Park run for the oldies

[pilch]

Had a lovely Park Run this morning. Managed just to beat another runner who seemed about my age ( 72 ) only to find when the results appeared that he was in the 75 to 79 category! I'll do well if I'm as quick as him in three years time.

I can just visualise him looking at the results and thinking '...beaten by a whippersnapper....' Well done you !

Have you always ran. I'm 61 and used to run a lot when I was younger. I walk everyday with my dogs for at least an hour but I thought myself too old to run. Reading your post inspired me. Thank you.

Hi Florence I've certainly been running for many years. Now I prefer to run off road - tracks and trails. It's more interesting and less strain on the old knees. Hope you can get back into it again.

Best wishes

Pilch

There is a lady who runs each week at my local parkrun who is in the 80 to 84 category. I asked her if she ran in the week and she said not but she kept fit by walking her dog for hours everyday.
