Andrew version 2.0

Hooray, week 3 completed!! This running lark is proving to be far more fun than I had ever anticipated. Over the years I have taken great pleasure in watching red faced puffing people struggling down the road, sweating heavily and looking dishevelled whilst I drove passed them to the chip shop or got a lift to the pub (usually less than five minutes walk from wherever I happened to be living at the time). Surely that can't be good for you I thought with my finger pressed firmly on the irony button.

Wind the clock forward to 2017 and here I am, not a born again fitness fanatic, but a reprogrammed 47 year old man with three kiddies aged 10 and under who would like their Daddy to hang around for a while, playing football, reading stories, being jumped on. Well just being there with less prospect of suddenly not being there.

3 weeks after stepping out of my front door full of doubts I now find myself looking forward to the 5:15am alarm on Monday and the beginning of week 4 and the mid point of this fabulous endeavour.

Great post, well done. Nothing like running with the grim reaper in your rear view mirror

Go for it!

Well done! I'm 60 later this year and having had various health problems thought it was about time to get fitter. I don't find it easy, but I do feel better for doing it. My kids are grown up but I still think it's good for them to see me achieve stuff. After all, if an old so and so like me can, there should be no stopping them ;). Enjoy week 4.
