I knew he used to be fast, but didn't realize he was quite that fast. I'll have to be more respectful of the old man in future. You wrote: "We didn’t train together, oddly, because we were all on different schedules ..." I think making compromises to one's schedule to run with others can be very beneficial. Running with a group can be a big help, as long as (a) there aren't ego problems turning training runs into races (my running motto is "It is not who wins the training runs that counts.") and (b) one does some hard runs alone, because in every race one is "alone" even when in the middle of a pack and in front of thousands of spectators.

If you were, it would be a remarkable improvement in their editorial judgement. J wrote: “What if I were on the cover of Runner’s World magazine?”
