I did the Half Marathon!
 

Well at the tender age of 54 years I completed the half marathon at the Robin Hood event in Nottingham yesterday in 3 hr 2 min and 19 secs!!

The atmosphere was fantastic so the next target is the Full Marathon - Paula Ratcliffe eat you heart out!

Last year, aged 44, I ran the London Marathon grinding round in 5 hours 36 minutes.

Jolly pleased with this. However . . . the evening news had a good feature. A 95 year old Seikh ran round in 4 hours 30 minutes. Apparently he took up the sport a few years ago to take his mind off things after his wife died. When asked what it was like running a Marathon at his age he replied:

"It gets harder every year!'

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
