Unfortunately I mistakenly deleted all of the past 10 years before Sept. 2025 I did find just 3 months from December 30, 2023  in an emailjust below). After that I start again from September 2025.

From December 5th I started slowly working out towards running in a possible meet in March (indoor mile, world record for 70 year olds is 5:29.6 which I will be in about 16 months). During these 3 weeks, I first just ran about a 7 minute mile pace on the treadmill, not super hard but quite hard. I might have only been able to run a 6:50 or at best 6:45 if I pushed it. At the end of this 3+ weeks, yesterday, December 29th I ran the aprox. .8 mile parking lot in 4:35 minutes which is probably about a 6 minute mile (possibly 5:55 in a competition with lots of rest and the adrenaline). So, my times have come down very quickly during this 3 and a half week period since about December 5th. I was first running about 5:25 in the parking lot. I, soon ran 6:39 minute mile on the treadmill, and on Dec. 26 I ran 6:39 minutes for 2 miles. I, also ran .8 miles at 6 minute mile pace about a week ago. I've ran a few 7.5 minute miles for 3.2 miles and ran several faster 5 minute mile pace for about a quarter of a mile on the treadmill. I also ran a couple of 230 meter plus meters in the parking lot (from 39 seconds down to about 33 seconds.
Of course, I've done my full gym workout twice a week. I will try to run the 5:30 minute treadmill mile tomorrow morning for hopefully at least .6 miles or longer (I ran it for .45 miles on Dec. 29th after I'd ran the 4:35 minute parking lot .8 miles). I should definitely be able to run 6 minute mile treadmill pace for a little over a mile now.

So, just as we were about to leave I asked to run in the 50 meters and not only got gold, but ran in 7.5 seconds which puts me 3rd in the world this year (although just the beginning) and 23rd in world for 2023

​It's now September 2, 2026  I'll just mention that about 7 months before my 70th birthday I was running over a mile on the treadmill at 5:30 minute pace which I got to in less than 2 months and felt I could go much further but got injured as has always been the case. I am kind of holding off now and will do it more for enjoyment and some jumping as I think it would be fun to be able to jump above the rim again and it might even help my running.
Anyway I've started these entries again from September.

Including all states I took 5th overall in the 100 m., 3rd in the 200 m.and 1st in the 400 meters, but didn't get very good times as I couldn't really run full out and had to start slow to avoid further injury (and they put me in slower groups which didn't help for the adrenaline rush you get from real competition.
