Running
 

I have been a keen runner on and off for 7 years, ranging from training 6-7 days a week and clocking up 40 miles, to doing sod all for weeks. I started running to train for orienteering, oh and because my friend Nev said that I couldn't.

I run with Headington Road Runners, which is a very friendly club and caters for the very talented right down to the very slow like me. My finest hour was running the Reading Half Marathon in 1h 54 min, more recently I ran the New York Marathon in 2003 taking 4 hours and 15 min.  I may do another marathon in 2005, possibly Abingdon.

I have also done quite a few long things recently including the KIMM mountain marathon, a 17 mile LDWA, the Grizzly 20 mile, the LAMM mountain marathon in June 2003 "read my LAMM report here", and the SLMM mountain marathon in July 2003 "read my SLMM report here".  I have really enjoyed these and hope to do lots more between now and the marathon. 

I have also been Hashing a few times with Guildford and Oxford OH3.  Its fun and alcoholic, give it a try.
