Well done ZigZag. I got exhausted just reading your activity. Had to lie down to rest.

To ZIG ZAG and other well-retired folks: At the risk of my grandchildren saying 'stop bragging' Grandpa,I had one running challenge on my 'bucket list'. At 65 I ran the whole of the SW Coast path - 630 miles in 23 days (27 miles and 4,000 feet per day) for Cancer Research, raising £6000 - (mainly from peeps who said they would only pay up if I completed it ...) Note I wasn't considered 'an athlete' having been a 60 a day smoker into my late 30's. Some kind person has said that I still hold the world record for over 65's ... I suspect it is because no one else of my age has been stupid enough to attempt it. Incidently had a great support team (my wife and a pal as driver meeting me with water and food wherever they could in our trusty campervan.)
Suffice to say I spent a lot of the first year of retirement simply training - jogging & running for up to 6 hours a day - something couldn't be done whilst still 'enjoying myself' at work.
Now some 9 years later I just take the dog on long walks - knees still one piece btw, ... sitting in the evening sunshine at Normans Bay site ... with a glass of wine and doggie at my feet! Cheers!
