Hi one and all!! Please find below the original introduction to the original DFW running club.

Due to length we have had to start afresh but Fermi has agreed to post a link so the wealth of information that was avaialble for new comers and experienced runners alike doesn't get lost.

Please please, if you are new to running, don't be put off by technical jargon, We ALWAYS without exception welcome new comers and will give you all the support you need!!

And to the regulars, keep that help support and information coming guys! you're all stars.

At the request of several members here on the DFW board, I have pleasure in starting the Debt Free Wannabe Running Club!The idea being that we all have goals we wish to reach, some being financial, others being weight loss, getting fit etc.

So heres the place to get the motivation to do it!!:j

Firstly, Let us know what your goal is, Ie running a half marathon, being able to run for half hour without stopping, doing 30 sit ups etc then we can share progress reports, any training hints and tips and generally get a kick up the proverbial to get off the sofa and go do it!!!:rotfl:
(goodness knows i need a boot right now so could be accused of being slightly self indulgent with the thread!:T )

If there are enough people we could even do an evening or a sunday run.

We all know Gyms are/can be Mega expensive so here's the cheaper option and you'll get loads of support from us all.

So who's in?!:beer:

Have fun

AND IN THE SLIGHTLY ADULTERATED WORDS OF STRICTLY COME DANCING>>>


KEEEEEEP RUNNING!!!!:D

    Its like having your house put on the back of a low loader and moved one day and then demolished and rebuilt the next!:p

    Now this would be interesting, if only they could get rid of the cancer causing part of it:

    Good morning all :-) So as not to be one of those who joins then disappears, I'll get my foot in the door of this shiny new thread on pg1 :-D
    My running partner was ill last week, but I took myself off on Tuesday and did just over 5k. Yesterday she was feeling better so we did our usual 4.7 miles.
    Looking forward to the Cancer Research 10K on 18th October at Harewood!! (any chance I can be named and shamed on the big list?!)
    Thanks
