My Running

I started serious exercise some years ago after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and diverticulitus in the same week- control for both is diet and exercise, so I lost some 35 kilos and started going to a free, local council program called "Fitness in the Park." After a few years I started running to supplement fitness in the park- now I mainly do middle-distance running, supplemented occasionally by fitness in the park. My main distances are 5 and 10k, with the odd half-marathon to stop me getting complacent. This photo is after my first-ever half-marathon at the Launceston Running Festival in 2018, at the age of 69.

The finish of my first-ever full marathon at the Cadbury Marathon Festival in Jan. 2023 at the age of 74.

And of course, as it was my first-ever marathon, it was also a PB (personal best time) so I get to ring the PB bell!
