GETTING OLD AND STAYING YOUNG

4:02 in the morning [Music] [Music] so I am up at the crack of dawn this morning to go run a race the race isn't a big deal but this whole thing's a big deal for let me explain morning old tradition of mind always have a bagel before a race today's a big deal because how you sir in a lot of races but I haven't run one in three years and today is me confronting that by running my first race in three years and my little brother's coming there for moral support and I paid for the bagels well thank you for the delicious bagels bye ladies [Music] Suns coming up race starts in uh [Music] we've arrived I'm gonna go register for the race now I [Music] thought I could sign up today you're not allowed to sign up race day to register they told me no they told me to go home I found the race director and he says you let me run I don't get a time though or like a bib where you put the number on but whatever I get to run it's official a little concerned about the temperature though it's freezing everyone has on sweatpants and tights and this is what I brought to run in [Music] ready starts in ten minutes okay race starts in like four minutes you know what it is I mean I run every day and I've run 50 races before that butterflies right now I think what it is like I'm getting old I'm 35 now and I can tell myself that I'm in great shape and I feel young and all that but when you actually show up to something like this and there's a clock and a time it's like an actual test of how well I'm maintained its confronting that that I think makes me a little nervous wish me luck [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] see you ten miles [Music] super super happy with my performance in my first race out in three years you know the timing tip right I'm too here on my on my phone I came at 103 which puts me here can you see this so I ran a little further at 10.2 miles a six minute 14 second pace I think it puts me around 20th place out of maybe like a thousand runners felt good though as you get older the price of maintaining your youth goes up and up and up and what that means is when you're like 15 16 18 years old you know wherever the hell you want you don't have to exercise you're skinny it's easy in your 20s it gets a little harder you get fat in college you become even older and all it gets harder and harder the older you are the harder you have to work there was this guy in front of me during the race and gray hair gray mustache he was ahead of me the whole race we started together but he was ahead of me the whole race and I was chasing him down as best I could and I finally caught up to him at Mile 9 one mile left and I pulled up next to him and he turns mean he goes 60 I'm 60 years old at 60 he's as fast as I am at 35 busting my ass he's as fast as I am if there's one truth that I know is that the source of the Fountain of Youth can be summed up with one word work [Applause] [Music] by the way the main reason why I brought my kid brother today I mean I like hanging out with the kid but the main reason why I brought him was so he could film me while I ran he missed the shot of me crossing the finish line because he was in the car getting warm thanks Tina [Music]

I know Casey is ill-prepared... In a lot of vlogs you see Candice, Matt or Jack keeping him on track for timed arrangements like plane flights or meetings... but this is just another example:

• Didn't sign up for the race in advance
• Didn't consider the freezing weather in January

Still - he was prepared to run it! Near-6 minute miles! Well done, Casey!

He's posting with a lot more frequency. He's getting the itch.

That's 16.4 km in 1 hour. Absolutely insane.

I got a notification for a video called "My 2017 PROMISE" but when I checked this was the only video there... hmmm

He said he hasn't raced in three years, but didn't he do the NYC marathon?

[u/JasonOct]

Fuck now i want to get back into running again

Very nice video, old school casey.

Candice is back in town so I guess that's it for good videos for a while then.

[u/ADPowers001]

He couldn't bother to sign up for the race before he got there?
