Pace yourself

It was Southampton’s marathon and half marathon today and conveniently the route came right past my front door. I took lots of photos. My friend Ruth was running and I was scanning the runners for her but I somehow managed not to see her until she was running past me, much fumbling ensued as I tried to take a photo and she ended up running backwards so I could snap her! My blip isn’t that photo of her but one of a group of runners passing by me, I hadn’t realised at the time that there was an elderly woman walking along the pavement as the runners were running by, it makes a great juxtaposition and commentary on ageing I thought.
