Thinking about one is about as far as I get.

Started off the new year with the Kingston parkrun, bit of a cross country course after all the recent rain but lovely warmish sunshine to run in.

Well, if you can run a marathon there's not much else I can tell you! about the only tip I can offer is, enjoy your running!
You are not the only one finding it hard to get back into it ...
Anyway. Moral support. (((Harmony Hope)))

Aw thanks Blackbeard - great to have that support! Unfortunately since I posted shortly after my return to running I've had a horrible cold and cough and so it's been all I can do to keep walking yet alone running! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
But I'm not giving up and hope to be back to it soon? I seem to remember that you run marathons -any planned this year?

No marathons planned at present - my last one of those was about a quarter of a century ago!
but I have entered a half marathon (the easy half) for 17 March

I have agreed to do the Watford half marathon on 3rd of February. A group of us at work run at lunchtimes and one of my colleagues had entered for this race but has to withdraw so I said I would do it. My first attempt at a half, they have pacerunners which is good. I am hoping they have one for my target time, as I am not very good at judging how fast to run so following someone will be useful.
