 Posted: 05/19/04 - 16:11 Post subject: I'm new here
Just a post to say hi & let you know who i am.
I am a decathlete from England. 2.00m high jumper, 50m+ jav etc.
I compete for Bolton United Harriers.
My 1500 PB is about 4mins 40. (a bit lame i know).
Also, i am the assistant manager of a specialist running shop, and believe my knowledge of running equipment to be very good. (just bought a pair of NB717, NEED THE SUPPORT  ).
Just trying to get over a bad ankle injury at the moment, been 4 months now. Starting to show some signs of improvement at last.
Aims for this season? To get fit before the end and get back to regular competition.
