Food for thought if you are in this age group and feeling your age?

Amazing achievment for anyone that's a lot of miles/hours in the water.

Oh yes! I heard this in the small hours this morning. Amazing! Puts me to shame.

And I was feeling so smug that I had got the bus to Newcastle from Durham today

I did 30 minutes on the treadmill at the gym today - not really in the same league is it? grin
