Here goes!

I am the most unlikely person to do this, everyone else in my family into sport but I’m the watcher. I want to be on the other side! Never have I ever ran, last time was walking the 400m at school and I’m 46 now. Just want to prove I can do a 5k in 9 weeks and have an enviable hobbie ... so as I say here goes 😅

Go for it. My new saying is never say never. My family were amazed and that’s what kept me going👍

Congratulations on joining the best running club in the world. 46 makes you a veritable spring chicken, so BexCanRun, just under a year ago, I signed up as JanCanRun and I can, and I do and I love it.

I sincerely hope it’s the same for you.

Best of luck and happy running
