Well I'm 66 and on final 2 runs and procrastinating so you've given me a push to finish so thank you. My only mitigating circumstances are Thursday, flu jab, Saturday, covid booster, Sunday, twisted back, Tuesday, couldn't find running leggings to face the cold at 7am 😂 😂 😂

Well done! Keep going! I am 68 and only started running two years ago in the first covid lockdown, otherwise I would still be on the couch :)
