Malmo, You crack me up! I picture you at birthday parties walking around with a pin and popping the balloons of all the kids. I've been trying to figure out PR's since I rounded over the hill. It's like this, if I run as fast today as I ran yesterday, it's a new PR for my age. Or, even if I run slower, it's a PR. Can you go up and down stairs yet? John
