Thanks for all the supportive comments after my 80th birthday run. Why was I concerned? Today was my most comfortable run so far. I am practising "niko niko run with smile" method so I am very slow and didn't cover much distance in 28 minutes. Who cares? Roll on W9. Mind you, I do not recommend a diet of cake, wine and steak and ale pie the day before a run, just once every eighty years.

I think I shall be building cake, steak and ale pie and wine into my running regime- sounds a good plan to me- it obviously works!
