Suitably attired, and looking very professional, my Dad set off doing some runs around the local area, building up to 5 km of running and some walking.
This morning, we went out for our first run together! Age 65, my Dad ran 5 km, none stop (his longest run in 50 years), on a hilly course......in 33 minutes! He's a natural! Look out for him (near the front) at a race near you. For his birthday (in 2 weeks), I am going to enter him in a race, although he doesn't know that, till he reads this.
Unimpressed by all this showing off, my Mum went for an 8 mile walk, and came back less than 2 hours later, having also decided to do some running.
They are machines, the pair of them.
But in a good way, of course. I am very proud of them!
Me and my big mouth ! Please make it a 5k and not a 10k, I want to make next year's birthday, too !

Thank you for the comments "Super daughter". I'm very proud of you to. I should point out to anyone reading this I only "run" (well slow jog really) on downhill parts of a walk so that gravity gives me a hand!!.
Really pleased your hip seems to be on the mend though Amy. I know you've really found it hard not being able to run.
