Then and Now

Then: I ran 50 miles at 8:04/mile
Now: It’s an effort to run 5 miles at 8:04/mile

Then: I ran a 10K in 33:50 (Charles Harris 10K April 30, 1983)
Now: I know I can’t run ONE mile at that pace. (05:27/mile)

Then: I ran a mile in 4:20
Now: I have a hard time running ¾ mile in 4:30. (I’d get lapped by my former self)

Then: I ran a 10-miler in 60:50
Now: I run a 10-miler in 74:00 (only on a good day)

Then: I ran a 2:49:16 marathon in 1987. (6:27/mile)
Now: I doubt I can run one mile at that pace.


(Just bragging and getting those times in the record.)
