Bill Thompson's Running Records

I started a running program on September 22, 2001, after having tried to run a 5K while completely unprepared and out of shape.  That was a wake up call!

I began running 2 or 3 times a week, and have since participated in a number of races, mainly 5K's.    Recently, I have attempted some 5 Mile runs and plan to tackle a 10K soon. Many of these races raise money that benefit worthy causes. My brother-in-law Dan, my daughter Anne-Marie, and my son Will sometimes appear in these races, and their times are quite a bit faster than mine.    I have been encouraged by a gradual improvement in my times.

I highly recommend running as a great way of staying motivated, improving your health, and having fun!
