Philly Marathon last year. hoping for another Marathon PR this fall
March 2012, half marathon. Do hope to PR all distances next year. Had a tough couple years (getting out of shape and not training).
Oldest PR Mile from July 2010.
I am running one right now. Sorry, gotta hang up, homestretch coming up, time for my kick.

Mile road race December 2003.
June 1996
1500m
Hadn't thought about this one before. Pretty sure my last PR at a non-goofy distance was a November 2002 marathon. Getting old sucks.
for an odd-ball distance, this summer, but only because i never raced that distance before (and way way slower pace than much much longer races in the old days).
for a legitimate distance, 1984
5K, Mile, 1500, 800, 400 and 100m PRs in 2013 before I got injured.
As a side note I should mention that I never ran 1500, 800, 400 and 100m races before 2013.
400: 2004
800: 2004
1500: 2006
3200: 2004 (never run it)
5k: 2014
10k: 2014
Half: 2014
Full: N/A
Had a PR in early 90s that seemed like the last. Took 20 years off running but broke it recently in 2015.
PRs aren't important.
What is important is "what have you run lately?" Could you win your age-group locally?
If you're 40-55, could you run a 2:59 marathon? A sub-40 10k? Reasonable goal and nothing to be ashamed of.
Maybe if you're 70, you could run 2:59 too! Someone has done it.
Be positive
age 30
2010.
Just moved to a hilly f**king state and can barely run my own training pace, let alone race pace.
2007, Marathon.
Last Saturday.

July 2015, beat my PR for road 5k by 7 seconds
November 1st, 2014. 8000m XC
My last p.r. was in the marathon at age 27. Came close 3-4 more times after that but never beat it. I started running at age 13 and my 5k and 10k records were permanent at the end of college. My longer distance records were set in my mid to late 20s. By my early 30s, my legs were thoroughly beaten up and the old man slow down was on. I probably could have held onto my speed to an older age had I not been training and racing hard since my early teen years.
