I too, only have one knee....

So I found the "create post" button - a year of firsts - first marathon, first blog post, but not much encouragement - cold burns and pain all round are not reassuring me. I am following the muppet's guide called "how to run a marathon" and having started at 3 minutes some time last year when it seemed like a good idea to fill out the form, I am now at significantly more than that and realising why its called " no pain, no gain".  Anyone got anything positive to say?!
