You know you're getting old when...........................

Post by Stewart Pearson »

A child you held in your arms as a 1 week old baby is on the TV running in the European Championship Athletics.

Happened about 1 hour ago, when Elidh Child ran in the finals of the womens 400m hurdles.

Old? Right now I feel ancient!

Hmmmm. Are you claiming that the early coaching that you gave here helped? Maybe it could be that you scared her so much that she is still running! :lol:

I noticed that I am getting old, too, as I became uncle for the 10th time this week. :shock:

It's even funny when you tell those young kids about the times before "The Wall came down". My 5 year old nethew asked me if it did hurt anybody. :lol:

Aye, I might still be feeling ancient, but today also very very proud.

The wee lassie I knew got Silver in the Commenwealth Games 400m hurdles.

Saor Alba Elidh!!!!
