I have to say that's pretty impressive turnaround young man.

I run to, but purely off road trail stuff and on my own + my dog in most instances. Distance for each run is usually decided within about first 1km and varies between a quick 5km to marathon distance. I'm entering my first official trail marathon on 28th October doing Norfolk Coastal event but purely to see when I actually need to hydrate distance wise opposed to pr- planned meet up with wife.

Goal for 2018 is to do a trail ultra marathon plus later in year I hit 50 so off to Scotland to do Rat Race Coast to Coast event (105miles run, cycle and kayak in a day). 2019 goal is half Ironman and then potentially full Ironman the year after.

When I started 2yrs back I was 83.3kg and now 73kg, before that I was a downhill mountain biker so fairly fit just damaged my hands too much so had to give it up, hence the running.

I'm sure you'll progress to marathons but try trail stuff first, way more relaxing and less damage to your joints plus the real beauty is I can run 18km and see no one for the whole run *bliss*
