8K with an 85 YO

[Bazza1234]

At our running club, we have an 85 YO man who was a good marathoner in his day - but he has slowed down considerably . However he NEVER stops when running. Today I stuck with him at the back of the pack for 8K at an average 9:30 mins per K. It was slow even for me -but we chatted along the entire way and NEVER stopped. About 1 hour and 15 minutes later I knew that I had gone on a run!! We got lots of looks from bystanders along this touristy beachside course - I guess that was not surprising seeing as how 155 years of experience was passing by them !!

Lovely image. Hope I'm still running at 85, or even 70. Two very fit older persons!

Very inspiring to be running at that age!
