Question, How Many

[hamit]

Just thought. How many Senior Runners are with this group? I mean over 65, I will get the ball rolling I am 73.😎👍

[hamit Graduate10 in reply to Chocolatedancer]

Hi Youngster 😎👍

[Grannyhugs Graduate10]

Hi, thanks for showing those of us approaching 60 that we have "a lifetime " of running ahead of us😀 . Do you know that in many races age classifications put you in super veterans at 50 for men and 45 for women - I guess you must be in the " phenomenal runner" category, well done. happy running 🤗

[hamit Graduate10 in reply to Grannyhugs]

I set it at 65 but knew it would draw comment.

I was just curious to know if there were any other senile delinquents out there like me😁 The truth is what ever age you are running at we are all winners.👍

This is the only place where I have actually owned up to my age (67) - usually I just mumble something and change the subject! But it seems to be a place where people are proud to be running at all ages so I decided if you can’t beat them, join them and own it! But I still don’t understand how I got to be 67 - last time I checked I was organising my 40th!!😳

Hello Youngster, Oh yes time flys. I get a kick out of sometimes passing younger runners with the cry " Old guy coming thru " Its the look of total horror on there faces with I love. So enjoy your seniority. From my point of view I have no choice but to grow older, enjoying the process is the trick and I think running helps.😁

[Oldgirlruns Graduate10 in reply to hamit]

Well as long as I can keep up my (slow) running and my diving, I guess no-one else but us need know, eh?!

[Blossom- 60minGraduate]

Hi Hamit, I'll be 66 next week! (How did that happen?)

[hamit Graduate10 in reply to Blossom-]

Hi Youngster, still waiting for a person older than me to reply. 66 it seems only yesterday. Enjoy 😁

[UpTheStanley Graduate10]

69, whichever way you look at it 🙃

[hamit Graduate10 in reply to UpTheStanley]

Hi Youngster, I suppose it's the top and tail of it.

[JonathanP Graduate10]

Definitely a youngster at just 65!😀

[hamit Graduate10 in reply to JonathanP]

65, Enjoy your youth, Youngster😎

Hi Hamit! Great question- Just recently turned 69 and my husband is 71 (C25K has been a godsend for us). I do like the terms “senile delinquent” and “phenomenal runner” ❤️. We are also trying to learn how to sail. You’ve been and continue to be an inspiration on the forum.

[hamit Graduate10 in reply to 2bon]

Well done on the learning how to sail as well as the running. I am learning the guitar but I think I am the despair of the guitar teacher, but never give up I suppose. Good luck on your endeavors. 😎😁👍

[Gwenllian1 Graduate10]

I’m 65, just three weeks off my 66th birthday. Not quite sure how that happened! I’m just pleased to be chugging along!

[hamit Graduate10]

Hi Youngster, keep on running

[Gigglers3]

Hi Hamit.

I'm 73! I'm glad you asked. I've been curious to know if I'm the eldest on here.

[hamit Graduate10 in reply to Gigglers3]

Wow at last, 1947 was a good year. I have even got the T shirt😁👍

[FestinaLente 60minGraduate]

Hi Hamit.

This senile delinquent will be 73 next month.

[hamit Graduate10 in reply to FestinaLente]

Well that makes 3 of us! What a vintage! keep on running. Our years are our strength.😎👍

[Sybilw Graduate10]

I’m 65 and only started running at 63. My favourite comment as I run past people is “old enough to know better” and best response was “and young enough not to care”!! I love parkrun because of the age grading 🤣
