If I had to describe my physicality in six words, then the above would probably be it. I've always been fairly active, but married life, a desk job, and a love of food mean that I am not really the svelte figure that I would like to be.
So when my brother-in-law came to stay a couple of months ago and said he wanted to do the Cannon Hill Parkrun (an organised timed 5k in our local park) I decided against my better judgement that I'd take up the challenge and join him.
I was really pleased with my time (28:51), given that I'd done no specific training for it, and had only decided at 10pm the night before to do it. And it's fair to say that I was bitten by running bug. And even walking like John Wayne for the next week didn't dampen my spirits!
