The three runs challenge by michael_h

Hello

I've created this blog to record my thoughts as I start on a three run challenge. My aim is to run a 10-miler (the Great South Run), a half-marathon (Reading), and a full marathon (London or New York would be nice!).

I took up running in August 2008 ... well, power walking to start with, then some run/walking. It took me nearly 9 weeks before I could run for 30 minutes without stopping.

Now it's part of my daily life ...

I'm currently recovering froma calf injury.
