What was I doing 10 years ago?

I was just in the process of giving up on running after 15 years of competitive running. A chronic knee problem just got too much for me. I was competing in Veteran's events on the track (5k & 10k) mostly. My last race was a 17:43 5k. I had got into a very bad training regime of always running too fast. No training run was ever slower than 4 minute/K pace. Looking back now, it is easy to see why my knee never recovered.

I had three kids under 5 years old and was trying for number 4. I was living in the same place as now, and doing virually the same job.
I was listening to a lot of Wiggles music.
