After only starting running 3 months ago, I ran my first 10k this morning in 46min 42sec. Really pleased with myself. Aiming to run a marathon in May 2007.

It's impossible to wipe the smile off my face!
 
Mate thats an Awesome time for 3 months training.

I couldnt beat that.
 
Great job man! I am aiming to run a marathong myself in September of 07. You are a little more ambitious than me running one in May...LOL

I started my training about 2 weeks ago. Best of luck to you!
 
I`m impressed with your time. I`m hoping to enter my first marathon which is the belfast Marathon in May 07. I`ve lost alot of weight and been training hard but I know its gonna be a killer when I finally get into the proper thing. I hate the cold dark nights at the moment so I dont run on the roads, just do gym work, so hopefully the winter wont last too long. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations! I also did my first 10k run on 3 Dec 2006, in 54min 53 sec. Couldn't train much to prepare myself for this run. I had back pain and was not able to run for several months...until I saw an ostheopath in Sep 06. She said I have disc degeneration on my back (at my age?!?). So, I spent 2 months recovering from the treatment.

I hope to run a half-marathon in Dec 07, but it'll depend if my back can take it.
 
thanks for the support guys!

IrishRich - I'll see you at the belfast marathon, that's the one I'm planning to do as well

derwyddon - I'm actually in a triathlon club as well, so the goal is to do a marathon in may, then a few sprint distance triathlons between june and august. olympic distance next year.

falco - I'm not aiming for a great time or anything, just under 4 hours and I'll be happy! I have an 18-week plan which means I start training properly on Jan 1st for a May 7th (i think) marathon. gonna have to cut down the swimming/cycling for a few months unfortunately.

Best of luck to you bud. Keep us posted on your progress.
 
Damn very good job man. After three months I'm only running five miles in 45 minutes, so looks like you're beating me
