23 May 2004 How It All Began

A group of girls from work said, lets do the Race for Life its only 5k. So, on 23rd May 2004 I did my first 5k at Tatton Park in Cheshire.
Unfortunately, as it was my first, I just couldn't run, so I did a bit of attempted jogging and fast walking. My finishing time 51:52.

I was pleased with that, enjoyed it and decided what a great way to get fit and lose weight. Unfortunately my job meant I sat at my desk for 10 hour shifts, with 2 hours driving, so very unhealthy.
