Not so bad here in Austin, TX. We were in the Capitol 10K yesterday: 12000 timed runners, of whom 5580 were men. 250 of them (>4%) were over 65, with 117 (2%) over 70. Not so many women in these age groups. My wife was 8th in the 70-74 division with 1:26;10. I was 24th of 72 in the men's 70-74 division with 1:15:40 (much better than being 7th out of 7 in the Marathon last month!). I was beaten by 8 minutes by a 94-year-old!
Next week the Austin 10/20, a ten miler, after which I have to get to church to sing in the choir for Palm Sunday service. Then I can start preparing for the G.A.S.P!
