ok....im joining running club tomorrow

[chrispackhamslovebunny]

and i am unreasonably nervous!

wish me luck please!
i am fat-( ish) i am not very fit. i am old. and i am only able to run for 30 mins without the need of a ventilator!

but i am going to heave my ass off the couch and go join at 6.30pm tomorrow....i hope i get a warm welcome!

anyone else a member of a club? what can i expect?

I'm a great fan of running clubs because I like my one so much! I could do about 7k when I joined and now I am running half marathons and about 15 miles a week..... I'm not whippet thin, or speedy, but I'm a healthy weight for my height, and running is fun even at a moderate speed.

I would suggest you enter a 10k now, even if it's not till spring. That will help haul you out on the days when the enthusiasm has died down a bit.

thanks fridayschild thats a good plan, but the club have said i have to keep going until january before they let me join properly - i think they just need to see if im committed or not, if i keep going i can join then and pay the fees and sign up proper.

ill probably enter at the same time, that will give me about 4 months to get whipped into 10k shape!

its really quite exciting! ( i wish i thought that at around 2 miles in! but there you go!) [hgrin]

4 miles tonight. yay! [hgrin]
