I'm a Speedy Turtle

It was a harsh reality; being surrounded by a bunch of college students while I was running made me feel every bit of my age.  For a person who is much closer to her 40's than her 20's, it's safe to say I don't run as fast as I used to.  I'd like to be faster and hope all this insane winter training for the Ragnar will eventually help me speed up.  But absolutely nothing could make me feel slower or older than running on the indoor track at URI (University of Rhode Island).  But it's nice to know I wasn't going to see anyone I knew while I was suffering through my embarrassingly old/slow workout surrounded by hundreds of girls half my age. 
Living in the middle of nowhere but only two miles from URI, we take advantage of the facilities often.  We spend lots of our Friday nights at the pool and when it's too cold to run outside it's nice to have an indoor track to run on.  Go Rams!
