    Yup, go for it :j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I was going to suggest a race of some sort. I think it's a brilliant idea! :D

    You're so focused! Well done on maintaining too. I have toyed with the idea of increasing distance from 5k but haven't stepped out of my comfort zone yet.

    Thanks Alchemilla,
    CathT, I'm going to do 1-2 short runs a week and one longer. Building the longer one up, that is my plan after reading up last few days. Have found quite a useful website called mapometer, where I can work out routes and it then tells you how far it is. Today woke up early again which is a nuisance as generally feeling tired, so went for a 30 min run, got soaked.
    Skiing later, quite excited.
