Got told this morning by a well-meaning "friend" - "we really shouldn't run at our age - it's bad for the hips and the knees" she doesn't run at all. I'm 53. I know people mean well but I wish people would stop telling me what I should and shouldn't do - I know my own body. Sorry - end of rant.

I know. There was a Michael Moseley programme on recently that proved running isn't bad for your knees. Our skeletons were made for it - back in primal times we had to run all the time - to catch food & run away from dinosaurs! 😂

You have the body and mind of a 33 year old!
PS pretty sure that humans didn't coexist with dinosaurs.
I will try to find a link that proves that the Flintstones is not a documentary. 😉😃
