I'd drifted away from an on-line presence, apart from the odd dip into Facebook. But I'm hunting down some motivation, and this worked way back when I managed to drag myself through C25K, so here I am, back again. roseabi's July challenge seemed like a good way to dip my toe back in, so here you go. 
Q: Please attach a picture, doesn't have to be of you if you don't want - but tell us here: what is the picture about?
A: Me finishing the River Thames Half in 2016.
Q: Tell us a little bit about you!
A: 51 year old data geek living in Leicestershire. Hobbies include scuba diving and buggering about with motorbikes.
Q: How long have you been a runner?
A: Coming up to eight years. On and off.
Q: Did you start running with a C25K programme? Why or why not?
A: Yes, it's all Laura's fault!
Q: But what made you want to start running races?
A: Entering races is good motivation, can provide some structure to training and they're really good for monitoring progress. Certainly not in it to win...
Q: What's it like to run in your area?
A: Reasonably flat, although there are some lumps. I've got quite a few off-road tracks to play with as well as some quiet roads.
Q: What is your favourite race event so far? And why?
A: York 10k. I've run it twice. York is one of my favourite cities and the course is really nice.
Q: What are your favourite mid-race snack, and post-race meal?
A: Jelly babies. One every half mile after mile five. Post race? Don't care, just bring me food! And coffee.
Q: Name a favourite running website (plus link, please!):
A: Not really big on running websites.
Q: What's next for you, running-wise?
A: Brighton Marathon 2019. There's a 10k and a half marathon planned along the way too, but Brighton's the goal.
where do i go from here...?
