June... my goodness how the time has flewn

[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Glaconman boastful? What tosh. We're each an experiment of one, not one performance comparable with another. I have mates who knock out Parkruns in under 19 minutes every week and others posting PBs in the high twenties. It's all relative, but only in a meaningful way when comparing one's self to oneself.

It's when Runkeeper tells me 'congratulations! That's your 8th fastest 4.7 k run' (when I've only done 8) that I get really depressed about my running times. These 'not quite training, just keeping my hand (feet) in' outings are jolly important.

Entirely correct, Mr. Sweder. Well said, sir.
