My sub-8 minute mile

Well, I haven't run a sub-8 minute mile since high school. And I'm not a track star like some other posters. Yet that is my goal, a very far-fetched and currently-seemingly-out-of-reach goal. Right now I barely make a 10 minute mile. I know - rue d'pathetique. I don't have a timeline for reaching that goal, but I know that it might be a while, considering that I have to force myself out of bed everyday, being motivated in part by jiggling that large flap of skin that somehow managed to swallow my waist. =)

I'm old.
