After many, many years absence from running, I had a moment of pure insanity tonight ... I put on my running shoes and got out and about with my dog. I managed 2.84 miles (around the winter time lap in Dunmow) in ... wait for it ...
33 mins 17 secs!!!
Only slighter faster than a hedgehog BUT the first time that I've attempted that sort of distance in 10 years or more and I didn't stop (honest). I'm so pleased.

Hi Gary,
Well done for getting those running shoes out from the back of the cupboard - the smell of mothballs must have been almost overpowering!!! Not sure where you started your measurement or time but sadly the course is only about 2.4 miles so guess you must have measured from your house which explains the time with that uphill finish.
Hope to see you out on a Wednesday night with the rest of us and you can join Richard and me in the "Not so fast" group which is great fun and can be quite sociable.

well....... i guess you'll have to include a new section on the website. (Aswell as the NEW PB's section), called the 'TOO FAST FOR A P.B' section then!! How about that?!

I have taken over keeping these records up to date - Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
I think I have captured all your achievements but being only a mere mortal have probably missed something, if so just post the details and I will make the necessary changes.

This is one going back to March this year - Essex 20 3.14.28. May not be a great time, but it's the best time I have for a 20 so far. Come to think of it, probably the only time I will get for a 20 so it will always be a PB.

Another PB for me. Mablethorpe Half Marathon today 1.54.49 all thanks to my 2 Mr Motivators, otherwise known as hubby and Ian Baines - Thank you guys for keeping me going for the last 3 miles. And a special thank you to our supporters, Amanda, Daniel and Adam who had the special job of holding the jellybabies.
