Can't believe I've done it , just hope my knees don't give in . Hope I'm not pushing them over the edge lol . My husband keeps saying I'm too old and I'm going to end up in a wheelchair he does exaggerate ! .

Thanks jenwrenarm, try not to worry take it nice & steady and you will do it , think positive . Good luck .

Congrats...but watch those knees. They are tricky blighters at the best of times.

Try cod liver oil (unless you are a vegie). I find that it helps in the long (ahem, excuse the pun) run. It certainly shouldn't do you any harm, and nay well help.

I had big problems with my knees ~ I almost had to be rescued from Helvellyn ~ some years ago, but a trip to the physio and cod liver oil and I have never looked back.
