About Me
Was a runner and loved running but illness and injury have stopped all that. My last big event was Snowdonia Marathon in October 2017. An attempt at a return to run/walking short distances in 23/24 was going well until I ended up with a hip facture. Now on my umpteenth, very gradual return! Also love swimming, living in South Wales so lots of hills and sea Show More...
