One day I woke up and thought, ' I know, I would like to take up running'. I searched for a friendly group and found Ashford Run Together, who I ran my first 5 miles with. The adrenaline rush was addictive and only a few months later I ran my first marathon. A few months after that I ran my first ultra with Ruth and we became Ultra buddies., running the hills in all weathers whenever we can. I love running but particularly trail running. Ruth and I often catch a train in the middle of the night to somewhere and then run back home fuelled by peanut butter sandwiches. Being outdoors and running with friends is exhilarating.
