I have to admit to double standards here: when marshaling parkruns I always goad some of the middle-aged women who are chatting away on their 30 minute 'jogs' - "that's enough of the chat!"Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117707725943210131.post-35243888371473583022019-08-13T12:09:18.435+01:002019-08-13T12:09:18.435+01:00I did the same in my second race, a half marathon....I did the same in my second race, a half marathon.

It was a bit congested near the back, and running in the evening doesn't really suit me, so is it really a surprise that I can jog around the grassy parkrun course, chatting to folk along the way, faster than I can manage to race around an easier course?Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117707725943210131.post-82865030027890390242019-08-08T10:31:45.124+01:002019-08-08T10:31:45.124+01:00On the positive side John, it's possible that ...On the positive side John, it's possible that doctor did me a favour forcing me to use my leg again so quickly?

A Miss World entrant said it was her way of keeping a wonderful figure and I thought it was something she did 'on the spot'.<br />Many would call me a jogger now, but having run sub 3 hour marathons in my 60's I think I can justifiably call myself a runner.<br />That 5K race of yours could be the start of something big. I speak from experience! <br />Cheers!oldrunningfox.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12113281696954817545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-117707725943210131.post-73771829394724196842019-08-07T15:50:05.609+01:002019-08-07T15:50:05.609+01:00Well done old bean, and keep up the running.

I suppose that qualifies as a 'run', even though I was only jogging in the heat!<br />Do take care...
