My first indoor mile in over 60 years went reasonably well. On Monday at Monmouth University I ran 7:46. Since the modest goal was to finish healthy, we are calling it a success.

Stats are steady and legs and feet are without issues

😊

I have had to come to accept the fact that two days of work leaves the 80 year old legs in need of 48 hours recovery to get back on track. I will have to work on upper body strength on those recovery days. It will make me a better quarter miler!🔥
