About Me
Enjoy running, (trails whenever I can), for the peace and quiet. And for the cake frenzy afterwards. My goal is still to one day complete a sub 4 marathon. However, my preference for off road - scenery is better and you never know what you might find. hashtag- notdogging As this is a bit of a notes section I want to note down my wishlist of future adventures.
