If it was Obea, then it should read "former 45 second runner splitting 44."

Re:

Go for it, Of course you can come back. If you fall short of your expectations... You will have a great time out on the track anyway.

Good Luck

(I took 13 years off, never ran a race in my twenties, and I came back.)

Re: Re:

Have you thought about the 800? or 1500? You could be awesome!!
Lydiard said if he could train Henry Carr for the mile, he'd break the WR with consumate ease.
Think about it as you're in your physical prime years right now!!
