RunDiva told me about this forum and she has impeccable taste regarding running people so I registered. I am a retired teacher who started running two yrs ago at age 60. 5 half-marathons, a 25 km run, a 30 km run and two marathons later I am still enthusiastic despite the heat this summer. so hi y'all!

Thanks for the warm welcome. The name is because of my running pace! :lol: Slow and steady is the order of the day. I try to mostly run in my "comfort" zone! When I took my first half-marathon clinic I trained much too fast and hard, thus developing the whole gamut of overtraining injuries. So I learned the hard way to slow down and actually enjoy this sport.
