About me!
Not naturally a runner, more of a couch potato. But I have been bitten by the running bug and now have completed my first ever marathon - London 2009 - in 4 hours 34 mins and 40 seconds. Loved (most of) it. What next? Maybe triathlon, maybe a marathon in a few years. Whatever happens, the couch and me are estranged.
