******* politics. I rarely come to the non football chat section any longer, but nice to see good threads like this one going.
I'm carrying a bit - the result of being happily married, but I'm starting to fight back a bit.
Did my first half earlier this year and had three targets;
1. Finish
2. Finish without having to walk
3. Run 13.2 sub ten minute miles.
Im pleased to say i managed all three, which, at probably the heaviest runner in the line up (16 and a half stone), I was quite pleased with.One thing that really impressed me were some of the old ladies, just gliding past me at the age of 70+, genuine a sight to behold.
Alas, it was in March and I've slackened off a bit, but been a few times in the past couple of weeks, and whereas a half is realistically too far for someone of my build to be going, I'm slowly getting back into regular running (and now tennis!).
Only problem is my achilles tendons. They don't half hurt a lot!
