Never ran in my life till last March when I decided I wanted to run a 10k before I was 50. I completed C25K in June and achieved my goal in October when I ran the great Scottish run 1h18mins. Not going to break any records but did run for the full race. But since then I fell away ending up doing nothing till this week when I finally gave myself a shake. Just done a 4K in 27 mins slow and steady and I hope to get back into the groove. Oh and I’m sure this guy passed my at one point on the steep hill 😂

Welcome back GRoy. I did the same as you, training and doing a 10k when I was 50. Took me 12 years to get back to running though! So well done you in only leaving it 7 months.
I think that snail 🐌 passed me this morning.Keep up the good work.

Well done for restarting. Hopefully you can plan your next run and enjoy it. Take it one at a time.

The snail was a subtle nod to not eating "fast" food 😋
