About Me


Alan Jenkin A runner, undistinguished but persevering, I am more concerned with keeping fit and healthy than with setting records (even PRs). So I plod on, enjoying the journey with not too much concern about the destination. But I must admit to getting excited when I run faster or longer than the previous time!
My Scheduled Events:

January 30, 2010: Bill Crews Remission Run 5K, Conroe, TX

April 11, 2010: Capitol 10K, Austin, TX

April 24, 2010: Country Music Half Marathon, Nashville, TN
