Age run Euro 2008
I am 47 tomorrow and the thought does not impress me. If 45 is middle age then I am well and truly into it.
Have signed up for the New Forest Half Marathon in latest desperate effort back down to my optimum weight. Did first run of training schedule yesterday. Pleasant running two miles to West Kirby and back along Hoylake's deserted 5am streets.
So difficult to fit training around work and family. Hoping to get home for an hour and a two-miler at tea time before going to dinner at the Bishop's Lodge tonight.
First milestone will be the Run for Rhys in Croxteth Park on July 6. This 5k will raise money for Liverpool Unites which is fundraising to build a community centre in Rhys's memory.
Do run/walk/jog/stagger the 5k if you can. register at http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/runfor rhys
Harry is running it with me. Did not however, respond well to me knocking on his door at 5am. So off I went on my own. His training may be less rigorous.
Enjoying Euro 2008. Can't believe England would have done anything other than crash out of the group stages had we qualified. The top teams are so much slicker (and dare I say) more passionate than we are. Anyone disagree?
