There are many reasons why people take up running........Maybe it's the challenge of trying to run a certain distance?....or just want to get fitter?........or because they just want to join in some activity with their friends?.......or trying to lose a bit of weight?
I came across this video of Ben Davis. He started running to change his life...

Wow it was obviously a long road
but what a difference a year made to him.
Goes to show what belief brings !!!!
John you will have us all crying very emotional stuff there. But what an inspiration Ben is! My OH was skipping his run today but has just gone out thanks to that video!
Thanks for bring it to my attention, brillain clip, I loved it.
Just do it - it's simple as that. Check out this guy who went from a 16.5 stone smoker to a 2:19 marathoner in two and a half years - http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VCkw-gSnLjc
Thanks for the links. Inspiring stuff... it IS always possible, whatever the weight or ability. I'm not quite in those guys' leagues, but I went from an almost 18-stone pizza-muncher in 2008 to a sub-4 marathoner (almost 6 stone lighter) 1 week ago in Limerick (not to mention a 4:15 marathon in Cork last year). Marathon #3 coming up in 4 weeks in Cork!!! It's amazing what can happen with just a pair of runners and some open road.
My story is something similar, I have lost 9 stone in the last 15months and doing the Cork Marathon this year. I am hoping for a sub 4 hours, indeed there is hope, I will do it. See me on face book ...William Gerard O Brien. I have gone from 122 Kgs to 71 kgs to day.
Hi John,
Just looked at your online race calendar.
I noted that the Churchtown South 5m race is on 28th July.
Is this date correct - the Thurs before the Bank Holiday weekend?
Booked a family holiday and have only realised the dates have clashed.
Please advise
Thanks
That's the correct date for the Churchtown 5...28th July at 8pm.
