Morning all,
I'm not a known name on the forums but I'm a Sydenham Local of many a year. I'm hoping that some of you will be able to give me a hand with a few things: -
1 - Do we have anyone here that goes running on a regular basis? If so, would you object to a running buddy? I'm not the worlds fastest or fittest but would like to get back into the habit. I've got no problem joining for a run once, learning the route and getting my level of fitness up if a companion with a slower pace is off putting. I'm based at Cobb's corner.
2 - Having reached the grand old age of 28 and having coped without a driving license, I think its time I rejoined the real world. Can anyone share any suggestions for a decent instructor that may not be too heavy on the wallet.
Am happy to take any questions too.
Cheers,
Steve
Running Buddy / Driving lesson suggestions
Time to give my regular plug for: http://www.crystalpalacefunrunners.co.uk
Starts at the Paxton Statue in the middle of the park 7.30pm Mondays & Wednesdays (anyone is welcome to join me at 7.20pm to run from LPG). Caters for ALL abilities - well from trotters to 7 minute milers as we group by (dis)ability. Emphasis is on fun - chatting to make the 6 to 10k runs pass pleasantly away. Nobody gets left behind and you can try us out for FREE.
Members do organise informal extra runs so it is also a good place to find buddies of a similar standard.
If you are into timed runs I should mention the recently organised and completely FREE Bromley ParkRun: http://www.parkrun.org.uk/bromley/
This is a 5k every Saturday at 9am. Times range from 17 mins (phew!) to a more sedentry 40. It is held in Norman Park - a pleasant 5 mile cycle ride from Sydenham which makes a nice warm-up. Again anybody is welcome to join me (though the weather tomorrow does look very dodgy).
