Parkrun
I've just found out about parkrun where 5k runs are organised on a weekly basis in a lot of local parks. My nearest is at Southwick and they have a free 5k race every Saturday morning. It might be worth a look on their web page at parkrun.org.uk, free to register and take part.

I just noticed that my trousers no longer need to sit on my hips, they fit above my hips closer to where my waist is starting to appear.
