Hi - just joined, so I thought I should do as I was asked and introduce myself.
I'm fast approaching my mid-forties, and have been running on and off for a number of years - as much to keep the weight down as anything else ! After some persistent knee problems, I'm just getting into running again - now with a bit more purpose since getting the Nike+ipod system (just approaching my first 100 miles). I'm running more frequently and for longer distances since joining in a challenge against the USA called "The race across the pond" (See http://runpl.us/forum/discussion/193/1/race-across-the-pond/ - the UK are a fair bit behind at the mo., so I'm sure that any Nike+ users on this forum would be most welcome to join in.
I've tried to get into the London marathon 3 times (without success
) but, providing the knee problems don't return, I hope to apply again next year for 2008.
Cheers,
Neil
