Running for fun and for the gold !

I've always done some running, but life gets in the way. Marriage. Children. Work. You know what it's like.

You get a little bit unfit. Only natural.

Think I hit around 25 years of age and thought that I'd soon be 30 and that spurred me onto starting to run. Firstly, for pleasure. Building it up from 3 miles to 5 miles, then onto 10 miles - I like round figures!

I've been part of a few annual races over the years, just over 6 miles distance, in around 42 minutes.

Always good to get a t-shirt and a medal !

I run a few times a week.

A nice hobby. Were you athletic as a child?

@PoetryNEmotion Playing football (soccer to the American contingent on here) in the park with friends, up until around 16. Cross country running from, like, 13 or so. That was mainly it back then. But I love watching sport - the techniques, the dedication etc. Impressive.
@MarkRichardson I excelled in cross country. And I played competitive soccer in my early 50' s.
