Never too late

Amnotaclimbingframe profile image

A 50% heavier + older than when used to run 5/10k. Even tho 50% slower am chuffed in 9 wks have gone from huffing for 100m to 5k. Overtaken by pregnant women and octogenarians but know can do it. Not without pain - fell on knees twice so 2 weeks 'rest' - learnt patience and perseverance. All ages/sizes/shapes running. It nice to smile and great to receive a smile! 🦖🏃‍♀️🙂
