Cracks in the mortality armor

I passed out (blacked out or something) this morning. Getting out of bed to wake my son up, I got to the bedroom door and felt the blood flushing away from my head and just slumped over. I banged my head on the bed frame, and according to my wife was out for 5 to 10 seconds. I didn't feel anything abnormal, and the worse part was banging my head on the bed, but this may be signs of things to come.

Old age is showing up in force.

Running diary

10/10/10 -- Ran in a 5K. My time was 22:41, which was much faster than I had anticipated.

As noted in July, I was going to try to run/train on a regular basis to get in shape to run a half-marathon in under 2 hours. I kept up the training for about 3 weeks, and just totally slacked off. So it was a surprised to me that I was able to run the 5K as fast as I did. My previous 5K in July was at 24:12.

10/16/10 -- Went for a 13 miles run to see what kind of shape I was in. The results was the same as before. That is decent time up through 10 miles, but all pain after that.

I got through 3 miles at 26:10, 6 miles at 53:00 and 10 miles at 1:33:00, but after that I mostly walked, essentially all of the last 2 miles to finish the 13 miles at 2:22:00.

I'm going to try to do this once a month until the end of the year. I have 2 goals.

1st - to run the 13 miles faster 2:10:00

2nd - to run the 13 miles in less than 2:00:00

I'll report back to update my progress
