Our First Parkrun a month after starting to run in our fifties. Beautiful morning @ Lowestoft Beach.

Fantastic. My first run was on a beach in the rain and wind. Still have the photo. I'm the only one with leggings, long sleeve top and a hat everyone else had shorts and a vest 😂😂

Happy new year Victor! Beach running is hard work, not sure I'm.hoing to do any of that again although it would be beneficial. I sweated like crazy in a hat but fortunately I warm up enough to manage in t-shirt. I'm wearing calf sleeves (protection and support after calf tears) under the running trousers. They are Ronhill Classics, the 1990s army PTI choice of leg covering which instilled sheer terror at knowing what utter bastardry was about to happen and utter horror t at the way they framed the genitalia. I had to buy them just for the nostalgic dark humour 😁.

Thank you Carl! Ash has six years on me and hadn't run in over fifteen years until this month. He's done what he set out to do and is onto his cycling challenge next. I'm going for sub 35 next, then sub 30, then have to eventually beat 25m30s...that's going to be very, very difficult I reckon.
