About Me
I started running in May 2009, purely to raise money for my daughters therapy centre, and assumed after the event (Asics London 10k) I would put my running shoes in the back of the cupboard. During my training I stumbled upon Parkrun Bedfont Lakes, and after the 10k (which I mostly walked), was brave enough to give it a go. Parkrun introduced me to lots of Fetchies and kickstarted my running. I have now completed many races over many distances, and I am now a member of the 100 Marathon Club. My goal for 2016 is to run less marathons! Show More...
