I started running eight years ago, slowly at first and am still quite slow now!
I run regularly with the club at our social runs and at races, encouraged by the support and friendship of the other members.
Saturday mornings, whenever possible, see me at a local Parkrun, either running or volunteering.
I enjoy both road and trail running, maybe the latter more, although I have run four road marathons and several half marathons, raising funds for cancer charities at the Great North Run and London Marathons.
