JMan, don`t abandon your goal. You are far too young and healthy not to pursue. I know a 70 yr old man who ran 5 minutes, 11 seconds this summer! I`m 61 yrs old and suffered a massive heart attack 2.5 yrs ago; I have an ICD/Pacemaker and only approx 50% heart fuction due to heart muscle damage from the heart attack. However, I just completed my first half marathon and hope to break 3:45 in a marathon before 3/1/04. Not a world record time, but a significant accomplishment for me. Go for it!
