Oh wow! They might have been a bit surprised at the time, but I bet they keep smiling all day now just thinking about it. I'm sure you've made the world a bit happier. :)

I think the old man was very puzzled, he hardly knew how to react !

1st one was a very nice lady, the 2nd and old man who didnt know what a high five was and the 3rd an workman on his knees in the road so I ran all around his van and back by which time he was up and on the phone and he probably thought, by his face, I was mad !!

HAHA! Go GJ! You rock!

my daughter has begged me to stop showing her up and my husband refuses to acknowledge I have done it ( scene : walks away head in hands, in disbelief ) he shouldnt be in disbelief after 50 plus years of living with me !

Wooohooo! Way to go Granny!! I think your husband and daughter should be proud to be seen with you. They should be so lucky that you are so gutsy and plucky and so obviously glad to be alive. Would they rather you sat in your rocking chair knitting.

Let's hear it for biddy power! I was just browsing for shi* hot new running shorts for Sunday. Tee hee

so are you up for the challenge or not AM

AncientMumGraduate in reply to grannyjudes

Steady on GJ, I run early in the morning. The only people I see are other runners and the pervy dog man and I ain't high fiving him. He's started to appear closer and closer to my house ever since I used to nod at him in the early days of the programme. If I give him a high five he'll probably take it as an invitation to knock on my door when AncientDad's at work!! Mind you if I finish a Parkrun I'll be high fiving everyone in sight! :) xx

Woooohoooo go you.

You remind me of my mum she would have done same, didn't care what others thought as long as she was having fun. Many a time we just walked off and left her doing her own thing and erm pretending we didn't know who the batty lady was ;)

This really is a novel way to get C25k noticed!

Now with video of this crazy Cornishwoman high fiving innocent bystanders, we could go viral.

Go Grannyjudes! I love it!

Keep running, keep smiling.
