I started running 10k's in 2003/4 in an attempt to head off a "mid life crisis" before it started! When my daughter, Charlotte, joined Newark AC in 2006, it occurred to me that I may improve my performance if I joined in rather than watching.
 
My aims for the season are to get closer to 58 seconds for 400m, improve my PB for 800m, go below 5 Minutes for 1500m and sub-27 seconds for 200m.
 
Longer term aims are to go below 2:10 for 800m (not sure times on my side!) and below 40m for 10K. Not sure both are compatible!?
 
I don't do any other sports anymore. I used to do tennis and golf but they hurt by shoulder and back too much!
