Well 9 weeks ago i posted on here about being to old to start running ( the ripe old age of 48) and i was amazed about the number of replies from the good people on here telling me that this no age at all and to give it a go. Well last night i graduated completing my 5k in 27min.37's the past weeks have been hard, fun challenging, painful, inspiring but most of all i would not have got through it without reading the posts on here ! everyday it was great to read how other people where getting on and the support that they received was really inspiring. So a big thank you to all my fellow runners , time to start training now for the Lincoln 10k in March.

Hi People, Thanks for all the comments i am really pleased with my time. I was telling the people at work today how 9 weeks ago i would look at the people out running and wonder why ? and now i wonder how long, how fast etc. Ive really caught the bug and to all the people just starting good luck you don't know what you getting in to !! ( all the positive stuff). As for the Lincoln 10k misswobble i dont know if you go up or down steep hill but either way i am going to give it a go.
