Hope for us all, no matter what age

A nice bit of positive light reading which popped up on my news feed today runnersworld.com/training/a... 😀

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Yay, yoga, burpees, and tart cherry juice ftw!!! 😄

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon]

I say just keep moving until you can't move anymore! 👍🏻💪🏻😁

[misswobble Marathon in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

I get to do tai-chi. Don’t mind if I do 👍

[misswobble Marathon]

I notice, as i race, just how many older women there are ripping it up out there It fills me enthusiasm 😃💪🏃‍♀️👵🏻 Yeeeeeeeeeeeha 🌪

Yay to the silver runners.

[GoGo_JoJo Ultramarathon]

I'm sure I posted it once before but one time running around my local streets I passed an elderly chap, 80 or even 90 plus with his dog and Zimmer, he was doing what I thought was a strange shuffle and it was only when I got around the next corner that it dawned on me that he was running! Bless him, it wasn't fast by my 4 decade standards but I'll be well pleased if I'm still trying when I'm his age!

Never give up 👍🏻😁

[Sqkr Half Marathon]

Haha that wasn't positive, it told me I had already peaked and then went on to list which bits of me were going to fall off and at what age 😂😭

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Sqkr]

Oh dear! I must've skipped that bit as being entirely irrelevant for my aged self 🤣🤣🤣

[Dexy5 10 Miles]

Tai chi for me then. Not sure how I’m going to fit more exercise and recovery in my life 😂

[mrrun Ultramarathon in reply to Dexy5]

I hope you know that contrary to its 'mild and meditative' image, tai chi is still one of the most recognised forms of Kung fu. As in, once the moves get faster, people get hit 😉. And some of the moves are right out of torture chamber. I should know, l am married to its master. 👊

[Dexy5 10 Miles in reply to mrrun]

Ooh def not what I thought when seeing someone doing it in our local gardens. Might come in handy. 😂

[misswobble Marathon]

Some folks gather in a park near me and do something tai chi-like but it’s hand movements where they intertwine arms and hands. No idea what it is. 🤷‍♀️

[Snuffy_T Half Marathon]

50 plus here, I am afraid already too passed it for burpees. Theres nothing explosive about me anymore. But do agree on the stretches.

[linda9389 Administrator Marathon in reply to Snuffy_T]

I'm in there too - I skipped that section, definitely not for me! I can explode at the kids, but that's about it 🤣
