Hi folks it is two years to the day since I got up off the couch and started to run, well I called it running more of a slow jog really. I ran for just 1.56 miles, which took me 23 minutes at 14:25 pace. But I was delighted with this. I ached and hurt for days afterward. Since that day I have moved on, I have now run 213 times for a total of 1220 miles at an average pace of 10:29. 207 hours of running. This includes 4 10K and 4 half marathon races.
Today to celebrate I ran the same route as my first run, today I managed get round in 13:23 I make that a pace of 8:35. As it's not worth going out for 1.56 I ran round a couple of more times just to finish off.
The reason for this post is simple, I want to say thanks for all the help, advice and encouragement I have received on MFP especially from you lot in the running group, I couldn't have done it without you all.
