At least, that's what an older (65ish) lady said to me on my run the other day. She literally put her arm out to stop me. I stopped, paused my watch thinking she needed help, directions or whatever. She then said, in a thick German accent (not that that matters) "Runnink eeze not good for you". I said I disagree and so does my doctor. She said we were both terribly misinformed. So I (lied) said my dad is 95 and hasn't missed a day of running. She said again..."Runnink ezze no good for heeeere" - pointing to her midsection, hips, legs. Weird
I said listen, you don't look so good for your age, YOU should start running or you won't last much longer. I ran off too fast to get her response to that.
Ironically (coincidentally?) Anita, running later that same day, took a walk break and an elderly lady said to her..."Keep running dear, I wish I still could"
Strange days.
