Well I didn't die, I just stopped posting after graduating 5k, then I've been injury after injury, so a year since I started I'm still at 5k , not to worry though I regularly do the great run local needham lake 5k and my time is getting better. I just signed up for a 10 miler (Tarpley 10) end of Feb with my daughter whose also at 5k, training is going ok but aching. Glad to be back.

Good to hear from you Paul. That's really bad luck with the injuries. We've had some drastic ones on here. Oldfloss even managed to break some ribs, not running though thank goodness. Well done letting yourself get coerced into a 10 miler. The good thing about Feb is that you won't have to worry about over-heating!

That sounds good but be careful. It is so icy here I'm not sure I'll risk running tomorrow. Friend of mine slipped on her bike yesterday, broke an ankle and needs an operation now, poor thing.

I'm well into my 5th year of running but not at 10 miles (yet... it might come)

Good to see you're back and most of all that, despite all the injuries, you still have the running habit.
