Nice.
I'm running a Halloween 10k on Sunday. I am also slow.
Yeah, but you're out there! There's an advantage, I think to never having ever been the best, and that's that you don't compare yourself to anyone but yourself and you can always better yourself (at least w/age grading)
Have fun! There's a local guy who literally runs every race and he could go fast, but he just shows up and encourages everyone.
I'm hitting the sack now. Race at 8:00 am.
