I believe you and I are the same age since I resonated with your post about being half way through life at 45. I can't say I've made it over the wall but I've certainly been doing a lot of noodling about how to climb it. I think I've come to the conclusion that for me at least there has been some realization that my biggest dreams may never come true and that I've lost my sense of direction. I've probably reached a peak in my running ability that I'll never exceed, at least not by much, and I seem to be on some kind of plateau in my carreer that may take a some kind of change in direction to get off. In short, I think I'm looking for a new sense of purpose. Sounds like you've still got some running bests in you. I can't imagine training for a 100. Hope you find a way around/over your wall.

Stop running! Metaphorically.
...You are exhausted. Stop running! Metaphorically. <br />Never actually stop running please. But just relax a bit will you? You've done more in a year than most will in a life time. Relax a little already! Everyone around you is in awe, and getting tired merely watching you. You must be exhausted. 48 peaks, all those races, running them, organizing them. Big kids, small kids, taking on/over the household. What impressed me most? You squeezed in a whole lot of vacation and family time. Take the rest of the year off... will ya? _walk_ the (Minesfall) park, don't run it. 'waste' time watching a movie (Wilton!) and/or some concert or ballet. Cheers!
