Running thread

Hey guys. I'm not on here so much recently. Family holidays, weddings, age, injury and other circumstances are all interfering with my running.

I'm 64 now, with a dodgy left hip, but I'm grateful that I can still get out on the occasional run. I'm holidaying on the Ross of Mull this week. I've just completed 9km in 1:09:41. At the pace I run at, I got to take in stunning views variously of Erraid (features in RL Stevenson's Kidnapped), the beautiful Isle of Iona, with Staffa and other Hebridean islands in the distance, plus scenery and wildlife not often encountered back in Cheshire.

With views like that, who cares how long the run takes!

Well done mate

Fantastic mate
 
Travelled up to Fleetwood parkrun this morning Ran up and down the coast. Slight breeze but good to run in. Time was 30:04.

Looked at the Garmin data and for a very short period my fastest speed was 10.1mph. Think there must have been a glitch on my watch!

After completing the Couch to 5k a few weeks ago I am going to do my first park run tomorrow. I’ve been hoping to run sub 30 minutes, went for a run yesterday and managed 29:29. Three months ago I could barely run for 90 seconds!

Like your namesake, who was always the last to finish the run at training when I used to go and watch in Wythenshawe Park, back in the 60s.

Well done mate. Which Parkrun?
