Heya Folks,
A bit about me:
I started running in the summer of '04 to lose weight - I'd become a bit of a bloater to be honest. Too much pizza, curry and chinese as well as an addiction to toast & doughnuts had left my body a wreck - a size 24 & grossly overweight for my height. I decided enough was enough, and with some help from my husband Andy, some new found willpower and a lot of exercise, I've managed to shift almost eight stone - about half my weight.
I'm now competing for Jarrow & Hebburn AC, doing canny in our local races, and I took part in the local veterans track league last year (since I turned 35 and officially became old in athletic terms lol )
Training info/logs & races: here
| 400 m | 1:16 | 10k | 43:50 |
| 800 m | 2:52 | 1 mile | 6:26 |
| 1500 m | 5:49 | 5 miles | 36:02 |
| 3000 m | 12:23 | 10 miles | 1:17:43 |
| 5000 m | 21:07 | 13.1 miles | 1:42:06 |
Not the best in the world by any stretch, but not bad either. I'm hoping for a sub 21 minute 5k next year. I've already smashed my 10k, 1 mile pb & 800m pb's, and knocked over 2 mins off my half marathon time at this years GNR.
