I love how running at school was labelled 'casual running'! A great story.
And what a timely post, Jeremy - I've just signed up for my local 5km (with not long to go...) so have started running again. I'd never run, and then when I was 40 I decided to start - for a bit I absolutely loved it, but couldn't handle the injuries (my 'all or nothing' approach to most things meant, for running, that I didn't build up gently, didn't know when to stop, and was surprised when I felt my legs would fall off. Cost me a fortune in osteopathy). During Covid lockdowns I became immensely fit from binging excessively on YouTube exercise videos in my front room - not just watching, but doing!) - but in the last year I ground to a halt and have been getting soft and puffy.
It's early morning now, and I'm off out to walk 1km and jog/walk 3km. Small steps to start with, right? 🤣
