Bloody spring chicken! I am 66 (67 tomorrow) and started our runs just before the snow, so we started again. We are on week 2 run 2 and believe me, we find it easier! Welcome to the fold and remember, to quote the Eagles.. "You can check out, but you can never leave!"

Another quote. "Slow and steady wins the race" (Marge Simpson) Good luck Jimmy
