Profile
Jamie (noun) - Formerly found in the local pub, now more often found loitering around road races trying to look awesome.

Was minding my own business training for 2009s BUPA Manchester 10k, when suddenly I made lots of friends and started enjoying running. From there it was a slippery slope, volunteering in the inaugural Heaton parkrun, joining a training group for my first half marathon, and then finally entering my first marathons.

Madness.

I've now set aside any hopes for a normal social life in the pursuit of trying to get good at this running lark. Although I still eat loads of rubbish (and cake), and lack motivation some days, and am bound to have my eye turned by some handsome bloke one day, so I'll never be elite

Confirmed my status as a 'real' runner by joining Belle Vue Racers in May 2010, who seem generally like a good bunch. Poor things don't know what they've taken in with me
