Sub 5 minute mile at age 50

 It's been a while since I've posted anything, but I've been keeping busy. I once again rode at Rebecca's Private Idaho in September, finishing 18th in the Queen's Stage Race . I've struggled a bit in 2022 with motivation and finding the time, being super busy with our 3 kids sports. For example, whereas I rode more than 8K miles in 2021, through November 2022, I've only ridden 4,607 miles.  However, I've also rediscovered my first love that is running. Our middle kid, Janek, turned 12 in June, and he's a member of a local running club, the Rain City Flyers , where I help coach. It's a great group of kids with some seriously fast youth among them. Janek has been part of their cross-country set up for the past few years, but this has been the first year he has decided to train. He ended the track season with a PR of 5:13 for the 1,500m, and as we started cross-country season in September, he was not coming in as unfit as he has in prior years. Con
