Nearly 50 and have taken up jogging :)
Flyaway:
I tend to be a fair weather jogger - have not been out for a couple of weeks due to the weather and having just started a University course as well as working. Been doing it for a few years, never very far- about 3 miles and pretty slow about 13 minutes per mile but I do enjoy being out in the countryside. Plan to go 3 times a week but usually only manage twice (none at the mo!) and I'm 51 next week.

Hi fellow potential joggers!
Have been laid low with a horrible cold for a week but got out there again today and yesterday..one walk and one (short) run.
I'm sure it's true that walking is better for you and I enjoy it much more but I'm really short of time and running feels like the easiest way to get some exercise quickly (and cheaply!)
I really feel like I need to keep exercising to keep my anxiety at bay.
How are you getting on Minuette?
Donna

I'm getting on really well thanks Donna, sorry to hear you've had a cold.
This is now my third week running and I'm loving it! I started the Couch to 5K this week, which basically gets you from being a couch potato to running a 5k in 9 weeks and I'm thinking of signing myself up for the Race for Life in July which will be a great achievement.
I've found that when I'm walk/running that it really clears my mind and I'm not really thinking of anything at all, it's a great break from the day to day stresses I've found. I'm still in the very early stages and I've got a long way to go but the buzz I get from it is terrific.
So do you run outside? I ran outside for the first 2 weeks, but we're back home now and I'm on a treadmill.
Flyaway - what University course have you started? I'm doing an OU course.
Flyaway:
Hi i've still not got back to running - the weather has been way too cold and the Uni work has been a little overwhelming!
I'm doing a foundation degree in health and social care with rehabilitation - one day a week off work to study and attend a tutorial at uni, the rest at work so like the open university a lot of it is online/self directed study etc.
Not having done any formal learning for 30 years its a bit of a steep learning curve!
I'm going to leave it to March and then get back to running.
Well done to everyone who is pounding the streets/treadmill :D

How far is 5K :-\
