I started running in 2005 and cautiously entered the Bristol 10k in 2008 and really have never looked back. I had no clue what I was doing but had definitely caught the running bug!
Since moving to the Staple Hill area I then joined Staple Hill Runners. What a good move, such a lovely group of people led by a brilliant team of run leaders who helped my running enormously. Running has introduced me to so many new friends, a real community.
I'm now a run leader myself and wear my Staple Hill Runners green sweatshirt with pride.
