Today I ran the mile on the super track, in super-exceedingly helpful Nike shoes at the OTC All-Comers, Hayward Field.. My time was around 8:55 (results not yet available). Maybe next to last. Oldest by 10 to 15 years. I’m happy. Plan to return next week.
My PR, when around 50, is around 5:25. On the track at College of the Canyons, Santa Clarita, CA.

Nietzche was stupid and abnormal.
