About Me
Started running in 2007 after baby No.2, which helped beat the baby blues. Have run several half marathons since then, had a break for baby No.3 in 2009, and in 2011 completed my first (and so far only) marathon. Now running more regularly, after a year or so without, and chipping away at my parkrun time. I've discovered the joys of running with likeminded others and my week is not complete without a Hughenden ladies session. If I lost the extra 3 stone I carry my times would undoubtedly improve, but for now I'm happy plodding. Show More...
