I'm an athlete (?)

[old_git]

(Well I joined an athletics club).

Groucho Marx said "I wouldn't want to belong to any club that would have me as a member", however, I went out for a run with the local athletics club and was made really welcome.

They did a 5k run and cheered me over the line when I finished. Managed a PB (just over 28 mins) and wasn't last, so was well chuffed.

They have training events most days and a real mix of ages and abilities. Hoping this will help to take me forward now that Laura has got me to this stage.

That sounds like a great way to advance your running and athletics adventures.

You most certainly are now an athlete and the club just proves it
