happy anniversary to me

this time 3 years ago, I was inebriated and basking in the glory of having just completed my first ever 10K run....

Ah, I remember it like it was yesterday. The culmination of the long, hot, summer of 2006: the training, the fund raising, the regular blogging..... How we all wish for those days again, especially given I was still a relative whippersnapper at the time.

Still, I now have the half marathon to look forward to (widely accepted as the sexier, cooler, younger brother of long, boring, actual marathon running). Apparently it'll take me 10 weeks to get in shape to do a 1:50, meaning I can kick back and relax until mid-January. Happy days.

I think you can agree, the 3 years haven't aged me, err, one bit...... Certainly haven't improved my post-race poses anyway...
