Brian Conroy: "I was persuaded to join the beginners course 4 years ago by Terri my daughter in-law who had just signed up.I was apprehensive on my first run as at 55 years old I thought it might have been out of my league.I was made to feel very welcome and even on my first run the club president Colin Hughes ran with me and offered encouragement and support.From that day on I was hooked on running and have never looked back.In my first year I managed to run the Great North Run and the Liverpool half marathon.Since then I have done lots of 10k runs half marathons and last year the Edinburgh full marathon.The sense of achievement is wonderful and I will never forget the feeling I had when crossed the line on my first big race.But it is not just the running that makes this sport attractive it,s the friends you make.I have met some smashing people while running from Heath on Mondays and Thursday and had some good social times as well.The real bonus is running keeps you fit in body and mind keeps your weight down and your self esteem high. We have a level at Stainland lions for all who would like to try running so please do not feel you will not be able to cope.Come down and give it a try I am sure you will not be disappointed."|
