I've ranked my top ten performances here. This was tough! I ran much in junior high through post-college, and got serious again at age 36. My main criterion was not necessarily place (I've left some big wins out) or time (some course and distance bests didn't make it). Rather, these are the races for which I trained and competed with great heart, like a champion!
