An "I can do that" moment

Have you ever had one of those “I can do that” moments? I have had a few in my lifetime; one was in 1988 when watching the London marathon on TV. I have a picture of myself finishing the London marathon in 1989. Between those two events there was an awful lot of blood sweat and tears not to mention black toenails pulled muscles and many more aches and pains. I went back to London in 1992 and took thirty minutes off my first time. Several marathons, half marathons ten milers ten kilometre races and a host of off road races later I still enjoy the fun of running but the competitive edge has long gone. I find walking is too slow and takes too much time out of the day. A ten mile run on Sunday morning and three runs in the week to make up a target of around twenty five miles for the week are fine. A far cry from the six days and forty plus mile weeks we used to do. That’s called older, wiser and slower not to mention heavier. Unfortunately other issues seem to mean that this is not always possible such as gardening and writing.
