One final post from me. Johno ran 2.19 at 24. At 29 he ran 2.40. He didn't think that sucked at all. He just realised he no longer could run 2.19 but thought 2.40 was OK for a guy with a busy life and a few nagging injury issues.

fast or naked.
VF Runner and mopak,
You're on the same page with this one. It seems like our fictitious Johno should be able to adjust his level of expectations, given that his choices are dictating a more balanced and fulfilling life.
And that's precisley my problem. Intellectually, I know that what I have to do is necessary for a stabilized future. But there's this rebellious spirit within me that still wants to go kick ass on race day.
I'm having trouble hanging that up. It's been a major part of who am I all these years and what I get the biggest kick out of.
But, in the end, some poster earlier said it right.
"Grow up". Let me get to it then.
This is Jack,

...unless anyone else has something to say
Good luck Jack.
And thanks for the discussion, it's been a fun one to follow.
So, then, why aren't you willing to do what it takes anymore to get you where you want to be?
