       66yo M runner looking to join a team

       I'm looking for either a noncompetitive fun team, just to do the
       relay and complete it -- or possibly a supermasters team if my
       stats are acceptable. Currently training at roughly 9:30-mile
       pace for a distance of six or seven miles, and might be able to
       achieve 9s or 8:30s if my portions of the relay do not include
       any steep grades.
       I've run the HtC once before, more than half my life ago, in
       1992, and would love to have another bash at it.
       Can share a few war stories, such as . . .
       . . . met Steve Prefontaine my first week of high school at our
       alma mater (Marshfield High in Coos Bay; I was eight years
       behind him), and beat his freshman two-mile school record the
       following spring . . .
       . . .  as a journalist, have interviewed Leonard Nimoy, Ken
       Kesey, Hoyt Axton, and Jeff Daniels . . .
       . . . as an actor, have appeared on many Portland non-Equity
       stages and in multiple productions of Shakespeare-in-the-Parks,
       as well as an episode of "Grimm" . . .
       . . . as a performing folk dancer, have danced the sun up on
       May Day at Council Crest and appeared in multiple Christmas
       Revels shows . . .
       . . . as a singer, have sung with choirs from the stages of the
       Schnitz and Carnegie Hall, and nearly 600 different songs in
       karaoke format because I'm a karaoke nerd . . .
       . . . as a copyeditor and proofreader, got to work on several
       books by and with Harlan Ellison . . .
       . . . as an author, have given book talks at Powell's as well
       as other bookstores and libraries for two of the four books I
       wrote or coauthored . . .
       . . . as a voice actor, have recorded many books for the blind,
       performed excerpts from "The Hobbit" in old-time-radio-show
       style live at the Kennedy School for Tolkien's birthday, and
       currently do character voices for two different science-fiction
       podcast series . . .
       . . . but other than that, my life has been fairly routine.
