    Jim, I used to think that too but don't sell yourself short. Even at 45 I have beaten most of my distance times as a kid and am still lowering them even more, now I am going after my sprints. Give yourself a chance mentally and you might be surprised how fast you can go physically. Thanks for the support, but since I trained like a madman in my youth, and went fairly fast (55 100y brst and 1:04 100m brst) I think I will realistically be lucky to come within 10% of those times. I'd love to go 59 and 1:09... :cane:
