Do you have any?

I've been meaning to take up running for the past two years - seems very middle class, less you're wearing jeans and running from the police.

Tried cycling - caused all sorts of laughter when wearing lycra.

Planned on becoming a Rock Star the once, bought the guitar, bought the book - 'How to play the guitar - for dummies'

Need some excitement. Might try skydiving.

this.

I like pool. Snooker is good too, although after three frames it feels like I've walked five miles.

Too much of a Health and Safety issue to stick a dart board in my local.

Went snooker yesterday and managed a 5-1 victory over the oppo! In the pub, with beer, naturally.

I like running or walking - I have two very energetic dogs and miles of National Trust on my doorstep. Makes a nice change from being in front of a computer all day.

Edit: Is it Friday yet?

There are a couple of races in West Yorkshire which would be right up your street Mickdundee.

The first is a keg race, it's only a short race which requires you to transport a keg up an incline to finish at the pub.
(cheap delivery service)

The other from memory can be done as a solo event or teams but it's a pub crawl which you have to run from one pub to the next - no point in wasting time and then once you've necked your pint it's off to the next.

For me hills are for running up!

there's nothing wrong with a bit of lifting i mostly do a mix of weightlifting, powerlifting and crossfit type working out at the gym, twice a week. keep meaning to start running again but would need to get another pair of decent running shoes

Language barrier could be a problem as well?

Thought you might be up for some culture!

Have you passed a £10 a pint yet?

I'm also a runner. Hills is my thing too. This is my Sunday sorted - http://www.hayhotfooters.co.uk/magicroundabout.htm
If you are serious about getting started then many clubs have 0-5k groups which often leading to running a parkrun (www.parkrun.org)

Bertie

I'd like to be able to run 10 km in a reasonable time.

Running seems like the perfect exercise.

May try the couch to 5k and go from there.

West Yorkshire is a bit far for me. I'm sure my profile states London or some other southern city



There are two pub crawls worth doing in WY - Otley run and Ale Trail. And no lifting involved.

Yep, the IP you got yourself after we banned you was in Slough I believe. Though we all know you're in Castleford, really.
