Yo Run Gang,

What is your 10K time? What is your marathon time? You would think these are simple straight forward questions Not! When asked such a question a runner will do some mental gymnastics to come up with an answer. Do you give your personal record time from 12 years ago, do you give the time you hope to run next, the time you ran last, a ball park time of about what you can run now? (always erring on the fast side of course) Worse yet, do you answer with an explanation that includes your entire running career including your P.R, your almost times, if my training goes the way I hope time, or based on how much Im improving right now time

The hard truth is that you are the runner you are today and the time you actually ran at a recent race is what matters. Damn.

Randy Step, an obsessed runner who has not set a P.R. in many years but is quick to talk about his old race times!
