The Retirement Thread

We've just witnessed history being made.
Two runners beat the 2 hour mark....they said it couldn't be done..... amazing.

An amazing finish, I really feel for the guy who came second, imagine running sub two hour in your first marathon and not winning 😮

Gorgeous here now. I had another little wander so have finished the week at 162,000 steps so around a 23,000 per day average. No doubt it will drop again when the rain returns but it’s still looking decent for a while yet.

Possibly because of the horror stories we read about.
I do mine online and I struggle to get past the security questions.
I mentioned this before but years ago there was/is a guy in my town who got the famous email from the Nigerian prince. He fell for it and lost every penny from his bank account.....iirc it was £35+K.

I have never heard any horror stories about mobile phone banking apps.

They are incredibly secure. Ditto Google Wallet.

Brill, give him congratulations.
Was he running for a charity?

All this talk about marathons has inspired me.....im going for a walk.
Just a short one today, maybe 1.5 miles.

Ballot for next year's London is open until Friday Dave, plenty of time to build the distance up. 😁
