    Very impressed Kev.
    I was a dead set sprinter . 100 & 200, were my go.

    That would be interesting.
    Maybe a very slow one I could cope with.
    To many aching bones these days.

    There is a Vets mile and runners as old as me even compete!
    I actually had one run as a pro 40yrs ago (before doing my achilles)
    It was in a mile (which I did not like running but the half mile was every 2nd meeting)
    Funny thing was, unbeknownst to me until after the race when the stewards called me in, I was backed into favouritism but ran the race commensurate with how I felt about the distance

    No way should we even think about it Trish
    During covid I thought I would push a lap of the local oval - on my 2nd 'surge' I pulled a calf muscle - commonly known as the 'old man's injury' LOL

    Ouch.
    No , I don't even walk the hills anymore Kev since Mark bought me a treadmill. Much easier. But I do incline it.

    Impressive stuff Kev. You could hardly complain if you backed a horse and it was non-trier though!

    Think of me as a RNRDoo = good when the conditions (distance) suited. I wasn't so much a non-trier as a 'nutcase'
