Welcome to my blog!
When I was younger I only dreamed of being an athlete. I ran for two counties competing in indoor and outdoor competitions, I won some and lost some, I didn’t care I was doing what I enjoyed most, I kept this up until I left school. I then lived a little, took a few wrong turns, smoked drank and forgot about what I love doing the most! Running! Well that was 22 years ago now and this year I decided to go back to the one sport I loved doing.
January 2017 I joined Redway Runners in MK on a recommendation. I joined with a friend and did a 10 week 0-5k beginners course, in 6 weeks I could run 5k without stopping. I Felt awesome! To cut a long story short into a few sentences, I’ve made 65 new friends through running and made some for life too! It’s now become a part of my daily routine, when can I run? How far shall I go? I love it, I don’t like running solo, this is why I have my running green army with me. I’m going to big my running club for a while as I think they deserve it, and with special mentions to some that I have grown fond of.
Tim G (for getting me my 1st 5K PB)
Martin P (for my 1st 10k PB )
Jenny M, Paul W & Simon N (for my 1st 13.1 mile PB )
Also, I can’t forgot, Andy, Steve B , Caz. There is so many more I could name but these ones stick out for making me welcome, supporting me, guiding me and putting up with my constant whining. Thank you to all.
Since Joining running I have 8 Medals with my PBs sitting at
5k – 25:18
10k -55:18
13.1 Miles – 02:03:54
So why am I now blogging my story?
On the 8th October I applied for the chance to become a sponsored spring marathon athlete, I then totally forgot I even applied for it, as I never win anything, Well after checking my Junk folders I found the below email in my inbox, On the 23rd October this happened.
