Whenever I was out in the car and passed joggers I would always think to myself.......I just don't get it! I could never understand the enjoyment of pounding the roads, punishing their bodies and for what purpose! My boys always ran a lot, but they had too as they were both high level athletes and so fitness and stamina were the norm. I'm a golf pro I used to say, not a athlete!! Well today I will proudly announce to the world...............I ran my first 10k and in a very respectable time of 56mins and 54 seconds!What can I say but "I LOVE RUNNING" and totally get it!
Next goal, some 5K, 8k and 10k races and later in the year a half marathon?
NB: 10k is 1000 calories burned

Fantastic, what a brilliant run/time. It should take at least a week before you stop smiling about this one. well done and good luck with your half marathon. Truly amazing
Well done on the 10k ...thats what I've got my sights on when I graduate here. Can I ask what app you are using to track your runs? I cant quite tell from your pic.
Well done, like you I used to think runners......dont get it, but now I do and I am looking forward to graduating and to facing my next running challenge
@KANdoit its the Nike + GPS app on my iphone. Quite frankly I don't think I could run without a GPS app of some description as it can really keep you motivated knowing your stats etc.
@ gypsydepp, my mates think I'm nuts and nothing I say can convince them to run with me

I don't like running!
I'm just not the same person any more. But I don't mind a bit. :)
I have just run 6k! 😃
Getting slower and I don't know why, can you help?
