My mind says go but my body says no. The arthritis and the leg pain will not let me get any speed or distance. My interval training last night got as far as 8 laps around the Healthtrax track. My legs got heavier with each lap and the effort to move was so bad that I had to stop.
I could walk the 5 mile Mattapoisett course and come in last, but I do not want to end my running days that way.
I know that I gave it my best. It was a great running career with 21 Marathons and countless other races. So at age 77 its time to say goodbye to Road Racing.
