Running Clubs
Too late, old chap. I went out and did 5 miles at lunchtime while the sun was still glimmering.

I'm definitely going to try some club running but I'm in this conundrum where I think I'd like to get a bit faster/lose a few more pounds before I do, and yet it's in order to be able to do those things that I want to join a club in the first place....

The local small group say they run about 5 miles at 10 min mile pace which is just a shade faster than normal for me (currently around 10:15 - 10:30). I'm tempted to wait a bit, or join one of the larger clubs first where I may be less conspicuous.

There are a couple of running clubs round Yate way. I wonder if the Hogweeds are new? They don't ring a bell. I used to occasionally jog round the track at that sports centre next to the school, and I seem to remember seeing a poster up there saying that certain local running clubs have the track booked on certain nights. There was one group called the Chipping Sodbury [Somethings], and another lot called (I think) the Yate Road Runners or similar. I never joined either.

I'd be interested to hear your experiences if you do join. I'm sure it's a positive step forward.
