I told Dave yesterday that I'd be racing for the master's team in 2010. After years of competitive dormancy, I now have an excuse to try to make something of myself. I'm one of these types who pretty much quit after 35 because I realized I was never going to run as fast as I had just a couple years earlier, plus I had some bumps in the road along the way. But I know it's not about that. I miss the pre- and post-race banter, the ribbing, the road trips, and the general bullshit.
I've been with the club for over a dozen years now and realize I can count most of my best friends among its members, even if I've been reclusive and not apt to meet with people unless firebombed out of my chair. I also look forward to meeting some of the newer and younger guys on the MORT. Here's hoping 2010 is what I have been scheming for it to be, for all of you as well as for me personally.
Am I allowed to write love letters like this here? I better be, I'm old and grizzled now.
