Hi all

[Berksrover]

Very new runner really, started C25K at the beginning of April, graduated end of May, consolidated for a few weeks, started ju-ju- 10 is the magic number at the end of June, completed my first 10k 2 weeks ago, my first sub 30 min 5k a week later and now looking to gradually increase my distance, no real ambition to run a marathon but do like to push myself to achieve new things. I use strava (Steve Kendrick) and today is my 58th birthday!

I am never running a marathon ever! But I have done a couple of halfs my favourite distance is between 8 and 10 miles.

Park runs are fun too, just done my 50th.

Thanks, no run yesterday I am afraid but managed a pretty unsatisfactory 6k this morning, the week can only get better!
