About Me
I started running in 2004, in order to run FLM 2005 on a charity place - from zero to 26.2 miles in 6 months! It can be done, even at 50, and since then I have continued running, and like it more and more. I particularly like off-road running, and don't even mind mud - what a change from the long ago school cross country sessions, that I would do anything to avoid. Show more...
