I expect you're right, Muddy.
Buit what a pity the film stopped at that moment. I'd have liked to see what they did about the bear attack.

Re: Two billion people in the world are over 50..

I've never really looked at running as exercise and keeping fit, it's more a way of life. I initially went out running to cure a hangover and discovered that I loved running. I found that if I went out on a regular basis I could run further and faster, and with my love of the wide open spaces I would go up to the fells and moors and just run on my own.

It wasn't long before I got noticed and it was suggested I tried my hand at fell running. I took to it like a duck to water, and enjoyed the camaraderie, this led to even more running.

So these days I'm lost if I don't go out for a run and over the years it's helped me in other areas of my life. I've been fit enough to do manual stuff, I can eat anything I want without putting on weight - I weigh just about the same now as I did when I left school, it's just distributed differently...

But mostly I like the 'Me Time' it gives when I'm out on the trail, many a problem has been resolved while jogging along. The speed has declined along with the distance but it's like brushing your teeth, shaving or going to the toilet, just something that needs doing regularly.....

Three years ago I drove a snowmobile 508 km from near the Norwegian Russian and Finnish border down into Finland then back into Norway(a different route) and visited the second most northerly point in Europe.

On my 70th birthday, in February, I should be out in the wilds about 200 miles above the Arctic circle.
I think I'm reasonably fit for my age.

Get well soon Floydy
Well done, Wayleron. Good to see you're still keeping yourself active.

It can't be easy recovering from an op Floydy, particularly when you have been so active. I'm recovering from a nasty hand injury and I think I have turned the corner, but it's so frustrating to have to wait. My first few days without constant pain. I hope you are pain free soon too. It's such a literal pain when you forget that you are not quite healed. At least for me things feel ok and then I move things in the wrong way by accident and - ouch!

But our ability to heal is amazing, the other day I thought my finger was falling off (it's still there).

I hope you heal well and that you are more patient than me. I hate having to wait.
