Running
I started running with collegues from my previous job. Some of them ran regularly and they decided to get a group together to run around Willen Lake, once a week, just to get people a bit more healthy… I caught the bug and haven’t stopped since!
In 2006 I started running in some competitions, although not particularly well, has helped me gauge, target and improve my running. I ran in three 10km races and my first Half Marathon.
2007 has seen me run another Half Marathon and 10km race as well as my first Marathon. To date, running a Marathon has been one of the most demanding and difficult events in my life. It was almost on par with completing my degree.
I am planning on running some more 10km races and probably another Half Marathon this year. I keep toying with the idea of an Ultra Marathon, however I’m not sure I have the time to train!
