About Me
I started running 2 years ago when a mate pressed me into doing a 10km. I struggled with it but was so surprised I completed it that I became hooked. I swapped jobs which meant I could no longer go to the gym as often as I wanted so now I run most days and get that horrible nagging sense of withdrawal when i don't manage to. I have yet to run a full marathon so this year it's the big one! I recently bought a garmin 305 and am totally hooked to it, I love the idea of the virtual trainer so I can lap myself and try to stay ahead of imaginary me (think I need some friends and get out more!!)

Random Q&A	See your Q&A
How do you pick yourself up when you need to? I run every day so it’s just get out and get it done some days. Some runs are awful but they’re better done. I break the hard runs up into 5 or 10 minute chunks in my head . Decent tunes help too
