After only starting running 3 months ago, I ran my first 10k this morning in 46min 42sec. Really pleased with myself. Aiming to run a marathon in May 2007.

It's impossible to wipe the smile off my face!
 
Great job man! I am aiming to run a marathong myself in September of 07. You are a little more ambitious than me running one in May...LOL

I started my training about 2 weeks ago. Best of luck to you!
 
I`m impressed with your time. I`m hoping to enter my first marathon which is the belfast Marathon in May 07. I`ve lost alot of weight and been training hard but I know its gonna be a killer when I finally get into the proper thing. I hate the cold dark nights at the moment so I dont run on the roads, just do gym work, so hopefully the winter wont last too long. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! I also did my first 10k run on 3 Dec 2006, in 54min 53 sec. Couldn't train much to prepare myself for this run. I had back pain and was not able to run for several months...until I saw an ostheopath in Sep 06. She said I have disc degeneration on my back (at my age?!?). So, I spent 2 months recovering from the treatment.

I hope to run a half-marathon in Dec 07, but it'll depend if my back can take it.
 
thanks for the support guys!

IrishRich - I'll see you at the belfast marathon, that's the one I'm planning to do as well

derwyddon - I'm actually in a triathlon club as well, so the goal is to do a marathon in may, then a few sprint distance triathlons between june and august. olympic distance next year.

falco - I'm not aiming for a great time or anything, just under 4 hours and I'll be happy! I have an 18-week plan which means I start training properly on Jan 1st for a May 7th (i think) marathon. gonna have to cut down the swimming/cycling for a few months unfortunately.
