I just did it. First time I've run anywhere since 1987 (apart from a long a pit lane to grab more oil).

3 miles.

Primary goal was to finish, strategy was walk/run/walk/run. Secondary goal to to finish in 45 mins.

37 mins 29 seconds.

Calves a bit tight now.

Not bad to an 18.5 stone 45 year old.

Nice one.

About this time last year I was just starting to do half hour 3 milers and found them tough. Last week I did my first half marathon and came in bang on 2 hours, plenty in the bank puff wise, legs were feeling it a bit as I hadn't run that far before. Exactly as I'd planned.

Looking forward to doing another next year to see how I progress.
