STATUS La phlegm de la phlegm

About Me
Harmless and perennially unaccomplished old woman, mostly minding my manners because I'm just a paying guest here. Sometimes I forget. NHS workforce survivor. Prone to toxic optimism, but not deluded enough to believe that anyone can do anything if they set their mind to it or that age is just a number. Quite nice in real life.
I took up running in 2001 to do just one marathon for charity, and here I still am. I have little talent for it, but once every few years I have a brief flash of mediocrity and then burn out. Realistically, I'm more likely to become a casualty than a beneficiary of age-related attrition in the sport, but I'm not going to sit around waiting for it to happen.
