I'm just back from my longest run (I suspect in my entire life) of just more than 6kms, in my first 20km week! 3 months ago, if I'd tried to run 6kms they'd have had to send me to A&E for my recovery lap... Big grin

Slow and steady ~~wins the race~~ means a lot of fast people pass you.

Congratulations, bikerscott! You got that "yeaaaah, bay-beeee" afterglow of accomplishment, and rightfully so.

Aaaaah, the SirenSong of many runners, especially those just starting out. It took me four years and a bunch of aches, pains, and injuries to figure out that everything,....EVERYTHING,......frequency, time, pace, distance.....has to be incremental. And I mean _small_ increments. Keep reading these forums, be a quick study, and you'll be able to enjoy running for a long time.
