I started running on Hogmanay 07 to get into shape for the Nairn 10k which was at the beginning of March 08.

I had not run in about 15 years and was so pathetic that I couldn't even join the running club that goes out 2 or 3 times a week.

I went onto the Hal Higdon website and he does fantastic training schedules for 5k, 10k, right up to marathons. I stuck to it, did the 10k in exactly one hour and felt great.

I still go out running but can't commit to certain nights or else I would happily join you. Good luck!

Had never realised there was a Mey 10k until you mentioned it. Is this something new or has it been on before?

I have been thinking exactly the same thing but i'm in Wick! Have been going to the gym regularly but would be nice to have someone to train with!

Didn't know about the Mey run, i've been looking for something to aim for and would love to give it a try.

Will definately look into it!
