Up until recently I was jogging a slow (3.5 mph) jog for three miles on the treadmill. I learned quickly when I tried to take it outside that it doesn't translate!

I lift free weights and I'm working up again... As you said... age has slowed me down, but since I never quit.... I think I can get it back again. I was afraid of a running club for the reasons you stated... I didn't want to start out trying to go at full speed right from the get go.

I retire at the end of this month and that should provide for the time I need to get back at it!
Angie -- Off topic, but just wanted to say congrats on your upcoming retirement -- you lucky, lucky woman.
