been 4 weeks since I got back to Preston, 3 of which I've been running/Cycling. Only doing 1 1/2 miles of running, and 4 cycling. just getting into the spirit of things.
Lindsey called, and said would I like to do Winter Hill 8 mile, 1700ft. Being a bloke, I said "Yeah! No problem, will beat you to the top"
From a complete beginner, to wherever I am now. A blog about running. Alan Raby..

20 cigs a day...
...England playing in the world cup, and I gave up the cancer sticks. Going to need every breath I can take for this running lark!
Managed 1 1/2Miles in 15 Minutes, not bad for me.

The start
Well not so much the start, but a brief history in time of my start!
It all started with my move back to Preston, from Stroud, gloucs. Upon arriving back, I caught up with an old friend of my, Lindsey. She thought it a good idea that a bit of exercise in my life would be an idea, and so undertook to punish me....
As a bit of background, I will say I could run a mile in about 10 minutes, but that was as far as I could go. Was smoking 20 cigs a day, drinking like a fish and ate hamburgers for Breakfast. Ok maybe a little poetic licence there.
At 13 stone - 12, I was neither fat nor slim.
(please note this was the start of June)
and so it begins....
