I'm not too far away from you on the Berks/Wilts border and quite often attend races in the Reading area, hopefully we will get to meet before long.
The Park run 5k series (www.parkrun.com) has a new location thats starts in Reading tomorrow - and then every Saturday at 9am -a nice gentle introduction to racing.
All the best for your running and welcome to the club.
Hi Andrew. I joined the club a year ago for very similar reasons to you - two young kids and having to fit in training either very early morning or very late at night.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the motivation that the club and all its fine members offer. The Grand Prix alone is a good way of setting yourself targets.
