About Me
Feeling the running love

I was never 'sporty' at school, never did any exercise. I was more interested in smoking dope in the abandoned buildings behind the school, you wouldn't find me on the athletics track! Discovered I liked running aged 30 when I went on a treadmill in a gym after my GP got me a free gym pass to help me lose some weight. I started going outside after that and it all took off from there...
My other great love is swimming, I've always loved swimming, I just do it for the pure love of being in water, I'm not a competitive swimmer. Recently I discovered open water swimming which I love even more, there is something magical about turning to breathe and seeing a swan on the water.
I also really like yoga, it's great for unwinding and loosening tight muscles and the mind/body relaxation connection. I love slow flow and restorative and yin styles.
