Therapy group ….

Some of the veterans… basically you have to be over 35 to join the vets , well they actually call it Masters now as veterans wasn’t as nice sounding , I don’t actually care though. You don’t all compete in one mass age group it’s all done in 5 year increments.. as I’m 53 I would compete ( eventually) in W50 , women 50 to the day before your 55th birthday .. Tigger is our youngest member, he is 36 so he’s M35 . You are allowed to drop down age groups but you can’t competed in the older ones as obviously it gives you the advantage… it’s all really really good fun and I love the camaraderie. Tonight we did 200m practice … we spend 40 minutes on the correct ‘drills’ ( intensive warm up ) because setting off on a sprint can be fairly violent on one’s joints .

Also today I saw Top Gun at the cinema… controversially I actually cannot stand the first Top Gun film and I really really dislike Tom Cruise . Having said that this film is very good because I absolutely love the fighter jets and I’m fairly keen on things getting blown up . Pint size idiot Tom Cruise is fairly over shadowed by some young people who I thought were splendid. In a nutshell despite him being in it the film is not bad at all !!!
