Time telescopes as you age. A decade, which is a half a lifetime when you're 20, seems to have flown away with wind when you're 60.
I've been following Galen Rupp since he first emerged as a runner to watch at Portland's Central Catholic High School, and that doesn't seem so long ago to me now.
So, it's a little unsettling to realize he is nearly 32, with more good years of his athletic career behind him than ahead
Rupp is one of the contenders in the men's race at Monday's Boston Marathon and, maybe the favorite.
