The Next Challenge... by Skye_Trekker

I took up running sort of by accident in March '07 after being persuaded to take part in a couple of novice triathlons - then realising too late that the only one of the three disciplines I could actually do, was cycle...  The year progressed, the triathlons came and went and the running got easier - and although I still don't really count myself as a "runner" I'm starting to enjoy it more and gradually getting better times and distances.  This blog began in June 2007 and since then I have found the other bloggers on this site to be an invaluable source of information, advice and most importantly humour, and I think without their help and enthusiasm I'd probably not be putting nearly as much effort into my training.

 I run for Breakthrough Breast Cancer in memory of my best friend who sadly died from the disease in July 2006, aged only 39 - that gives me an added incentive to keep running as well...
