On and on.....
Hello
Three years ago it I had a crazy idea to run a marathon so later that year I choose to run the New York marathon it was incredible, I would like to do a NYC again someday. Since then I have completed 4 marathons and the training doesn't get any easier, but the race days are great. My last one was Boston on the 20th April. Hopefully will get to race in London in the not too distance future.
