The 2006 marathon demographics have been summarized and released here. I was a teensy tiny bit disappointed in my Marine Corps Marathon time because (even though it was a big PR) it was very slightly over the median time for the women in my age group in that particular race.
BUT!
It turns out the average time for women 50-54 in US marathons in 2006 was 5:26:58!! I ran a 5:23:51 at MCM!!
I'm finally (if the statistics hold in 2007) an above average old lady marathoner. :-)

And it's a rarified peer group to begin with.
