Dead on. I'm 52 too and I can't get over how slow I've become even though I keep running. Its awful.I met Steve in the mid 80's (ran with his coach) and he is just the nicest guy. And funny too.I remember watching him place in the Pittsburgh Marathon one year (didn't win but good prize money) and the first thing he said was something like "Get to keep the Bmer for another year!". Great guy.Big props to him for all he's done.
