, nice red wine. Oysters, even. So much for pine nuts, as spring heats up my desires and excitement levels.
Will always check my T,IK (This, I know) check list for prep for race... was nice, to get there early for a change. Then, I went on errand-spree in Oshkosh, where Barrack Obama's headquarters looked pretty quiet... as in locked up,. But it was a Saturday. Bought Leo Kottke tickets. Hurrah, and some health and Asian foods.
